  1. no, not really. some random aftermarket crap, but it's not a valuable enough truck to justify quality restoration parts. a lot of stuff can interchange with Cherokees.
  2. adding a washer behind the steering stops can help with the rub. if the rub is on the control arms, WJ arms can be swapped in to gain clearance.
  3. fixed. again.
  4. yup. getting a little peeved. :fs1:
  5. if you need a small bump, sure. :thumbsup:

    I should be down there on Monday or Tuesday to see him. :banana: Oh, and the rest of my family. guess I'll see them too. :rotf:
  7. be sure to let the silicone cure for a bit before you fire it up. :thumbsup: overnight is best.
  8. only takes one harsh bump at speed to tear the suspension out from under your truck. people spend 10s of thousands to desert race and they don't do it for the bling factor. a structural rollbar (or better yet, a cage) is also highly recommended. cheap lifts are cheap for a reason. if you want to save some dough and still go fast, look for used parts (but not "used up" parts). and if you plan on any jumping... don't.
  9. I thought that's what my oil passages were for. somehow I don't think there's much to be gained with a modern engine. maybe the old v8s since they were of a cruder design, but our particular engines run for 300k if you simply keep up with maintenance. :thumbsup:
  10. does that dump oil into the intake? :hmm:
  11. if you want to jeepspeed, don't go get the cheapest lift you can find.

    poor guy had to go back to the hospital today for some blood work but he's home now. :thumbsup:

    chain saws...

    stopped by today but that shop didn't have an E model in stock (got another one south of me to check out when I get a chance). also they said that they don't like the E because you can't ever spin the engine faster than 750 rpms and that can cause problems because they are sensitive to old gas and get out of tune pretty easily. :dunno:
  14. there are actually 2 or three temp sensors on your truck. one for the computer, one for the gauge, and one for the e-fan if equipped. oil pressure sensor or switch should also be on the pass side of the block. any competent repair shop should be able to adjust your odometer for a few bucks and give you the paper work to show it was done legally. :thumbsup: also, you might want to break up the individual questions into separate threads. :thumbsup:
  15. probably not. high idles are usually indicative of a vacuum leak, a bad IAC or a bad TPS.
  16. yes, the IAC controls the idle speed. have you tried cleaning it?
  17. go get a brass punch. also, you can try putting a WD-40 straw on a can of PBBlaster and see if you can spray any of it up in the hole.
  18. nothing wrong with a solid 2wd. all the 4wd stuff bolts right in. :thumbsup:
  19. mine has these. :hmm:
  20. what does the drivers side look like?
  21. awesome :cheers:
  22. I believe it's on the axle tube to the drivers side of the diff.
  23. Judge agreed with us that my parking area next to my house isn't the "street", neither are the trucks "in storage". :banana: best part of the trial outcome is the storage aspect. If my trucks (who I won't argue were unmoved for a month) aren't "in storage", the NONE of the other cars/trucks that the people of this city may happen to leave parked in front of their house on the street for longer than 48 hrs are in violation of that law. I CANNOT WAIT TO SPREAD THE WORD. :D
  24. got a muffler for the 86 that actually muffles. :D I promise, it's only temporary.
  25. should be on the drivers side of the diff housing
