  1. which is what much of comedy seems to rely on, generalities and stereotypes. Try not to read too much into it. :thumbsup:
  2. tried car-part.com yet?
  3. You've got an MJ axle under the MJ right now, yes?
  4. I think it's 42" center to center.
  5. No cost to buy does not necessarily mean no cost to get running.
  6. doesn't matter if it's SOA. the XJ perches are in the wrong spot for an MJ. I'd be very leery about purchasing it.
  7. I wouldn't bet much money on that. I'm guessing 3.31 or 3.73 (looked it up on car-part.com)
  8. dunno for sure. The rules-of-thumb weren't as reliable for the early years.
  9. 84-85 2.5Ls had the carb
  10. only to get the bigger U-joints that come with the later year axleshafts. The shaft itself won't really be that much stronger than just sliding the locking collar over permanently.
  11. SOA is only cheap in the rear. Balancing that out with 6" up front is expensive. Is there something wrong with a good 3" lift and 31" tires? You know for sure the gears are 3.55, yes?
  12. tru dat. It goes double for one that has prior failures.
  13. how much lift? how big of tires? what engine/trans do you have? I'm sure there are plenty of guys that would trade their bench for your buckets. :D where are you? Make sure you get a bench that has headrests. The early years did not have them.
  14. yup, as Geo said, only the front driveshaft is affected. the front axle shafts spin regardless. Locking it up just makes it like any other Jeep since 93ish.
  15. try a rebuilt injector on that 2.5. Other guys have found it to be a world of difference.
  16. I don't trust reworked Dana 35s. The housing just isn't very strong. :(
  17. And bench seat floor brackets. ...which are the same thing. :D
  18. Breaker bar or impact gun? Oh, and if I remember right, you can see the bolts from under the truck and hit them with PB Blaster.
  19. yeah, i'd probably start by asking at the local parts store if they know of a place that does custom lines. I doubt throwing in another 20 year old hose would be wise.
  20. fusible link?
  21. the 2.8 has a carb and the auto trans attached to it is a 3-speed.
  22. Looks good! :thumbsup: I hope rocker guards are in your truck's future. :D
  23. Weird. I would probably start with vacuum leak hunting.
