funny video from ck5

yeah in the rear, my tires almost rub the inside of the bed wheel well... so 12fittys on my wheels won't work, at least not well.. i cut my front fenders, maybe 1/2"...i plan on cutting the hell out of them next weekend... but ill have to fold the inner seam pinch weld over because it rubs there too.... bumpstops?? WHY?? LOL

fast idle could also be a faulty CKP... i would start with a full tuneup

so my 89 is lifted 3" with spacers and shackles... i have 31 10fittys on 15x8s with about 3.5" of backspace.... youve seen my fender cutting, without the swaybar and my suspension maxed, my front tires rub the fender ALL over... i want 33s... so what do you think i should go with on my lift plans?? I'm thinking SOA rear, 4.5" coils with acos and custom fabbed long arms.. as well as trim my front fenders more... anyone have a setup lift similar to this? what size tires and wheels you got?

mine was just big enough to fit in the garbage can...

i figured... thanks!!

thank you fellas.... limit flex? right now my shocks do that

whats the deal? i searched but got every "arms" and "control" highlighted... tia

i like that... "project misfit : goatrider"

nice looking mj... but what is this torsion bar you speak of??

:agree: my project is named snowball, because the money keeps adding up. but i haven't named the rig yet rolling downhill like a snowball headed for hell?? lol

CW, hurry up so i can buy your coils!! lol and not to hijack, but where did you get your ACOS spacers?

get a new throttle cable, they get rusty and can bind up, its a serious safety hazard...

88 xj i paid 1k for, had to have it, overheated on the way home, topped off the coolant with spicket water at a gas station and took it and flexed it on some plastic sewer pipe.... sold it the next week for 1200 (300 down and 100 a month) and the kid never paid me off... when he joined the marines, i got it back, and at the time, i had another 88, a 92 and a 93zj... sold it for 400 bucks with a disc'd 4.10 8.8 then was the 86 chevy best 4wd i ever owned.... then the 87 turbo 4 runner, coolest dash of anything i ever owned...

nothing helpful to add, except wanna sell the other coils when you pull them out?? LMK good luck

i wanna call it misfit, because when i went wheeling with the caloosa jeepers last weekend, i was the only AMC, the only TRUCK, the only MANCHE, the only NON BARBIE lol... ohh and the only one with the doors off LMAO ill keep it goatrider, and on the back window, "the jeep misfit"

I'm pretty sure you're gonna have to get an adapter to run a 6.51:1 first gear GM tranny behind a 4.0 heep engine

even if i havent stickered it to it yet?

is it ok??/ i want to rename my mj from 'goatrider' to 'misfit' because when we were wheeling, i was the ONLY nonbarbie out there lol and the only one without doors... so can i do it??

tellin ya, blue teflon grease... works better and sticks better than lithium and silicone... ive got some i think, if you need it i can send it to ya if the other stuff doesnt work... this should

brent, i posted on fjoa about your noise, but what the hey.... if you tightened the springs up without the weight of the vehicle on them, that could be undue binding in the bushings once the weight is on them, so loosen them up and spray some silicone or blaster around them then tighten them back up with the vehicle on the ground and the weight on the springs... if all else fails, use blue teflon grease (available at a ford dealer), it fixes almost EVERY squeak lol... ohh when you loosen the spring bolts, shake the truck side to side and up and down to settle the suspension a little..

nice, are those the standard or longer length?

we had a good time, went wheelin with a local group, lotsa water and nasty mud... i was fairly impressed by the MJ even with the 31x10.5 duelers, where i ALMOST got stuck, a ruby on 35s got stuck lol.... not a whole lot of pics of the MJ in action cuz my wife was takin them, but a few...

yeah i bid 800 on a 91k5 with rust holes in the roof from where the light bar had been mounted, but otherwise mint, cuz they told me, max bid would probably be 5-600 bucks.... 'shame it sold for 2800 lol

lol id have to buy 2 if you made them MJ lol.... but then what if i go round?? lol 'real jeeps have flush mounted taillights' ????
