tires were half the value of the thing, he has a stock set. 


says the winch is in rough shape now and doesnt know if it works.  probably still a good deal for the new price he threw, but tires are expensive man!

Post by: M4wdFab on August 29, 2012, 01:45:36 PM
500$ for (4) retred 31's is WAY to much for this project budget

Title: Re: Wonder 2.0
Post by: M4wdFab on August 29, 2012, 10:28:07 PM
ill probably take the tires Mark



got this kid home at 7PM, running by 9:15   :)



new crank position sensor installed, two new O2 sensors included also.  she has some good roof rot, but underneath pretty clean.  couple dings, the interior isnt bad, just some hacks and things taken apart.


Warn winch is hosed, sever corrosion and cracking on mount and motor, soloiniod box is mush.  ARB bumber good, all interior parts present.



couldnt get it to crank with key, probably same problem with Wonder 1.0 that i will never find.  fired right up, shifts good, 4x4 good, trans 4 gears good.


oil good, trans fluid dark.

needs exhaust put back on (all present and in the back, clean) interior emptied, cleaned, driver side window motor, window controles probably replaced, radio put back in, hood latch cable sourced, fenders trimmed, 33" tires 


she is a machine!

Post by: M4wdFab on August 29, 2012, 10:33:12 PM
came with new in box

crank sensor
(2) O2 sensors
new drawbar with 2" ball
boxes present for cap, rotor, plugs, wires already installed when original trouble shoot occured

those items probably cost what i paid for the jeep, so i am thinking this is a score for a good flip again.

exhaust put back on, it was pulled because 02 was snapped off in bung.  welded in new bung and put in new 02.  Emptied out the truck into the dumpster.

did some triming and fit some new to me 33's

needs about 1" lift more in the front and more trimming.  good in the rear.

Post by: M4wdFab on September 21, 2012, 08:44:54 AM
small explainable issue yesterday upon road cleanup.  I was trying to let it run to charge up the battery, but idleing with no Efan, she started to over heat and popped a CEL, once i got some clean air and speed, it was fine, and then i didnt let it idle.  a few more starts fine, and the light went away.


Need to get an efan for this guy.


Figured out giggling the key is what makes the radio power / power locks / windows not always work. 


she also has some randomness that sometimes locks all the doors. 

Seems to run good with good power, kinda fun to drive.  autos are weird.

needs efan to do anything other than daily driving.

not sure front end clearance is enough for any type of flex.  i herd a little rubbing even going on and off camber on the side of 390.





tires are smooth and not too loud to 60-70

That's a guy in the WNY 4x4 club that I'm in. I believe it's lifted with 3" springs and 2" blocks / spacers. There's a couple other people talking about it on the club's facebook group page.

Have to find the power lock fuse on this guy, keeps killing the battery.  Also today I noticed the fob for my dodge also locks and unlocks the jeep.  Thats kinda funny.  I would have thought by 99 they would have a million codes for that sort of thing.

I think the power locks are spazzing and killing the battery.


i am still on the battery it came with that i brought back from the DEAD DEAD, because i dont want to kill a good battery untill i figure it out.



it pulls .56amps while sitting.   the tolerance of my clamp on meter thats believeable.   more than once i have walked up to it and heard the hatch lock going nuts

this guys IACV is not happy, wont start without lots of throttle games, even after restart from Eagle jump.  Never experienced this before.  dont thing its a Voltage or Memory thing, radio settings were saved.

no codes other that transmission position signal (known issue)

I know it doesn't take the battery going down too much to throw mine into idle re-learn mode sometimes. Seems like there were a couple times it did it and the clock didn't even get changed.

Both my Jeep and Reid's TJ have both been cured of what seemed like a never-ending idle re-learn by freshening grounds and battery connections.

I'm sure Chadley would agree on the TPS though.
