I'm totally stoked, as we used to say back in the day.

 

I just binge read all 16 pages of this thread. Truly awesome, I've not looked forward to something like this since Season 2 of Orange is the New Black. Keep it up, fellas, you're doin' the Lord's work. The Lord of Rare Jeeps, that is. I hope you emailed Zombie to let him know she lives, his love for that truck is obvious.

 

Excellent work! Kudos to you guys getting it back on the road!

 

Quick test drive. This thing is fun haha. Brakes suck though, so that's the next thing I have to address. Runs like a champ.

 

Man, I'm so happy for you guys and the Jeep!

So good to see it running good and in the right hands!!!

Props on all the research and awesome work you guys do!

 

Had to fill up yesterday, so I figured I would post a pic of things to come... On the MJ, there is a 23 gallon tank. The low fuel LED just started to flicker so I filled it up.

19.37 Gallons
570.9 Miles

29.4 MPG with letting it idle until warm every time.

Thanks! Glad I could revive this rare gem lol.

And the radio just randomly started working... WOOT!!

It'll be interesting to see what mpg and range I get out of my 32gal tank then. I'd be perfectly fine with the MPG you're getting. Any better than that would just be the cherry on top lol

 

way to go

 

Sounds like it is warming up to you.

 

Thanks!
Seems like it lmao. Can't wait till it's inspected/registered/insured so I can start driving it... It's a spunky thing when it comes up on boost. Not sure how accurate the gauge is, but it hit 10-12psi when I revved it out in 1st going around the neighborhood.

 

This this thing drives impressively well on the freeway. Speedo is a little off because of the tires, but that's no biggie since I'll be putting stock size tires on it soon. Currently an indicated 55 is actually 63.

 

Been road legal for about a day and a half and I've already put 136 miles on it. XD

Cruises at 60-70 quite well.

 

There is a distinct possibility that the fuel gauge doesn't work because I think I just ran out of fuel..... Lol

 

Okay. Who has tips on priming a Renault 2.1L turbo diesel? Lol
