The glue on the overhead consoles is a pain to get off. It took me an hour or two to get it off mine with goof off and a toothbrush

 

Yea, I went to town on the back half with goo gone and you see it's still there lol. I am going to take it back down a re-cover it with speaker box cloth, I think. Otherwise, it'll get Bondoed and bed lined lol.

 

Just wrap it in headliner? That's what I did to the ohc I got for my rig. There is a good fabric shop off us 1 towards triangle town center. They have all sorts of colors

 

Good to know, thanks Adam!

 

A little update for the MJ...

Got a few thing done to her recently. For starters, new distributor cap with brass studs, new brass rotor and new wires. Got new spark plugs, also. Swapped to a bare aluminum valve cover. The one that was on it had been half-assed painted by the PO... It was flaking worse than a shady friend. While I was swapping them, I decided to steal the Permadry gasket from my XJ (found out I got the wrong one for the XJ anyway... it has a steel cover). Tightened it all back down with silicon-bronze bolts that I acquired for the job.

Went to the junk yard today and scored eight Dodge Neon 703 fuel injectors. Cleaned them up with brake fluid, ran brake fluid through them to flush them out good and swapped them in. Right off the bat, I can tell the idle is much smoother, she accelerates noticeably better and hopefully that will translate to an increase in MPG.

Now if I could just find a front drive shaft from an AX15 equipped XJ or MJ, then I could actually have 4WD on the truck.

 

I forgot to mention... I was chosen for Comanche of the Month on ComancheClub.com for February 2014!!!

Cool beans!! Congratulations!!

I keep coming back to this thread to listen to that video of the motor and exhaust. I love the way it sounds!!

So... Of course, I ordered a 7477 Cherry Bomb for mine this morning. $54 bucks on Amazon. The shipping will be more that it cost..

 

Of course... I imagine shipping is even more since you're not in the continental US.. I should make an updated video now that it's been tuned up and runs better.

 

That would be cool too!

 

Having some other minor issues with the beast, but I really like the way it sounds with the new muffler.

 

Awesome! I never got around to making a new video, as you can tell... hahaha.

 

Been quite some time since my last update here... Wow!

Anyway, I've decided that I want to lift the MJ afterall. Plans are to do an 8.8 rear with 4.10 gears, SOA swap. RE 4.5" springs, Rocky-Road Outfitters MJ control arm drop brackets and swap in a D30 with 4.10 gears. I've sourced both my axles for the project, and literally just finished my 8.8 about an hour ago after months of slow progress on it. Here she is:


Ford 8.8, 4.10 gears, set up for a SOA swap in an MJ.

 

Annnnndddd... she's in. Still have a few loose ends to tie up. E-brake, shock mounts, and gear oil. Can't wait till I get the front done.
