Other pictures of Omega and Seattle/Snohomish: http://wagoneers.com/fotos/2008/04-Apr-05-seattle-mtns-omega/ Hopefully tomorrow my son and his friend will finish the lift on Omega... then I just need to find out which injector is misfiring... (notice the smoke in the pictures). After the engine fully warms up it's fine. Rebuilt injectors... one was initially making a lot of noise, but has gotten quieter... I think once the engine is run for a while it'll be ok. Need to fix the sending unit on the aux tank, come up with an air intake muffler, skid plates for the battery and filters, get down to centralia for my nerf bars and the rest of my parts, finish setting up the XJ console, need to get a GM a/c unit, brackets and hoses, then need to wire up the cruise, install the stereo... mount the inside spare tire... wire up the driving lights... fix the back up lights, the list goes on... :) but things are finally starting to work... No more worry about hitting the oil filter with the front driveshaft! http://wagoneers.com/fotos/2008/02-Feb-17-Omega-oil-mountains/ALL.html john ----- - ---------------------------------------------------------------------- Snohomish, Washington -o|||||o- where Jeeps don't rust, they mold http://freegift.com ** http://wagoneers.com ** - ---------------------------------------------------------------------- ------------------------------ Date: Mon, 7 Apr 2008 21:33:53 -0700 (PDT) From: john Subject: xj: the Omega project My son and I swapped in the last spring tonight... the driver's side rear, the nut on the frame stayed where it was supposed to and we didn't have to drop the tank! Absolutely love working on a 17 year old Jeep that has NO RUST! Omega s running... I may drive it to work tomorrow... :) http://wagoneers.com/fotos/2008/04-Apr-05-after-glowplugs-Omega/ john project highlights: 1991 Grand Wagoneer - factory moonroof, pdl, pw, etc. - - 6.2L Diesel - Novak mounts - - 700R4 with Novak adapter to Jeep NP228 - - new driveshafts and radiator - - rebuilt injectors - - 2" lift from BJs Offroad - - Rancho 5000 shocks - - dual tanks (bioDiesel and Diesel), may heat one eventually - - factory brush guard with factory Marchall fog lamps and IPF driving lights - - XJ center console - - will have WJ seats Still need a GM a/c compressor and lines, and Tan heated leather WJ seats, also thinking of putting two smaller bucket seats in the back in place of the large rear bench to allow access to the rear without using the tailgate. :) ----- - ---------------------------------------------------------------------- Snohomish, Washington -o|||||o- where Jeeps don't rust, they mold http://freegift.com ** http://wagoneers.com ** - ---------------------------------------------------------------------- ------------------------------ End of xj-digest V1 #2769 *************************
