I picked up my set of WJ arms for like $20 and installed them myself. not too bad of a job if you have the right tools. 31" MTRs on a stock height MJ

what trans do you have? 4speed, 5speed or auto? What size tires? Did you change the fuel filter? Another contributor to sluggishness is a plugged up catalytic converter.

checked the floors yet? any leaks from the clutch master cylinder? how old are the battery cables? checked and cleaned all the grounds yet?

"Renix" is the name of the ignition system on 86-90 MJs. in 91 they got a whole new system which is generally referred to as the "Chysler" or "H.O." systems. If I remember right, the name is a combination of Bendix and Renault.

I trimmed the control arms and the axle brackets just a bit and it all fits great. :thumbsup: pics near the bottom of the page. viewtopic.php?f=7&t=1556

keep an eye on all local craigslists. I recommend one of those mass craigslist websites that lets you search multiple craigslist areas at the same time. (I use crazedlist.org, but there are others) make sure you add in all the typical misspellings too. 2 'm's, 2 'e's, etc.

The Dana 30 is actually a fairly stout little axle. upgrade the shafts/U-joints (and I would add in a small truss) and guys regularly run 33 or even 35 inch tires. :thumbsup:

they don't really mean anything in particular. Just corporate designations for the various models. :thumbsup:

why are you pulling it apart?

close but not quite. I retrofitted a late model t-case to use the early model speedo cable in my 90. My 88 (the wheelin truck) still only has the Tach for gauging its speed. :D Using a 94 cluster in an 88 truck is next to impossible. the systems behind those needles are completely different. :( Or are you talking about putting just the speedo inside the old cluster?

looks like a brown with white tracer on the electrical diagram. :dunno:

check the connector in the wire harness located right behind the dr side rear tire. corrosion in it stole my brake lights in the 88. :(

it used to be a plain sheet of steel. :dunno: Down south or out west you can pick up a whole bedside for a couple hundred.

with a proper alignment and frequent rotations a quality mud tire should wear just fine. they just need a bit more attention. :thumbsup:

gotcha. :thumbsup: there are some small differences in 87, but I didn't think they'd be a deal killer for ya. :D

Not a big fan of fine art? :dunno:

all-terrains and mud don't mix well. :thumbsup:

I thought his was a dr side too.

you do know you own the second NOS bedside I've ever heard of since these trucks were still under warranty, right? :D

So would I. :D so I can keep it from becoming just another bedside on a truck. :no: of course, I'd need money to do that, so I'll just file it under 'f' for fantasy garage decor. :(

no love for the 87s? :(

someone a while back came up with a triangulated upper that was only like half an upper.

got the new-to-me exhaust "installed" on the 90. :banana: then puttered it out of the garage and back to its parking spot across the street. hopefully I'll have some photos for y'all tomorrow when the sun pops back up. :thumbsup:

hopefully it'll get you out of the hole you fell in before the cops show up. :D

found a way to work around the gas tank?
