Jimmy just found me an MJ44 with 3.55s, bolt-in, for $200. I'll probably be picking it up Sunday in Reading, PA. If I decide to go a different route in the end, I can sell it, but I'll probably keep it until I see a good deal on a pair of geared axles at the right time.

It's a 3 hour drive for me, so I'm game if anyone wants to meet up in that area for lunch/dinner (don't know what time yet) and a beer. Might as well make it worth my while. Send me a PM if you're interested.

 

when i go in deep water or mud and the jeep starts miss firing i check the cap to see if theres moister in there if so spray a lil brake cleaner in there and itll dry out. also rear grease any thing thet went under water when you get home from wheelin

 

Yep. Cap was bone dry. I think it was my bundle of Renix wires in the back corner that was giving me trouble. All good now, though.

 

Got my exhaust hooked back up.

Cat, too!


With 16ga galvanized wire wrapped around it and running through the frame in two places


Also, a few people have asked about the axle. I meant this coming Sunday, so sorry for the confusion. Again, PM me if you wanna meet up in/around Reading, PA on Sunday afternoon.

 

Glad to see its back on lol. Hey do you want my factory tow hooks?

 

Nah, I'm alright. I had a set, but I sold them to Swan. I'm gonna stop being stupid, and I'm gonna start putting a Grade8 bolt through the home in the bottom center of the plow mount, instead of looping the strap around the top. Should be good for at least one or two more pulls.

 

Or one long drag lol.

 

i just thought about this...if you bend the plow mount out a little more it's like a pre runner bumper..
sweet.

 

Thing is seriously Awsome, you can weld light tabs on it, spikes, a seat, etc

IDK...Seems a bit shorter to me

 

I've been spraying coolant from the bottom of the bottle once my system builds pressure, but I haven't been overheating. I figured we didn't put the hose far enough on after the coolant flush. So I bought a new hose clamp, and proceeded to remove the old one. Found this:


So I went ahead and replaced my distributor cap which was green, and I prepared my doorless Jeep for the coming thunderstorms. Splices are off the floor, and the doors are still in storage:


And since I was out there, I cleaned off the important parts. You know...lights, signals, and these. Gotta make sure people know what it is:

 

have you thought of converting it to a non presurized system?

 

The open system conversion was at the top of my list, but I didn't want to mess with it since it stopped overheating. I think I'll do it now since the primary closed-system piece broke.

 

now why the hell did you take the hose off the bottom? that was the only thing keeping that bung on the bottle lol

 

Coolant has been spraying out under pressure and I've been leaving large puddles every time I drive it. It was so bad that I thought I lost my #1 freeze plug again until I popped the hood and saw it. I think it cracked/broke when we did the flush.
