  1. 91-96 are different Jim - will not work on the 90 and below.
  2. Yes. And that explains the sag.......... BTW, in the parts manuals the 86, 91, and 92 MJs had the 4+1 HD springs; the 87-90 MJs had the 3+2. Weird.
  3. Are the end cuts of all five leafs radiused the same? If so, then you probably have the 4+1 (4 regular, 1 overload) version of the MT leaf springs. Although those look pretty sagged out.........

  5. Or a blown TCU fuse.

  7. Replace the worn out (or broken) spring. I used a 90* dental pick and small needle nose pliers to get the pieces out. http://comancheclub.com/topic/42891-saginaw-column-shifter-spring-replacement/ http://www.classicparts.com/1973-02Shift-Handle-Control-Spring-w_Tilt/productinfo/91-131/#.VPSSd-GS_hk
  8. Great member and a super MJ. Although I'm not a black wheel fan, I love your Ravine wheel treatment. The bright outer trim ring, center cap, and lug nuts are perfect. But enough on your truck - Adam is one of the best go-to guys on the forum and is willing and able to help anyone at any time. You are a most valued CC member mate, and it's a pleasure to have you here. Congratulations on MJOTM.
  9. Agree. If you can't find a decent paint match using Krylon, Mopar sells interior aerosol paints based on your paint code that matches perfectly.
  10. Yes, the MJ LEDs are adjusted too low as compared to the JK LEDs from the same distance. Maybe it's a variation between the Truck-lites and the GEs beam patterns, or the 7" round vs. the 7"x9" rectangular shells, but it's not a problem - still learning. Definitely have to crank them up a bit though on the MJ. MaƱana evening............
  11. I've had the Truck-Lite round LED headlamps in my JK for awhile now and I really like them. So much so that I bought a 5"x7" pair for my MJ. These are the GE Nighthawk brand, and I found them on Ebay for a decent price. The below pictures are comparisons of the HI and LO beam patterns between Hella E-code housings with 55W/100W H4 bulbs and a relay harness, and the GE Nighthawk LED headlamps with the relay harness. Here they are installed. I like how they look: E-code H4 LO Beam: GE LED LO Beam: E-code H4 HI Beam: GE LED HI Beam: There's not a dramatic difference between the two, and it's difficult to take pics like these at night with long exposure times, but I much prefer the LEDs for a few reasons. 1. Light Color: The LEDs are a lot closer to daylight than the H4s yellow-ish color. Much more restful to my tired old eyes. 2. Amp Draw: For the same lumen intensity, the LEDs draw about 25% of the amps the H4s draw and about 33% of the amps of a stock sealed beams. Although I kept my relay harness in, it's really not needed. 3. Expected Life Span: LEDS = 15000hrs, H4s = 150hrs 4. Lumen Output: Low beam is about the same between the two, but high beam seems is best on the LEDs. It seems to get down the road farther than the H4s. I can tell by the pics I need to adjust the LEDs up a bit more. A few factoids comparing the GE LED headlamp vs. a similar 55W/100W H4 halogen bulb w. 1005 (LO) / 2400 (HI) lumens output @ 12.8VDC nominal voltage: LED H4 Low Beam Amp Draw: 1.5A 4.6A High Beam Amp Draw: 2.9A 8.3A Average Life Span: 15000hrs 150hrs

  14. What's the bother of shipping via USPS?
  15. What's that? A said goat? :yes:
  16. No need. You can ship to Guam via USPS for the same price as Stateside. Lived there for years.
  17. Jay, measured the clearance on each main journal with a plastigauge? Unlikely each journal will require the same spec bearing on a crank polishing job.
  18. Lots of motor oils have some zinc content. It's the amount of content that matters. I like Chevron Delo 400 LE 15w40 because it still has a 1300 ppm zinc count, the most of any of the "over-the-counter" motor oils, and it's a dino oil which I prefer over a synthetic. It exceeds the API classification SM for older flat tappet engines, and is one of the few non-exotic motor oils that still do w/o a zinc additive. Chevron Delo 400 is a diesel spec motor oil and I've been using it for years in all the Jeeps I've had over the years, but especially in the stroker with it's mild cam.
  19. :rotfl2: :rotfl2:
  20. Me too.
  21. Just to satisfy my own curiosity, what was the original purpose of the C101 connector on 1987 and 1988 Renix Jeeps? To help speed up production on the assembly line?
  22. Which headlamps are you running? Halogens or the stock sealed beams?
  23. Good site to learn from here: http://www.anplumbing.com/
  24. They are called AN fittings. You will need to adapt the 14mm AW4 fittings with the following: http://www.jegs.com/i/Russell/799/670520/10002/-1
