Burgeo, Newfoundland here.

Thanks for the kind words everyone, it's definitely been fun but frustrating build in times. Hopefully this year it'll spend more time outside than in.

That is it for the winter, I'm gone for work now until the spring, seems the Jeep is parked more than it is driven. Guess that's how projects go, so the Jeep is tucked away for another winter. Leaving for work, about 3hours to the airport, this guy decided to escort me for 5kms ha

Small update, no trip pictures . New tank assembly from RockAuto came in, with new pump, straps and other fittings. Haven't installed the tank yet, jeep is parked for other reasons. Power steering pressure hose sprang a leak or 2 in the metal hose right at the steering box, waiting on a new...

Some pictures of the 5 night trip through Gros Morne National Park. This is the purpose of this Jeep.

Went for a couple nights about an hour from my house. Met up with Nolan in his Rubi JKU, he lives about 200kms from me, so we decided on a place in the middle. During this trip I could smell gas fumes, spent some time underneath, couldn't see any leaks. After I got it home and parked...

Went to the local "car dump" , kind of like a scrap yard but no one runs it, just an old pit where old cars are dumped/stored before they are shipped off to the crushers. You can go there and pick what you want , if there is anything there, usually not. I'm only in a town of 1200 people, next...

9. Since the stock shifter knob would slip off the shifter and I had the TJ transmission in, I used the stock MJ shifter for the garage fridge handle, small tribute . After some side tracking I got at the TJ rear axle , a lot of cutting was coming up. A lot of work for zero upgrade other than...

Had a trip "planned" and didn't think I had time to do the axle swap and spring over so I decided to make a spacer for the shackle mount and new shackle. Stock shackle removed, bolt was seized in the bushing. Grinder with cut off wheel was a very common tool on this thing so far. Made a new...

It spent all its life on Prince Edward Island, next to the ferry terminal, so maybe closest thing to an ocean salvage on land ha

Got the parts from Novak. No pics of the pilot bushing and hose. But I did get the bushing installed. Removed the stock pilot bearing with wet paper and a dowel, was pretty sceptical but I was pleasantly surprised that it came out effortlessly. Installed the mechanical speedo gear from the...

Not working at the Jeep as much as I'd like, but that's how it goes sometimes. Small update, but progress is progress I guess. Bushings and ball joints showed up Got the old bushing sleeves out, passenger side came out fairly easy Driver side needed a bit more coaxing Axle primed...

It will be a little bit before everything is bolted up. Front axle is out and being replaced for a TJ Dana 30. Not much upgrade, maybe a down grade with the low pinion but with the shape my stock axle was in it will be a upgrade in that sense. Also before I put the Jeep away the clutch would...

I live in Newfoundland but work in Alberta. I also have friends and family in Fort McMurray Alberta. I was driving home and about half way home I got the call that Fort McMurray was being evacuated for the wild fires. I have a bunch of friends there, and more importantly my kids live there. So...

I'm building this Jeep to be a daily driver/camping/overland vehicle. It'll get the SOA in the rear, lift the front to match, didn't want to go as high as the 5.5" I've read I'll gain but I think after looking at some (a lot) of the Jeeps on the line, 5.5" lift and 33" or 35" tires will work out...

It's about time to actually start working on the jeep so I will try and keep this build page updated. Mostly with pictures. I live on the Island of Newfoundland, Canada. Saw the ad posting for the Mj in PEI (Prince Edward Island), so that means two ferries and a small road trip to go check it...

I started this build thread over on ComancheClub.com and it's being built towards a daily driver, overland, camping rig, so I thought I'd share it here. I purchased this MJ in October of 2015.. Got it ready for the road and inspection and parked it in November. I will be away from December...
