Project Plum (87 Renix)
Well, I bought this hunk of metal from some craigslister pretty much bone stock. I recently found an awesome Napa connection that gets me parts for 15% above retail, so, naturally, I have just been buying stuff and changing out old parts. To date:

I will do my best to add pictures throughout to see progress, and as a reference posting. I only hope I can be as useflul as some of the other members I have seen.

Well, yesterday a buddy and I spilt the transfer case with the intention of replacing the chain. It was in great shape, no teeth missing, and the inside was nice and clean. So, we replaced the front and rear differential gaskets and the rear universal joints. In the mean time, we found out that the rear end is a D44, not a D35 :)
Also, I had some old rims that were given to me by the guy I bought my jeep from. I cleaned them up a little and, thanks to an idea from these forums, painted them. http://img808.imageshack.us/img808/5...eelsbefore.jpg http://img812.imageshack.us/img812/1...eelsafter2.jpg http://img99.imageshack.us/img99/5814/wheelsafter.jpg |

lol, considered...

I think next will be the steering stabilizer, tie rod ends, and everything else I can think of to make that effing wobble on the front end go away.
|
Sounds like you've had a lot of headway. Good job man!
|
Thanks, like I said, I get a pretty good deal on parts recently so, if I even think for a second that it might need it... its getting replaced!

OOh, that does look nice...
|
I bet yellow would look even more amazing with a black grille+headlight bezels
|
wow nice banana
|
I'm partial to black but I'm also sick of washing it to keep it clean. There's a yellow XJ here in town and every time I see it I wish mine was yellow. Go with yellow.
