yup. :cheers:

"structural" may be taking it a bit too far (it's not likely to save your noggin in a rollover), but it does indeed have an extra bracket that attaches the bar to the frame. :thumbsup: Very rare.

Thanks everybody for tha friendly welcome. Lookin foreward to meeting more MJ owners. don't guess this is tha right place to start a thread about my MJ so I'm gonna move to tha projects page. See ya there. Robert Just a quick explanation of the different forums: Tech: Questions from an owner asked to the club about a particular MJ tech issue they are having Projects: A place for owners to blog about their trucks and for the rest of the club to ask questions about that truck. The more photos, the better. :D We're suckers for MJ photos. Pub: just about anything that doesn't go in the other forums. This includes intro threads like this one, Tech questions that aren't about MJs, comments about the weather, etc. DIY forum: for specific step-by-step tech writeups that members have done Wheeling/meeting forums: A place to coordinate get-togethers.

Did you take the rollbar out? looks like the lights don't quite clear the cab.

Aside from it being a Ford? :D Looks pretty good. :thumbsup: How's the rust?

Would that have been allowed back in the day? Are today's rules different? Or is just a matter of different classes allowing different changes to be made?

Jeep used to carry a GL3 fluid specifically for the AX-15. They discontinued it and now say that 10w30 is what you should put in it. After all the problems early on, I gotta imagine they were careful about it. Also, for the short time I drove the 90, everything worked just fine. The shifting was much improved, but then the oil that came out was pretty nasty.

Yup, I concur. Yet Chrysler says that the engine oil is fine in this particular trans. I went with full synthetic 10w30 in my 90 AX-15.

Make sure you isolate and fix the water leak before putting down the carpet. :thumbsup:

It still looks that good. :D :peek:

Quick! run away while you have the chance! :D At the very least, I guess you'll have a bit more time for the MJ. :thumbsup: That's how my 88 got built.

Good point. My 88 is not routed in the stock fashion so I didn't realize that.

sure. :cheers: I'm listing this off the top of my head. The spreadsheet is on the other 'puter. :yes:

double flaring can be, well, a challenge. A quality flaring kit goes a loooong way to making them come out right, and the Autozone near me had some really cheap kits. It took some effort, but I was able to re-tube the entire 90 with it. The 88 I did back in the day and used the pre-fabbed lines. As long as you get the proper fittings, or can get adapters, it's pretty straight forward. Always get more length than you think you need, and always buy more lines than you need. You can always take them back.

Try to be nice guys. It wasn't his fault they gave it to him. Feel free to make fun of the committe all you want. :D I'm curious as to what he does with the money.

they aren't the only manufacturer using that design. Explorer 8.8s have the drum E-brake too.

plenty of big MJs out there, but I don't think they apply to the original post since they aren't members.

I'd find a 2.5/5spd XJ and swap over the trans/t-case/axles, then go have fun. :D

86 is a wild card. almost anything is possible.

That might refer to the source of the air flow. mine had an electric fan inside. heat should be from electricity

mine was basically a supped up hot air gun. doesn't cut, just melts.

takes some practice to get the hang of it. Work on some scraps first. :thumbsup:

I had one at a prior employment. it's kinda like tig welding. though I didn't do any "finished" projects. mostly adding ribs to ari intakes.
