I'm still keeping my pristine pair. :D cherokee lights work different.

the light is activated by a little vacuum switch. it's possible that it is simply stuck. and please see rule # 2. viewtopic.php?f=2&t=1239

Just shim the CAD over and be done with it. :thumbsup: It's free and takes maybe a half hour at the most. There are reasons why Jeep wiped that design from the face of the earth in the mid 90s.

You are not alone Tim. :D

rust free beds are available in junkyards down south and out west.

only if you're incredibly lucky and find one buried in the back rooms at an old dealership. :(

even worse. Disney World during Presidents day week. :wall: It's packed. :ack:

heading south to visit the mouse. should have internet, but my time will obviously be limited. Little bummed about the timing, since we finally got some decent snowfall at home, but I'll manage somehow. :D

Here ya go.

As a general rule of thumb for pavement, MTs look better, ATs drive better.

just remember to repair those brakes before driving it anywhere. :D

dunno. but I bet it's metric. :D

there you go. :thumbsup: back to the gears issue. I don't know where you're getting the 4.44s, but remember that used gears cannot be guaranteed to not hum when installed in a new axle.

what sort of prices are we talking about?

well, it would appear that the fuel tank in the 88 is toast due to rampant rust. that or someone stole the stale gas. :rotfl2: it'll be a moment or 2 before I can afford anything so I figure it's a good time to start dreaming. what would you do? the truck is definitely an offroad machine now, so I don't need a big tank. but a new tank/pump would bolt right in. I'd have to finagle a fuel cell somewhere. and it would take a bunch of new hoses and fittings and what-not. It'd be awesome if I could somehow use one of my military gas cans as my fuel cell. :D Thoughts?

or track down an external slave bellhousing and swap it in. :D

9mpg means something is wrong. even I got better than that. :D

what the backspacing on those cars' wheels? MJs have a ton of backspacing (5.25 inches) to accomodate those wide axles.

width is important. MJ's have pretty wide axles. Wider than even wide-track Jeep axles.

What is the width on those axles?
