not even close. sorry. :(

do you like your fenders?

x3 now I'm working on finding a cheap enough dvd RW drive for the desktop. :D what I have now only plays CDs. :fs1:

5 hours at the starting line area and you survived!?!? :bowdown:

Yea, the old timers at my work (no offense, Pete!) tell me that same thing all the time. no offense taken. :D I'm merely too broke to upgrade. :(

my phone makes phone calls.

bring tons of water, sunscreen and an umbrella. :D (and be prepared to point the umbrella towards the ground. :yes: )

SOA gives anywhere from 4.5" up to 6" depending on the state of your leafs. the AAL lift sounds like the XJ version of the lift. The MJ version is probably SOA or possibly full leafpacks.

good call. :thumbsup: AAL? that sounds like a whole lotta lift from an AAL. got a link?

or click on the image until it's the size you want, then right click on it, choose "copy image location", then paste that address here, then highlight the address and click on the IMG tag above the text box. once you get the hang of it, it's easy. :D should look something like this: Image Not Found

please tell me you at least got the "kit" with the drop brackets.

the fuel pump grounds at the same location and it's been known to hiccup when the brake lights are on. :thumbsup:

have you checked the big vacuum line going to the booster for leaks? have you cleaned the ground behind the taillight?

Jeep put 7 different amp ratings and a total of 10 different alternator part numbers into 1988 MJs alone.

look for vacuum leaks. :thumbsup:

did you leave a club card under the wiper? :brows:

it's a good engineering rule of thumb to assume that water will get everywhere and plan accordingly to deal with it. :thumbsup: plus that foam stuff attracts moisture and accelerates rot. :( ask my 88 about that. :fs1:

boy that brings back some memories. back in the days of the yahoo site, I would try to type every response in word because ya never knew when yahoo would eat your email. :(

take the elevator of course. :D

I guess sometimes a fishing trip turns into a whale watching trip. :yes:

try a long screwdriver. :thumbsup:

have you tried a mechanics stethoscope to narrow down the source of the noise? or the poor mans versions, a long screwdriver or a length of tube?

take careful note of the mounting hole locations of your alternator (i.e. what O'clock location the mounting tabs are at) before you go to the junkyard. or better yet, take the old alt with you. there are more than one type used in our old Jeeps.

drop brackets are exactly what they sound like. :thumbsup: they are brackets that drop down the mounting points of your control arms so that the arms are closer to parallel to the ground. the steeper the control arm angle, the harsher your ride will be. there are several companies that sell them.
