I run firefox and I manual approve/deny all cookies. Haven't had any issues since running explorer years ago. :dunno: I am playing around with a script-blocker, though it's mostly for fun rather than being worried about anything.

I squirted some silicone along in the gasket to help it keep its shape.

I don't remember, but any pics of the thunderchief? Hands down THE COOLEST, MOST B-A comanche ever. Rob L. Nope. I wasn't allowed to take any pictures in the storage buildings. :(

Chrysler museum. For such a short run production vehicle, they've got at least 5 MJs. (not all on display though) 2 stock, 1 scca, 1 land speed and the Thunderchief

I had water rushing in past the rear seal on the hood (which trickled down and found its way past the firewall following some wires).

Aluminum may not "rust" per se, but it will corrode to dust all the same. :thumbsup:

Oh, I thought you were talking about the 8.8 shafts. :doh: I think the rule of thumb for the bigger Dana 30 U-joints is ABS and/or 96+ :thumbsup:

All explorer axleshafts are the same strength. Other Ford products have the lesser versions (like rangers and Aerostars) 95+ have the disk brakes. :thumbsup: ABS doesn't matter for our trucks. You just snip the wires to the sensor if it's there.

:D Ok, so that probably doesn't count. Chief ftw. With the hood stripes of course. :D

don't forget to use anti-seize on the bolts. :thumbsup:

That might have more to do with the fact that they are being bolted to a truck bed. Not exactly the sort of base I would suggest for the huge force that the crane will effect on it.

Whichever one you can find with a better gear ratio in it. Then get a front to match. :thumbsup: And upgrade those front shafts if you haven't yet.

Due to geometry, the truck will drop half the distance. :thumbsup:

Also, 2-door XJ seats will tilt forward, 4-door XJ seats do not.

Yup, that's a plain ol' MJ pack. Nothing added. :thumbsup: I too would go with doubling up the main leaf.

I've doubled up the main leaf in 2 MJs so far and I like it. :thumbsup: Unfortunately I've got no measurements that could directly compare before and after heights or spring rates. :dunno:

I have a feeling he might not be a "morning person". :D

non-metric ton MJs have three main leafs and one thick overload. How many leafs do you have? You should get an inch from adding in another main leaf under your current one. As an added benefit it'll help combat springwrap. I'm guessign that an S-10 or Explorer main leaf would accomplish the same. But without a pic of your leafs, it's hard to say.

We're due for an update to 3.0.5 so we'll see what happens. :dunno: I've had similar experiences too, but not on this site.

Do you have the factory overload leaf too?

Where is the AAL in the pack?

Can we see a pic of what leafs you have now? how many leafs? Are all the ends equally spaced and similarly shaped?

Not sure where he's from, but I've yet to own an MJ up here in Michigan that had a bumper I would trust the for anything. Rust will eat them from the inside out (and they are just sheetmetal after all). :(

I used bailing wire to just strap the arm to itself. The important thing (assuming your valve still functions) is to have the arm about parallel with the ground.

It's a useful tool to have. :thumbsup:
