Every time I take my U-bolts off, I put lots of anti-seize on them, so they will always be easy to take off. I would wait if my impact wouldn't spin them off too.

Bought a new Cornwell impact and got the rear end out. Now hopefully nothing else needs to come out and I can work on getting everything back in

Attachment 404379 a lot more parts on the Jeep instead of on the ground now. Got off work a little early today and found some motivation to work on it

Wont be long and you will have another to drive!

*Have one to drive my other one is waiting on me to finish this one so I can pull the motor out of it

29 spline 8.25 with Locker and ruffstuff diff cover is in, rear brakes are bled, rear driveshaft is in with new u joints, radiator and AC is back in. I need to put the belt on, the coolant temp in the back of the head, the MAP sensor, cap, rotor, wires and plugs and it should run and drive I think.

Got everything done except putting in the front driveshaft and checking the fluids. Put oil in it and some coolant and tried starting it, but no spark and it was getting kinda later so I'll check it out more tomorrow after work.

Auto shut down relay isn't getting power. Once I jumped the relay I had power on the injectors, but still no spark and I forgot to check for injector pulse

Runs and probably would drive if there weren't cars blocking it in and a couple of bits laying around it I should move before I break them

Awesome !

All I hear is a challenge. lol

Attachment 404406 cleaned under the hood some and drove it up the street and back. I need to figure out what's going on with the tcase linkage because i can get it in 4 hi, neutral and 4 low, but no 2 hi. It worked before my buddies messed with it so... should be able to figure it out.

Just get a boostwerks linkage. That will fix EVERY problem with the tcase linkage. It's like $50.
If I hadn't just sold mine, I would send it cheap.

I'm trying to not spend any more money on it at the moment because I still need to fix my green one and I've already put more in it than planned

I hear ya'
Check those plastic bushings in the stock linkage. If those are off or worn out, it'l cause issues. You probably already know that though.
Good luck!

Bushings are good, I think when I was messing with it it was just a little bound up because it was sitting on the ground and there wasn't any movement. Now that it moves around I'll mess with it more.

The linkage got flipped around somehow, but everything transfercase is working smoothly again. Filled the washer fluid to get that light off the dash, put the rear seat in, front driveshaft in, fixed the speedo and got it up to 60 without any incident. Need to get the oil pressure sender and the coolant temp sender for the gauges and a couple little things and it'll be turn key ready to go.

Got the NSS cleaned so it starts with the key everytime now (well the few times I tried it), got the coolant temp sensor in and the oil pressure sensor in the Jeep and working. Thinking about driving it to work tomorrow to see if I can get the AC charged, but not sure if I should just suck it up and buy a whole new ac kit for a later model with 134a like I did with my Comanche. I'm really getting tight on cash between all the projects I have going.

Put a WJ booster and master on it, but I didn't get to bleeding it and such so I'll probably get to that Sunday and see how it goes

Well I decided to mess with it some again today and apparently I bent the rod for the new brake booster... oops
Attachment 404436

Well long time no see. Got it running, driving, stopping. Had a guy contact me saying his nephew had a Jeep just like it and that his had been totaled by someone driving without insurance and he made me an offer on it. I decided it was for a good cause and I'd let it go. That guy posted it for sale a week later after taking the stickers off and cleaning it up for $1000 more than he paid, and now I just found it posted again by someone else who has posted it for even more.

What a douche

Murphy's Law #32.
"No good deed goes unpunished".

Unfortunately, the sad truth...

How much were you able to get out of it at least @SatiricalHen ? Were you able to turn a profit after the work you put back into it?

I made a little more than I spent in parts on it, but I enjoyed saving another Jeep and keeping it on the road. Had fun with some friends tearing it down and putting it back together.

That is great to hear! I am happy you were able to get something out of it, and give it another life. That was all I had hoped for it.
