XJ test drive went well. I've got a few loose ends to wrap up. I have to find new hardware to hold the exhaust together, install some little brackets that help route wiring, etc. Pretty excited though. Interestingly, I'm not seeing the power I was hoping for... not sure if the ECU needs time to adapt or if my exhaust (factory 2001 exhaust to the cat) is too restrictive, etc. I haven't done a WOT pull yet while the engine breaks in, so maybe that's part of it.

One of the dumbest things that the Jeep engineers did was mix steel pins with aluminum door hinge flanges. There is constant corrosion in the pins as well as between the door and the hinges. I had a sledge hammer out to separate the parts.

Engine is basically installed. Just need oil, coolant and a battery.

Solar.

As I start outfitting the Jeep for off-roading or overlanding, I decided one of the foundational pieces of equipment I needed was a solid power source. Enter the Jackery 500 and a Jackery SolarSaga 100 Air.

This battery system has output for 12VDC, USB-A, and 110VAC. It can be charged with household current, 12VDC (off the Jeep’s lighter port), or by aftermentioned SolarSaga 100 Air.

Having a reliable power source in remote areas is important to me. I can charge a dead battery, run a portable air compressor, plus of course charge any electronics I may bring along. With my intention to start working remotely more often, this is a crucial cornerstone of my envisioned digital nomad existence.

When the solar panels arrived yesterday I started charging the battery with late afternoon sun. The battery charged 10% in about an hour, and the input was measured to be around 30W. Not bad for the late afternoon.

I continue to be excited about being a Jeep owner again, and the possibilities this has unlocked for us here in the desert southwest.
