Yep, already have a set. They're 3" lift springs from a ZJ. Should do the trick...

 

Hey, everything ok up north? We haven't heard from you in a while, thought I might have to come up there and get you motivated !! Just kidding!

 

Yeah, been a lot going on with the holidays, a couple of weeks of everybody being sick, a change in job assignment, New Year's weekend spent doing an engine swap in my truck, and a LOT of absolutely LOUSY weather.

Getting down to the last of the small stuff though. GP wiring, cold start advance circuit, finish putting the front end together, raise the rear a little more to level it out, finish the interior.

Its all small stuff, but I can't seem to get home before dark to get anything done during the week, and can't seem to get a break in the weather on weekends...

 

Yea, got to love the "liquid sunshine" up here in the NW!! At least we aren't digging out of numerous feet of snow!

 

Hey FTE, could you do me a favor? Could you email me a picture of one of those wheels from your MB donor? I'm getting to the point of really needing new tires but I want to make sure those rims are the ones I want to use before I start shopping for 15" tires for my MB.

BTW, I'm still making progress a little at a time. Got the high altitude switch, the temp switch, and the relays I need. Drew up the circuit diagram on how to wire it all up. Also got the front end put back together except for the bumper, and got the new rear shocks installed so I can lift it a little in the rear.

One good sunny 3-day weekend and she'll be on the road...

 

Yea,when I get back home I will get you a pic, I think they are the "pie crust" style or something like that that came on the SDL.

 

Ive enjoyed your jeapin program comin along great cant wait to see it done that would b neat to toy around in theres a cherokee here close a guy bought w a 4bt id like to get ahold of but it would need a frame its bad rusty

 

Here you go, sorry it took me so long.

 

Well, I'm glad to report some more progress. Dropped and re-installed the t-case with a new gasket. No more ATF leaks. I also started it for the first time in nearly two months and it fired right up the second glow/crank cycle.

While I had it running I decided to move it a couple of feet forwards and backwards to test the torque converter. After moving it back & forth a couple of times I figured I'd test the stall speed, so I stood on the brake pedal, and gave it the throttle. Imagine my surprise when the rear tires let out a loud SQUAWK! It actually broke them loose on dry concrete! I certainly DIDN'T expect that! That also put my mind to rest about one other thing I was a little concerned about - whether the vacuum pump would supply enough boost to the brakes...

Just need to finish putting the interior back together and she's ready to be a driver!

 

Glad to see you making progress!! I want to see a video of you doing a smokey burnout!
