if you own a 31k MJ and modify the crap outta it, you no longer have a 31k MJ.

the key is to use lots of ambient light. no flash. using a tripod and the camera's timer would definitely help with eliminating any shakiness. :thumbsup: Use the Macro setting if the camera has one (helps with close up images). Remember that you can crop the images afterwords, but rotating is much harder.

can't spill propane. :D

we'll miss ya, but work is a good thing, yes?

the new paypal ID is: comancheclub@hotmail.com I'm getting an 86 Jeep/eagle accessories brochure and a FourWheeler article that was made into a brochure to hand out at dealerships. :thumbsup: when I get them, I'll have every MJ dealership brochure that I know of. :D I don't scan them anymore though. I've found that the digi camera produces a much better picture than my scanner. :dunno:

:cheers: thanks guys. All monies donated will go to fees, stickers, aka something ComancheClub related. I'm currently snagging a couple MJ brochures off of ebay. photos will be up as soon as I receive them. :thumbsup:

no photos? :(

very slowly. :thumbsup: tack it in place, let it cool. weld an inch, let it cool. weld another inch in a different spot, let it cool. etc.

yup, a 2" lift can be done with minimal parts and come out ok. brake lines, shocks, etc will still work fine. :thumbsup:

feel free to add some sort of truss. you can make the innards indestructible, but still lose parts to axle tube deflection. :(

also, be prepared for problems to pop up. lifting a rig changes the geometry of the suspension systems and worn parts or the wrong parts can cause vibrations or steering issues to raise their ugly head.

when it is finished, someone can plop it into excel and snap a screenshot of it. :dunno: but we still need more data. and clearing up discrepancies is key.

That's an incredibly bare boned 3 inch "kit". add to that longer lower control arms, longer track bar, longer brake lines, and longer sway bar links. AALs (add-a-leafs) will make the rear leafs stiffer. the longer versions are better than the shorter ones. whether or not that makes them "rough" is up to the driver.

I believe the external AX-15 arrived in mid-94

might have needed a rebalance on the driveshaft, or maybe the yoke had too much play in it. :dunno: hard to say. But I do know that an SYE will fix it, seeing as it replaces all the potential causes with brand new parts and proper geometry. :D expensive, but the proper fix for sure. :thumbsup:

hmmm. got a link to that review? I always thought that situation was caused by a spooled front. :dunno:

did you keep the old U-joints?

5 or 6 inches is probably too much for 31s. 4" is about as high as I'd go before it starts to look like the tires are too small. and if you're going with 33s, I gotta inquire into which axles you're going with, gear ratio, what type of wheeling you'll want to do, and how much city/highway driving the truck will see. Be prepared. you've opened a big ol' can of worms. :D

31s on Jeep rims has been done with great success. :thumbsup: WJ lower arms will alleviate any control arm rubbing.

:dunno: sorta but not really . . . Tis why i have a Gear man ;) works barter . . . He's an off road enthusiast I'm all about aggressive tires, i can find him more aggressive tire for less money its win win situation Mike gotcha. long as they are being installed properly. :thumbsup: I still can't condone spending that kind of dough on a Dana 35. Especially when there are 4.10 axles out there in the junkyards. Explorer 8.8s with disk brakes no less. I've never paid more than $150 for one, complete. Regardless, I would hesitate going above 4.10 without adding an overdrive trans. although, since you're going to a bigger tire, maybe 4.56 depending on how much freeway travel it sees.

not sure if I have the patience to convert everything to millimeters. :D

"Renix" is the term commonly given to the 90 and older XJ/MJ fuel injection systems. in 91 Chrysler put in their own system, commonly called the HO, even though the power wasn't all that outrageously improved.

been hard to find the time lately. for some reason chat seems to eat up my entire evening. :dunno: :D

No "sponsors". I don't mind if anyone cuts you guys a break, but I do not need those kinds of headaches. I'd rather stay broke. but if we can find another way, we'll look into it. :thumbsup: I don't know how to set up a "donation button" on this forum software :dunno: , but I figured out how to set up a new email account for donations. :typing: the paypal account is: comancheclub@hotmail.com and yes I'm proud that I figured that out all on my own. :clapping:

probably not. still a whole lotta wheelbase there. :D
