Now what I need to get, a 1988 4.0 flywheel, the little spring that goes on the throttle body where auto trans lockdown cable normally connect to.

I think I have an ax15 crossmember upstairs in the garage attic or I prob end up making my own.

Oh yea I need to find a np242 to shove behind the ax15.

 

... and a partridge in a pear tree

 

So today I put on a starter I acquired from the part-out yesterday on the second MJ, poured gas in the tank, and hooked the jumper cables up to the battery clamps. The other end went to the battery on the other MJ. After some slow cranking and bunch of starting fluid, it finally came back to life.

Smoked little blue. Prob from oil that was sitting. I ll keep it running and see if it stop bluing up the exhaust. Just need more gas.

Next thing on the list is to test the compression before I pull the drivetrain out.

That MJ got only 129k miles on it.

 

Thought about turning the parts MJ bed into a trailer ?

 

Too cliche for me to do and I have no need for a trailer with walls. That and I don't have the room in the driveway to park the trailer.

 

Fair enough, just a thought.

 

Nah, if you're gonna chop it up I'd do something like a bench or something with it. Some \m/ METAL art \m/

 

Save it for when some dumbass bumps into yours.

 

No room to have (keep) it in the driveway so it gotta go. But it will go in good hands.

 

You need a bigger garage.

 

Are you saying you ll let me use your garages?

 

You can use mine if it means you don't SELL AN MJ!

 

So I was browsing Craigslist looking for a NP242. I saw one post; the seller had an AW4 with a NP242 attached to it. For $200. I emailed him and asked if he would sell the transfer case seperately, for $50. He was willing to do it. I also told him I ll give him $25 to deliver it to my house. So $75 later it's in my garage.

 

SWEEEET!

 

browsing CL usually ends in regret for spending money :/
