Ok, I finally installed the new pipe. It has a lot more driveshaft clearance than I had before, but is a bit closer to the oil pan. I glued some FelPro exhaust gasket material to the pan as an insulator. I did have to modify my home made transmission to exhaust mount to better center the pipe to avoid contact with the crossmember. Mounting it to the trans hopefully let's them move together to avoid stressing the pipe, (old one was mounted to the body and eventually cracked). It also included FWD type spring bolts, so that should let the pipe move a bit as well. The rest of my exhaust is 2-1/2 with a dump before the rear axle, so it should be pretty free flowing. No leaks on initial startup.

This thread has pics of all engine options and years. Hopefully it has what you need.

like a lot of old Jeeps, she still looks good long as you don't get too close definitely needs tires though...

You’ve got the carbureted 2.8, right? If so, that looks to me like a mechanical fuel pump. It might just be the gasket that’s bad. If the pump still works properly, I’d just replace the gasket. It’s hard to find a good mechanical fuel pump anymore.

the rear half of the rockers need some love, but that's waaay down the list. thankfully my KJ came with the plastic covers so it looks fine rolling down the road.

the exhaust is a work in progress. I was able to salvage the middle hanger from my spare drivetrain. currently there are stainless hose clamps holding the pipe to the hanger. I'm not doing anything more until the Jeep proves reliable.

Hi, does someone know what this is? I think it's leaking oil and I want to replace it.

I think I'll just buy a couple feet of vacume line from the auto parts store and make it look pretty. Anyone know where I can get a photo of the 2.8l w/ ac routing? I can't make heads or tails of my diagram, thanks.

Don't freak out if you watch our YouTube videos for MJ content and see our Ram! We did throw the tent on the Dodge for our last ghost town hunting trip. It was 1300 miles over a long weekend with highs in the mid 90's, so we took the easy way out with the white truck with A/C. 😁 We bought the Dodge new in 2005, so it's not new to the fleet, either. This does bring up a problem that I will probably need help with, though. Heather commented over and over how nice it was to have AC. I need to finish the AC conversion on the MJ. I put in an AC heater box, control panel and new evaporator, but as far as I got. Questions to come in the proper forum when I get to the electrical part. 😬

An AN solution would be ideal for me! So far, no issues with the clamps on the XJ or MJ. I would feel better if there was a barb though.

Sounds like the injector isn’t pulsing. has the pump been tested?

Ha, $900 isn't enough-he also has to charge for shipping too!!

no!!!!

So sorry to hear that!

I forgot to mention, when I add fuel directly to the throttle body, it will start and run until I run out of added fuel.

245,813.8 kms, or 147,488.2 miles for my Southern neighbors.

So I've had my Comanche off the road since 2013. Started it up and dove it around the storage yards annually. Until the pandemic I never had an issue. The new owners felt the need to siphon my full tank of fuel. So when I went to pick it up last summer it was no go. Had to winch it onto and off the trailer to bring it home. Due to a hip issue it's been parked and neglected since. Now I want to put it back on the road. It gets better fuel economy and funner to drive them my 2500HD. It'll crank all day long but not fire. Lots of spark, fuel pressure at the TBI, not sure how much. I know I replaced the fuel pump back in 2011 or 2012. I pulled the fuel filter and when I turn the key, it only cycles for maybe 3 seconds. Having not driven or worked on my baby since 2012, I can't remember if that is normal. I'm at the point of dropping the tank and testing and inspecting. The last 3 days have convinced me the world has indeed moved on since 2012, lol. 3 days to get in a fuel filter, & distributor cap. Amazingly they still had spark plugs and a rotor cap. I foresee a trip into the closest city tomorrow morning and the closest pick n pull. So long rambling story aside, is my pump running for 2-3 seconds normal? I wish I had not lent out my boroscope, it never came back :(, I know the tank was almost factory new when I replaced the pump the last time. Keeping a fuel tank completely full or completely empty makes a difference.

Hello, I'm really sorry for not responding sooner and to report that the trim piece is gone. I had a house fire back in January. It's been a challenging year, and I've been slowly working on putting my life back together.

No pics but a quick update - SYE ordered, will be here Monday. Angle of the rear diff will require some work for a double cardan shaft. The shorter XJshackle will draw the rear down another degree or two but I can work a fair amount of rotation adjustment into the SOA with slight modification. TC Plan: I have a 98 XJ 231 I bought super cheap from a NC4x4.com member back in 2022. Something's wrong inside, so I'd opted to use the 93 YJ's 231. I'll crack it open tomorrow. Front output won't move and it won't shift. Rear shaft is free. I'm going to try to cannibalize the shift rail, sector plate, rear drive sprocket and mode hub from the 98. The 98 shift rail won't need to be shortened for the SYE tail housing, and I won't have to mess with the caged needle bearings on the drive sprocket from the 93. And I'll have true neutral disconnect with the 98 sector plate.

There is a lot going on with that Civic. VW beetle fenders and a YJ Wrangler grille. With maybe a square body Chevy hood used as a visor.

I had welded my old rims to fit the new bolt pattern, but at around 110–120 km/h, the car started to wobble a bit. Today, I went to check out some new rims and a set of 38.5" Super Swampers. When I got there, the guy had a set of 40" Cooper tires already mounted on the rims. He wasn’t planning to sell them—but I managed to convince him. So now I'm rolling on 40s! 😄 My old rims and new ones, got to weld beadlocks on them but as sweden offroad tour is starting tomorrow I do not have time.

Just WTF.....
