I currently do, yes.

:rotfl2: sounds like something my mom would do. :D

5 of us in there now. :cheers:

some nights just don't pan out well. :dunno: Where you at Rob? :D

I'm confused. :hmm: all 4.0Ls are MPI.

So, if I swap a '89 XJ 4.0 with my '87 MJ 4.0 I need to use the CPS for the '89? No wonder it ran so bad.... in addition to the exhaust leaks... End Hijack! 87-90 will use the same CPS. 91+ have a different one.

the little device on your throttle body that controls the idle. (called the idle stepper motor in the FSM)

the idle air controller?

cleaned out the IAC yet?

the 2.8L carb also has a screw. Don't know about the renix though. Anyone else have any less-than-helpful input? :D

where did you read this? i thought there were changes in 91.

Major bummer! :( But it would appear you're in good spirits at least. :thumbsup: Good luck to you. The prostheses we've got these days are amazing. I bet you'll be driving a stick again in a couple years. :D

your drivetrain needs the extra leverage on those bigger tires. It's like having a too-short handle on your ratchet. It's harder to turn that socket. Whip out the breaker bar with the pipe extension and it's much easier to turn. Having gears not matched to your bigger tires is actually harder on your drivetrain (especially with regard to auto transmission fluid temps and manual trans clutches)

Sometimes the build sheet is behind the door panel, sometimes it's shoved into the underside of the seat. Usually it's looooong gone.

nope. Go buy a complete donor XJ (that's in the best running shape you can afford). Gears are a better solution to power problems.

To do the whole HO swap, you need to swap the entire wire harness out of the donor XJ, dash and all. what size tires do you have? What gears?

I don't think so. :hmm: But the front end swap is almost passe these days. Plenty of them in the projects swap. Even mine: :D that's as far as it got. I just strapped it to the front with bailing wire. :laughin: I'm still looking for a pic of that red truck with the rear XJ lights. :typing:

engine power will seek out the path of least resistance, in this case, the tire with the least traction.

Why 93? 87-90 are the Renix years. Pretty much and HO 4.0 shortblock after that will need about the same amount of work to adapt.

where are you located? This auction company in Colorado sometimes has wrecked CRDs. There are likely other similar companies across the country. klode.com

In the offroading world, the open diff is usually preferred over the posi. "Why", you ask? Because now you can buy a "lunchbox" locker and install it in place of the spider gears. :D They are 2-3 hundred bux and a couple hours of your time. Look into the Aussie locker. They are the newest and arguably the best of the cheapie lockers.

The front facelift has been done a lot. The interior much less, but still has happened. The rear lights, well, it has been done, but probably only a couple times.

If I remember right, it should be a sticker on the drivers door somewhere.

thinking that they may have more MJs there? :D I know they'll be rust free. MJ 86 came from OK.
