Rear Suspension/Bed "Thunk"
ratrapp replied to comanche09's topic in MJ Tech: Modification and Repairs
i've got the same thunk as well.i don't even have a spare tire reciever on mine and have new shocks as well. -
yeah,i've still got to put a light on my bumper as well.i've only had mine on for a month and i don't drive at night very often so i haven't seen if i'll get stopped for it yet.i was thinking of the little universal round bulbs that snap into a whole and use the bumper as a ground.i just ate drilling a whole in my bumper but it's better than a ticket.
-
i got the jcr rear bumper as well.i liked it so much i ordered the stage 3 front bumper to go with it.

i don't know about the hesco w/p.i bought one and it didn't last a year.even the cheap advance auto pump lasted 4-5 years.i got the hesco pump,hesco high flow t-stat housing and 180 t-stat.the t-stat didn't last 6 months before it stuck on the way home from work.i replaced it with a good mopar t-stat.the temp gauge no longer flucuates.the water pump is seeping but i haven't changed it yet.you'd think for what they cost they would last longer.hesco does state none of those parts have any warranty as they are high performance.

i just ordered the jcr stage3 front bumper.pics coming as soon as i get my bumper and it on.

MJ Rear Bumper Reviews...
ratrapp replied to Str8OuttaBallard's topic in MJ Tech: Modification and Repairs
i just got my jcr rear bumper yesterday and had it painted and i put it on.i like it alot and the price was very fair.hopefully next month i'll have enough coin to buy the matching stage1 front bumper as well.the only thing i would offer different on the rear is give an option of no reciever hitch and mount the plate bracket in the middle as i'll never use the hitch hole. -
i just got my jcr offroad rearbumper on.i like it alot,but the gf thinks it's ugly but i really don't care.i also replaced my wiper pivot bushings and they really helped the sloppy wipers.still haven't replaced my timing chain set or done my 97 up cherokee wiper jug but it's coming.i do promise pics soon.i got my gf a digital camera and as soon as she figures out all the buttons i'll get some pics up.i think when i get alittle more money put back i'm getting a jcr front bumper as well.

Aftermarket Axle Shafts - Your Opinions
ratrapp replied to 500 MJ's topic in MJ Tech: Modification and Repairs
i put a set of alloys in my friends 04 rubicon.he's pretty destructive as he broke the stock left front axle(not the joint but the axle)see i'll see how this alloy usa set holds up. -
Cherry Bomb/Glasspack OR Flowmaster
ratrapp replied to jeeplover88's topic in MJ Tech: Modification and Repairs
2 1/2 flowmaster 40.sounds good to me,probably not the neighbors in the morning. -
i just done the browndog motormounts.i cheaped out and classic style which are alot harsher than stock.i suggest getting the softer of the two for an everyday rig.on the plus side i don't think i'll have to worry about them failing as they supposedly have a lifetime warranty.hopefully i'll have time to do the timing chain/gears next weekend.
-
i pulled mine out a while back.i didn't seem to help or hurt anything.
-
that's exactly what i'm talking about.does anyone know if new armrests come with the clips?
-
the difference in tanks is the 23 gallon uses 3 straps to hold it up and the smaller tank uses only 2 straps.
-
if you have the hockey style armrest there is a threded stud at the top of the armrest.when you take the 2 screws out of the bottom of the armrest you have to rotate the armrest to remove it,unless the clip has broke that sets on the threaded stud.it locks in a plastic insert in the door which i have new ones for.if you have a good one,i'll gladly buy the whole armrest(color doesn't matter at this point).
-
i've got the plastic clip that goes in the door.yes i do have the hockey style,i just need the metal clip that goes in the plastic clip.
-
when i do mine i comletely fill the tank then drive 300 miles then refill and calculate.
-
my plastic shim is new but there is a clip that fits on the threads of the armrest.this isnt the bottom where 2 screws hold it on,it's the top of armrest.
-
my passenger arm rest pulled loose the other day from the top of the door.i unbolted the armrest and there is a metel clip that goes on the end of the threads that was broke.i called teamcherokee and they said they had the clips.2 weeks later they sent me the plastic inserts that goes in the door where the broke metal clip attatches to.the picture teamcherokee shows for a new armrest doesn't show this clip and they don't know what i'm talking about.does anybody have a clue on this one?

i've got the 23 gallon tank with 4.0,aw4 and 4wd and i only get 330-350 out of a tank.mine is a 10mile commute to work doing 55-60 mph and then a little city driving.some people get better mileage or think they do going by inaccurate speedometers or relying on the gauge itself.this truck has been in the family since it was less than a year old and only had 8k miles on it and it didn't get much better mileage then.my gf's 95 grand cherokee with a 4.0 gets about 5 more miles a gallon than my truck,go figure.
-
i'm buying my gf a digital camera.i already ordered it,just waiting for it to come in and for her to learn how to use it so i can post some pics.i'm definitly getting a 91-91 head and using the hesco tps adapter.do you have to change the trans kickdown cable?i've already got the throttle bracket and most everything else like tb,intake,rail,pump etc.
-
well,i don't know if i've got tons done but it is moving forward.i only get to work on it on sundays if i don't have something else to do like fix friends or familys cars.if it weren't for comanche club and seeing how much others have done to there mj's then i wouldn't probably have done no where as much to it.my truck will never be as nice as some of the rigs on here but i just want to make it better than it was and hopefully last me a few more years.i want to do the ho head but it will be spring before that happens.i've already got the 99-up intake,fuel rail,injectors,p/s pump and bracket and tb.i've still got a throttle cable and apparently a trans kick down cable.hopefully in april or may that'll come together.
