ratrapp replied to ratrapp's topic in MJ Tech: Modification and Repairs
i seen the 250 price tag and i don't really mind that but if it doesnt fit I'm not paying 250 for it. -

yes the vinyl flooring is what I'm after.89 mj what was the brand you used? -
does anyone know if the rubber floor mats are available for our trucks.mine came originally with rubber and would like to keep it that way.i really don't want carpet.rubber is so much easier to keep clean.

86 fuel tank vent valve hose diagram
ratrapp replied to ratrapp's topic in MJ Tech: Modification and Repairs
thanks that helps alot.the underhood sticker appears to have been missing way before i got the truck.i was happy yesterday to have finally gotten a brake pedal on the truck.after a new master cylinder,3 brake hoses,2 wheel cylinders and all new lines to the rear from the master cylinder to find out that the rear load valve was bad.i bypassed it and have decent brakes now.i dd resurface the drums and rotors and replaced the 2 rear brake cables so at least the brakes are in good shape. -
86 fuel tank vent valve hose diagram
ratrapp replied to ratrapp's topic in MJ Tech: Modification and Repairs
thanks.does anybody have a link to the underhood hose diagrams?would like to get some of this stuff hooked back up, -
after many years of missing my 88 i picked up an 86 2.8 mj 2wd for 300 bucks.it has been sitting for about 5 years but i got it running.i bought a new fuel tank and vent valves for it but rodents have chewed all of the hoses away and was wondering if anyone knows where the vent hoses hook to or have a vacuum hose diagram for it.i replaced the old carb with a new weber but it needs alittle fine tuning.thanks

Bd Motor Mounts - Rubber Or Poly?
ratrapp replied to Zenobian_84's topic in MJ Tech: Modification and Repairs
yeah my oem mounts lasted almost 20 years and they broke.i replace them with the anchor brand and within 3 years it pulled the stud through the driver side mount.i found the brown dog mounts and figured i would give them a try.i ran steel motor mounts on my 68 nova and they didn't vibrate like the brown dogs.i run all poly mounts on my 88 mustang and it has very minimal vibration,nothing like the brown dog mounts.i replaced the inserts with the rubber style that brown dog offers and they are only marginally better than the poly ones.for a trail rig i'm sure they're great but suck on a daily driver.very soon i'm just going back with some cheap o anchor mounts and if i have to replace them every couple years then i'll deal with it. -
Bd Motor Mounts - Rubber Or Poly?
ratrapp replied to Zenobian_84's topic in MJ Tech: Modification and Repairs
i just switched to the rubber inserts and they suck as much as the poly ones despite following all the instructions.i'll be switching back to rubber oem style mounts soon.i'm sure you'll never break the mounts but for an everyday truck they just plain suck.i've ran poly mounts on my 88 mustang and it doesn't shake nothing like these do. -
Trimming Front Fender For New Bumper

Hp Upgrades Without An Engine Swap
ratrapp replied to Rymanrph's topic in MJ Tech: Modification and Repairs
i swapped a 99-up intake with a ho head and it didn't do much of anything but i think the intake helps on a stroker but not a stock 4.0 -
Bd Motor Mounts - Rubber Or Poly?
ratrapp replied to Zenobian_84's topic in MJ Tech: Modification and Repairs
i got the brown dog mounts and they offered 2 different kinds of ply mounts.i got the stiffer style and really wish i hadn't.it vibrates alot,it causes everything to rattle in the jeep that didn't before.i replace the tranny mount with a new srtocker and it helped some but not enough.next time i think i'll get there softer inserts and try them. -
i agree,i did the 96 booster/master cylinder upgrade and it was one of the best things i've ever done to the mj.it's well worth it in my opinion.

i ditched my load valve at the same time i did the booster upgrade. -
Dual diaphragm Upgrade part question.
ratrapp replied to skidoo_j's topic in MJ Tech: Modification and Repairs
the 95-96 is definitly the easiest way to go.i didn't change any brake rod or such.i got the complete booster/master cylinder, valve, lines and spacer from the salvage yard for $40.all i had to do was slightly grind the rod for the renix brake light switch to work.i had already moved the wiper jug in the fender using the 97-01 ckerokee parts. -
i've dealt with the anchor brand on my aw4.in the last 12 years i've replaced it 3 times but ther're not expensive and advance auto keeps them in stock.now on the other hand the tranny mount failed on my gf's 95 zj and caued the cat to crack and break off so i replaced it with a mopar unit.the original lasted almost 200k miles and i'm sure the mount will end up outlasting the rest of the jeep or at least the 42re transmission.

Newer style Valve cover question
ratrapp replied to Paul Bruchal's topic in MJ Tech: Modification and Repairs
just grab the mounting bolts and use the newer style gasket.i did this on my mj amd my gf's 95 zj and it significantly reduced blowby in the breather box.
