Blue XJ

I'll try to dig mine out this weekend, assuming I still have it. I seem to recall it being pretty flat, since I think I had stuff stacked on top of it. I could be wrong though. I think I have some larger pieces of cardboard as well, I'll let you know what I come up with.

We buy from Alro at work, for small stuff at home I go two smaller places around me. I usually buy from their scrap pile and get everything pretty cheap.

I am going on 3+ years with my Ryobi lithium ion bateries. I've had the tool longer but got 4 new batteries for Christmas a while ago, I have no complaints.

You could always just toss a 2" spacer in the front for now to help level it out.

Mines all stock, with the exception of converting to an open system by putting a filler T in the upper hose. Runs at 205~210 all day everyday on the trail. If its running hot, you either need to replace coolant or the radiator.

Does the input gear engage properly? There were 3 different length input gears over the years, just make sure yours engages enough to the output on the trans.

That's fine with me, you two can work it out and let me know. I'll trade either of you my transmission for a bottle of Jack!

I'm using the Auto TPS with an auto harness and a manual trans. This is on a Renix Jeep. The TPS reading are the same, the auto version just sends a signal to the trans.

It's yours, just give it a good home, don't worry about the money. I've had it listed locally for a while with no interested. I'm glad to give it to someone who can use it, instead of scrapping it.

I don't think they ever made a 4 cylinder with an AW4 did they? I know there was a few XJ's built that way and the axles came with 4.56 gears, but I didn't think there were Comanches built with that combo. I thought all the 4 bangers were manual Trans's.

I have an AW4 from a 4x4 90 sitting on my garage floor. Has the torque converter and flex plate as well. I took it out to swap for a manual. I had it rebuilt a while ago, but I bet it has less than 20k miles on it. If you have a way to pick it up from south east Michigan, I'll make you a great deal on it. I reused the t-case though, so I don't have that.

I think mine would have a catastrophic failure if I ran it in the 1/4. Even with the low mileage drivetrain it has. I would be curious to see what yours does though, since mine also has a 4.7 stroker and 4.56 gears.

Lol, I used to have a Blue XJ, so I kept my old screen name, I'm Blue XJ on every forum, even non vehicle related ones.

There are no part numbers left on the box, I've had it a long time, its just the smaller box Lowe's sells, at the time it was the only one that matched the width of my bed.

I'm running Spicers. I've tried Moog and TRW, ended up going back to Spicer.

Not to steal your thread, but I got my tcase handle installed. I cut the old one off amd welded the new one on. It was pretty straight forward. I angled the edges on the new one to have a smooth transition to the old one. Image Not Found Image Not Found Image Not Found

+1 for the redline kit I just tossed a bunch of those struts and mounts at work. I didnt even think about using them for that. Any idea what pressure the struts are rated for? I had 30 and 40lb ones.

I don't remember, there was 4 of us I think last time, but they gave us 2 guides. It's been years, I really don't remember. Not sure if its still open even.

Why waste the time? Ace (or any decent hardware store) should have them on the shelf.

I went with a Luk for behind my stroker, so far I havent had any issues.

Thats a good price, they charge $80 just to balance at the shops by me.

If you want real hardcore trails, talk to the owner and ask about Mission Impossible, its a few miles down the road, in the original owners back yard. They usually provide a trail guide or two, I think 35's and two lockers are the minimum for them to let you in. Its a fun time.

My wife works in a hospital, they've seen a ton of flu patients this year. They have all been strain A so far as well, no strain B yet.

I ordered the same stick for the tcase that you did, ordered last night at 7:30 and already have a tracking number. I have the newer style console in mine, its a bit flatter in that area, I think I can make it work. Cut the old one off where it becomes vertical and weld this one on.

Does seem a little too expensive, that's more than the going rate around here. Mine are double cardan shafts, but the last one I had lengthened, balanced and new ujoints cost me about $260.
