Be prepared for flare rub.

I've had a multitude of different configurations in my MJs and the best was a 4way amp feeding 5 1/4" components in the doors and a high quality 10" sub behind the seat. I used to have 4x6s and then 6x9s in the rear corners, but once I added a subwoofer to the mix, the rear corner speakers were essentially worthless. higher frequencies were always muffled by the seat, low frequencies sucked and were drowned out by the sub. So I eliminated the sub's amp and the rear corner speakers and the sound was incredible with minimal space-eating parts. :D here you can see the tweeter location:

LP on the left, HP on the right

Be careful with volunteering to pull people out of ditches. In Michigan, it's illegal to do so unless you're a licensed towtruck driver.

have you double checked that ratio? the 4speed trans generally came with 3.55 gears.

might be easier to just find an XJ with them and use your imagination. :D

Back to the topic at hand... no pictures of the trip yet? :dunno:

What trans?

i hear people say that to, simply not true in my personal usage. i get way better gas mileage in economy mode. rpm's kill gas mileage, bottom line. Not necessarily. Fast acceleration kills mpgs. 80 mph kills mpgs. rpms are generally associated with these 2 circumstances, but are not the bad guys unto themselves.

I think the guy making bedsides has floorpans too. viewtopic.php?f=2&t=21774

There should be a button on the camera that turns on the "macro" (commonly accompanied by a little image of a flower), which essentially means: focus on stuff that's close to the camera. Why they can't just say "close up" is beyond me. :dunno: My little Canon has one step further called the "magnifying glass" setting and will focus on things right up the the camera lens. :D

Got a new member request for the old yahoo site today and along with it came this text: My guess usign a free online translator is it's portuguese, but it still doesn't translate cleanly so I'm not sure what it really says. :dunno: Need to determine if this is a real person or a spam-bot.

Do you have a "macro" setting on your camera?

It'd be a lot of work, but I'd probably swap back to stock to see if anything changes. :(

For the price of locking hub conversion, you could buy a bunch of unit bearings. :D In my opinion there's nothing wrong with unit bearings, it's mostly just that the bearings in our trucks are 20 years old.

they look like this. They are my favorite Jeep rim ever. :D

spring rate and shock valving are huge contributors to ride quality too.

pull back the carpet edges and look for moisture/rust. Check for rust beginning on the lower edge of the door, the underside of the rockers, and up inside the bedsides.

You couldn't pay me to take an f150 with the 4.6L. :ack: My uncle had one and it couldn't get out of its own way. load it up with 1000 pounds of pavers and suddenly I'd rather have had my 86 MJ for that job.

brake lines look awfully straight in this photo. :(

If the shocks or brake lines are the limiting factor, that's bad. :(

If the shocks are bad, you should replace them regardless of this problem.

The way to get more flex is to find out what's limiting it. shocks? control arms? stiff coils?
