Looking for driveshaft lengths of stock trucks
Pete M replied to Pete M's topic in MJ Tech: DIY Projects and Write-Ups
This better? I generalized the terms. lwb + 2.8 + auto + 4wd with d35 = 54.00" or with M20 = _____ lwb + 2.8 + stick + 4wd with d35 = _____ or with M20 = 53.75" lwb + 2.8 + stick + 2wd with d35 = 64.75" or with M20 = _____ lwb + 2.8 + auto + 2wd with d35 = 54.00" or with M20 = _____ lwb + 4.0 + auto + 4wd with d35= 49.00" or with d44 = 48.00" lwb + 4.0 + auto + 2wd with d35 = _____ or with d44 = _____ lwb + 4.0 + stick + 4wd with d35 = 50.00" or with d44 = 49.00" lwb + 4.0 + stick + 2wd with d35 = _____ or with d44 = _____ swb + 4.0 + auto + 4wd with d35 = 42.25" or with d44 = 41.25" swb + 4.0 + auto + 2wd with d35 = 53.125 or with d44 = 52.125" swb + 4.0 + stick + 4wd with d35 = 43.25" or with d44 = 42.25" swb + 4.0 + stick + 2wd with d35 = 53.125 or with d44 = 52.125" lwb + 2.5 + stick + 2wd with d35 = 64.75" or with d44 = 63.75" swb + 2.5 + stick + 2wd with d35 = 58.50" or with d44 = 57.50" lwb + 2.5 + stick + 4wd with d35 = _____ or with d44 = _____ swb + 2.5 + stick + 4wd with d35 = _____ or with d44 = _____ lwb + 2.5 + auto + 4wd with d35 = 54.00" or with M20 = _____ ax15-ba10/5 (same length) are 1" shorter than aw4 d44, chr8.25 have a 1" longer snout than d35 -
and in some Japanese makes too. though I'm not entirely sure of the differences.

performance parts ? they offer any ?
Pete M replied to AMC-MJ's topic in MJ Tech: Modification and Repairs
gotta ask before we get too deep into this. Do you know how to set up gears? -
amen. as long as I'm here, there will never be any sort of required monthly fees or dues. :thumbsup: That's why I keep the site costs as minimal as I can. I ain't running a business, I'm sharing a passion. Heck, if I had a job I'd be handing out decals for free. :D but ya got me thinkin'... if all 3000 members each gave me like 25 cents, maybe I could have rescued that 92 MJ i saw in Georgia last month and made it the "official club truck". :D that would have been sweet. :yes: fyi, that Imprezza site tried to set an ad cookie. :dunno: yet another thing you will NEVER see on this site. no ads. ever. and yes, I've had offers.

92 MJ, 13 months to make magic
Pete M replied to case5412's topic in Member Projects: Your Comanches
A common solution for the snapped fender flare studs is to remove the stud completely and replace with stainless steel bolts. :thumbsup: -
I don't seem to have a photo of it :hmm: but I removed that panel long ago and replaced it with a sheet of 3/4" plywood bolted to the cab and then a piece of speakerbox carpet glued over it Now the back wall is useful! I can hang fire extinguisher brackets and such instead of that crap rolling around on the floorl. :D here you can see the carpet and that I covered the plywood and then on up all the way to the window edge.

near the upper left corner you should see "Subscribe topic" and "bookmark topic". If you subscribe, it goes into your subscriptions folder and alerts you when anyone posts in the future. If you bookmark it, it goes into your bookmark folder and doesn't send a message. Both folders are found found by looking on the upper right corner and clicking on "user control panel". Then on the left side you should find "Manage subscriptions" and "Manage bookmarks". :thumbsup:

dang it, that was my baby wasn't it. :doh: I'll go wander over there right now. -
Welcome! :waving: photo tips can be found here: :thumbsup: viewtopic.php?f=6&t=11077

It's really not that buried. unless he's expecting to literally bring it out from it's parking spot like they did for the bonneville MJ. :dunno: somehow I doubt he'd go to that much trouble for us. :dunno: Tell him to yank the cover off and start snappin'. :D and like always, I'm totally willing to assist him in this endeavor. :brows:

I don't even need to be "drunk" to get a hangover. having 2 coors lites in an evening (I'm generally the DD) will cause me headache grief in the morning. Don't know what they put in it that I react to, but I'm glad I finally figured out the connection. (I don't even care for coors much, but a local bar has coors and labatts on tap for its "dollar beer night"). the list of things I'm allergic to includes the adhesive in Walgreens brand clear bandaids and antifreeze. :dunno:

like that'll ever happen. :rotfl2:

School me on truck boxes...
Pete M replied to ncgamedog's topic in MJ Tech: Modification and Repairs
I went with a large "SUV" type box (regular boxes wouldn't have fit with the rollbar). Works great for me. :D the store had a smaller one too that should tuck in nicely at the front of the bed and be below the top of the bedrails. -
ding-ding-ding! I went and bought one of the things myself cause they've proven to be so darn useful. :D You might learn a lot.

There's no need to pull the cover. just jack up one rear tire, put the trans in neutral, and rotate that tire around exactly twice. count the revolutions that the driveshaft makes and you'll have your answer. :thumbsup:

a block heater can be used whenever you like. :thumbsup: I don't think you can hurt anything with it. We've got one in the CRD Libby and we use it whenever the temps fall below freezing. She makes a horrible racket if we don't. :(
-
"fog" lighting should be mounted below the bumper. Since fog tends to hover a foot above the ground, the goal is to get the light to shine under the fog (while at the same time turning the headlights off so you aren't blinded by their reflection in the fog). If your foglights are the same height as the headlights, then you may nott see a huge improvement. :dunno:

I've noticed that heavy trucks can make even poor tires look good in the winter. My TSLs are the like the opposite of snow tires. I've owned worse though. Those Skorchers weren't fooling anyone. :D
-
as far as I know, the only way to get 3" of lift is with aftermarket parts. Just about everything else in the world has less arch in the leafs. Do you have a short AAL or long AAL?
-
SXs. mine are absolutely deadly on frozen pavement. :dunno:
-
Your's isn't stock though, which is why I was asking. The stock ride in a (non-MT) MJ is pretty nice. cheap shocks can kill that ride though.
-
the cab and frame are one unit. the bed is bolted directly to the frame. far as I know there are not wires to connect grounds between those items. Curious that you had a ground by the fuel pump. I added one in that spot on my 88 after I learned that my fuel pump was sucking its ground from that connection behind the tail light. :hmm:
-
TSLs are not very road friendly. I don't buy new tires anymore for anything so I've developed an immunity to sticker-shock. :D They are all overpriced. Last set of 4 tires I bought were for the Liberty and they were like-new and cost me a little over 250, mounted and balanced. New they were like 150 per tire. Found a matching 5th with 75% tread for under 50 bucks a bit later. Sold the old unused spare for almost $50 too. time before that I got 2 brand new front tires for the Dakota with the R/T rims for all of $100 off ebay (got lucky and they were only an hour away). Used tires are da bomb as long as you're patient when looking, and thoroughly inspect before handing over cash. Also walmart is pretty cheap mounting/balancing. :thumbsup:
