Picked up my 93 Manual… manual … manual sport a couple of months ago and am finally getting around to focusing on putting some much needed TLC.
I have a long laundry list of stuff to get done on it first before doing any cool stuff to it:
Speedometer moves all over the place until the vehicle warms up – From what I can tell there is a short in the cluster.
Excessive heat is coming from the center console on longer drives – Could be “feature” or the transfer case or transmission are putting off to much heat
The transmission shifts out of 2nd and is difficult to shift into – Might need to rebuild the transmission. Not sure what kind it is yet.
Stereo only functions out of one speaker and loses the station – Planning on tossing a new one in eventually
When I was looking for the model number of the transmission today, I found the transfer case rear seal leaking oil. – No clue what to do about it yet.
Both exterior mirrors are broken and kinda flop around in the wind – Planning on replacements
The rear window wiper hose is disconnected
There is some goofy clamp hanging down from the driver’s side rear leaf spring
Leak from the rear main seal – probably get that fixed with the tranny issue
Left front signal marker is broken
Rust spots in left rear quarter – probably in a bunch of other places too
At least the AC works
Done:
Seats cleaned
New motor mounts

Planning on some kind of a lift, but with 3.07s I am not sure if I will go beyond 31s.

Dude that color is amazing!! Always loved it.

Anyway do what I did. I'm sticking with 31's in my 5 speed as well and I swapped in the auto axles which have 3.55's. Its perfect & cheap

And leave the red stripe please! It looks sooooooooooooooooooooo good that way!

easiest way to regear, and easy to find xj's in the junkyards.

Kamaran

Exactly! Man I just can't believe you got that color with a 5speed..I'm so so jealous.

Oh.. never realized someone had posted back on my Heep. Thanks everyone!

Done:
Got a lift under it and found a deal on some steel wheels.
Simple stereo installed and found a crack in the antenna connection that was giving me poor reception.
I have 2 new external mirrors on the ride
Front left marker was fixed via junk yard parts for $10

Looks nice always liked that color reminds me of my old 95 sport down to the red stripe

3.55s may be the way to go, but I am holding out for 4.11s (or 4.10s whatever) as I went just tad over board with the lift/tires.

Shortly after the RC lift, I twisted a bunch of stuff under it whilst wheeling with crappy tires. The 16 inch wheels were mounted up with some used swampers. All that breaking in gave me a horrible death wobble.

After checking everything went with a Ironman4x4fab track bar. To keep it clean for the install, added some Goodyear DuraTrac 265s.

Tracks wonderfully straight once again.

Installed an OME steering stabilizer and love it!

jeep is looking good! how do you like the duratracs offroad? i have them in 235s right now and havent had a chance to get them offroad yet

Bloo

I had the Duratracs also in 235 and they were fantastic in the snow and off-road. It seems to be a tire that can cover a broad area of terrain including the fluffy stuff. Along with that, regularly rotate them to keep wear patterns consistent.

Here is a pic coming out of Jenny Creek with no issues for the water to rock transition other then some minor wheel spins up just a bit further in an dug out obstacle.

Took the Jeep up North Twin Cone peak a few weeks ago. A touch challenging with an open diff. Sure is rocky and bumpy up there too.

Recently also just installed a Magnaflow Catalytic Converter, so happy to have some power back.
