Procedure is basically the same for both years, but the 97+ is much easier to work on.

One of the smartest guys I know smokes a lot of weed everyday, still smarter than me. Just like you guys know weed users are lazy and not motivated, I know smokers are low class, ignorant thieves. See ain't one persons anecdotal evidence great?

front leaf spring setup on an MJ
Sir Sam replied to S.S.O.'s topic in MJ Tech: Modification and Repairs
Different, like everybody else. See, lots of people have done front leaf suspension. You should just do NO suspension, weld the front end to the frame. That'll be different. -
Not quite. Octane measures the tendency to pre-ignite. Adding ethanol increases the octane level. 89 octane is still 89 octane whether it has ethanol or MTBT or whatever that stuff is called. Ethanol is also not too good for rubber fuel system components as it has a tendency to corrode rubber, nor too good for the top end of your engine as it washed the oil off the cylinder walls. Government thinks ethanol is great because it is produced domestically and works fine in their fancy 2009 model cars. They don't care about those of us who can't afford to take out a second mortgage to buy transportation and are stuck driving old junk that was never designed for ethanol. But with less available energy, even a flex fuel vehicle will get better mileage and last longer engine wise with less ethanol and more gasoline. Incorrect.... My 99 Dodge Mini-van with the 3.3 Flex-Fuel motor gets a combined 18 MPG on E-10.... On E-85 it gets..... a combined 18MPG... If your theory worked correctly.. we should see less MPG... Also when the fuel price climbed to $4.35 per gallon last summer.. E-85 finally crossed the $3.00 barrier.. topping out at $3.09 per gallon. My 5.2l 94 ZJ normally gets around 15-16 MPG combined on E-10 or no lead. With a 50/50 mix of E-85 and E-10.. I averaged 15.5 MPG.. with one tank that was almost all interstate I got over 18 MPG with it.... And since the mid-80's pure rubber in fuel systems has been rare and getting more so. Nitrile Rubber and Viteon have replaced it. Both of these are alcohol resistant so they don't corrode. Also the mini-van is the older generation that had an alcohol sensor in the fuel tank. This allows the ECM to alter the engine settings to compensate for the change in alcohol content. The secret is not change fuel concentrations back and forth constantly. And how much was your ethanol without the socialized government subsidy?

of course its not anywhere near me, i need a bumper..........

no. upcountrys did lose the rear sway though

Not quite. Octane measures the tendency to pre-ignite. Adding ethanol increases the octane level. 89 octane is still 89 octane whether it has ethanol or MTBT or whatever that stuff is called. You'll find that for a 15% ethanol blend at 89 octane, and a gasoline only 89 octane, that the ethanol blend will have less propensity to preignite than the gasoline.(of course, this probably isn't a problem unless your pushing 14lbs of boost on a 320hp engine) That being said, it still wreaks havoc with injectors and other things.

ethanol has fewer BTU, so between buying one gallon of pure gas, or gas with ethanol, your are paying for fewer BTUs. This is one reason why diesel has better fuel economy, diesel has more BTUs in it. The up side to ethanol is that is does not preignite very easily, this means in a high compression, or turbocharged application you can get away with running a lower octane gas with ethanol and still make the same power or economy. Though for a standard compression ratio engine, or a non turbo engine, it sucks monkey balls.

Fixed that for you, and birds can get the flu too... uhhhO I just came from my buddies and we grilled some pig... Oh $h!t I feel kinda sick... Wait I think thats the rolling rocks... You feel sick from rolling rock? Maybe you just need to change your tampon. :yes: :yes: Bloody good idea! pun intended?

You mean as the seller or buyer? The buyer. If the seller is on here, I know he's laughing to the bank. :D None of us cheap suckers would pay out that amount. Hell, that's the price for a whole truck with the tail lights in WI. :cheers: But to be fair most of the truck is rusted away, except for the lights that is.

Ya I saw it when they were at like $60. crazy

Tell the guy you'll take it. Book a road trip to Bush Garden's, or Disney World. If it is relatively close, I could pick it up for you and store it on my MJ until you arrive! Or you could just wait like I did and something will eventually show up in your area. While I appreciate the offer there just no way I can take the time to drive to florida. Problem is I doubt a shell will come up in my area for a long time. I need a longbed shell, and I want a fiberglass highback shell.
-
Ya I don't know at what point I start thinking about that. For example somewhere in florida I found the exact top I want, fiberglass, long bed, raised back. $100. But there are all sorts of logistics involved, and I don't want to bug the owner untill I have something figured out well.

i don't know, something about a hunting breed laying around with chickens just doesn't seem right. :yes: The dog is sniffing the chickens @$$ and another chicken is sniffing the dogs @$$... WTF is going on?? Is it Armageddon?? :hmm: :dunno:
-
ya I watched that not too long ago.
-
Just wondering.......more than a couple of times now I have come across the exact type of shell I am looking for, but its on the other side of the country. Anyone ever had one shipped?

Correction, WJ's have a funky alum housing D44 axle. Known to eat carrier bearings. 5.2L V8 ZJs had a D35!!!!! Unsure what the 5.9's got. Possibly some late production ZJ's got this alum D44 axle as well. After all, its a Jeep and NOTHING is set in stone as far as build parts. :eek: :D CW the 5.9s had the D44a. But other ZJs also had the D44a.

I recently saw a preview for a wierd movie, the main character drove a blue MJ, it got alot of face time on the screen for the preview.

This tag shows year:

Ya I have several sets of them, I am putting the whole 2500 front end on my comanche. They are alright, but not really suited for an MJ at all.
