rescuing an old friend

[dubt]

used it in my old bronco with great results went from over heating to just over normal temp. Guess it has mixed results:-)

What is creep up? Do you hit 230-240?

once its running again I will see...
but year right around there IIRC...

Ive used it, worked, and sell it.. so its a whatever kinda thing..
but i think a proper cooling system doesnt need it..

[rejeep]

Rears are bolted on...
still need to cut the holes for the taillights and wire them up...
Rear fender liners need to be bolted in as well..

engine compartment acc. are still loose...
may need to look into other applications for better fitting coolant overflow and washer fluid res.

My dual battery tray will not fit... only the TnT unit fits these tube fenders...  alas they just whacked me for another $120
Still only going to run 1 battery, but a stock YJ battery tray will require modification and wont solve where to mount the compressor..

time to lose some lift or get some bigger meats

[rejeep]

got to loose 2" from the body and get some spacers for the rear...
Now that I have a flare that covers the tire you can notice the track difference between the 30 and 8.8

[rejeep]

4.5" holes saw worked nicely for the 4" LED brake lights...
installed, wired is another issue..



Coolant overflow, Evap Canister, and ICM tucked in nicely behind the fender..
used Nutserts in the firewall for the ICM and Evap bracket

yes, the washer fluid is missing and still under advisement as where to mount... I figured not essential for truck operation at this point.



Dual battery tray installed, battery and compressor mounted, OBA manifold mounted to inner fender.. all hoses fit nicely, wires obviously need to be trimmed to fit..

(some of this may sound wordy and redundant.. however I cross posted on another forum and of course gave props to Mike for the awesome work done.)

Going today to pick the Jeep up from a friends shop..
M4WD&Fabrication was nice enough to do some of the misc welding and body lift removal this weekend...
Mike is the driver/builder of the 571 RC race buggy.. more than competent to do my dirty work..

15 year old body pucks, sold originally by JC Whitney were removed.. and replaced by good old factory rubber mounts.




Light tabs and winch hook catch welded on.



some issues that arise with 16 years of Jeep modifications.. biggest issues being with the modifications made in the last 16 days.



All resulting in a much more proportional YJ...
better pics to follow once I pick it up..

nice jeep.  love the top. 


really like the disengage / engage setup on the superwinch.  much nicer than the cam levers on most other types.

looks less Topsy turvey

I sell them... discounted..

Mike did a sweet job rebuilding the rear body mounts...

[cracker]

yeah that looks way better with out the body lift!

[M4wdFab]

ill admit i am not use to working on things you cant slam jack handles and wrenches in to rock rashed paint lol. 


i tried not to melt anything and keep your interior smelling as it should, but that was A LOT of plasma torching all that shit out  haha.

my favorite one was the mount right in front of the rear pass tire.  after the bolt head snapped off, and the tub was lifted off the frame it was necessary to take my biggest pipe wrench and 3' bar on the poly body mount to separate it however from the tub, i was really confused why it was so happy there.
