Chevy drop shackles are all over ebay. They give a small height bump. A couple of our members are using the 88-06 variety.

Colorado may have trails galore, but we might have to import some air. :D At that elevation, there just isn't much there.

I have one too and take it with me on trail runs. Ya never know when it'll come in handy to clean out a tire bead or brake drum. :D

I used WD-40 on the cables. Generally it seems that it's not the cable freezing in the tube, but the hinge mechanism gumming up. I would thoroughly clean it up and use a thicker lube like lithium grease on it.

I fear turning this into a tech discussion, but what's your caster set to?

I reset your password and used "comanche". try that and see if it works. :thumbsup:

they should be ok on a 2wd. problems only arise when the suspension is at full droop. sweet. I only need a pair at the moment, but if you both send some, I'll be sure to replace the ones on the 86 too. :D

I know there's a gap in the intake gasket on the drivers (?) side that is there to let heat escape from below. It wasn't a round hole though on the block I saw though.

do metrics have only fine and coarse? if so, they are fine. get the strongest ones you can find. Even if that means the dealership.

Compression numbers and oil pressure are about all I worry about in the block itself. If those are good, I keep it and work with the peripherals. If all the rockers are popping up and down without undue noise, then I consider the head to be good. These old engines are practically invincible. It's the 20 year old sensors, timing chain, etc that I focus on. You'd be amazed how many headaches a simple vacuum leak or bad ground can cause. Let's start with the basics. What seems to be the trouble with the truck?

from a wrangler? I guess in theory it will bolt up, but I don't think that trans has a spot for the CPS. also it's non-overdrive.

it's just like your radiator, there comes a time where it simply can't do it's job anymore. :(

if it's not frozen solid outside under the snow, you can flush out the core with a garden hose. Be sure to flush both ways.

I'll mail you some. :D spread the red cancer to your area. nah, I wouldn't do that. i wouldn't wish this crap on anyone. :(

not offhand. have you checked the bolt thread in the DIY forum?

I know. I just wanted to show an old photo of my 88. :D

it was there, but it wasn't anything like it is today. When I first started looking for MJs online, there was one. Ryeguy's MJ was about it.

30s fit just fine on my 2wd 88 (with alloy Jeep rims). no rubbing whatsoever. :D

not quite. Not much "internet" back in 97. a guy that went by the screen name of "Aslith" started the yahoo group in late 2000. I found the club in, I think 02 and he left and put me in charge of it maybe a year later.

I've never even heard of that problem. :hmm:

in 97 I needed some transportation fo rmy new commute. I wanted a truck, but I wanted a Jeep too. Then I found that Jeep made a truck. :banana: so I started looking for one, couldn't find a 4wd in my price range but found a 2wd with the important stuff (4.0, stick, A/C) and went up to see it. drove around the block a couple times and fell in love. :D

4wds are about an inch taller than 2wds.

seems to be 2 different ones over the years. some are metric, others are standard. :( I've yet to find what trucks had what. My 88 had metric.

Should be close enough. might need a small amount of trimming if anything. my 88's bed is pretty full. :D
