If it's dripping anywhere on the fuse box, clean it up immediately! Brake fluid will destroy the fuse box. :(

I don't know about that. In week 4 I lost to a team that was minus a QB. :D

If you're paying to have gears set up, now's the time to contemplate upgrading your gear ratio. 3.07s suck. And I personally would just go get a junkyard axle from a newer cherokee with better gears than pay to fix an old Dana 30 like that. The last one I bought was $150 and it had 3.55 gears and didn't need a thing.

Any pictures? :dunno:

have you tried car-part.com yet?

Send any donation you'd like. I accept it all. :cheers: As to the decals, I'm in a holding pattern until I can either get the new artwork vectorized, or have the old vector image tweaked (which ever is cheaper). The sticker store's computer guy is on vacation so I'll find out more when he gets back. My apologies to all the guys waiting on stickers. :(

"Should"?

What gears are you running in the axles?

Maybe. I do know there's a cutoff where it becomes very hard to swap, but I think that comes later on, like in 97 or something.

I think OD is controlled by the little trans computer.

I got lots of funny looks as I was tooling down the freeway in the 88 on my way to and from Moab. Even still, nothing beats the faces of gas station attendants as they race out the door to try and warn me that I'm putting diesel in the Liberty. :yes:

I had an 85 1/2 Escort way back when. Last hurrah for the carbed engine. :D

Then the 87 isn't a 3-speed. It's a 4-speed AW-4. They are both AW-4s. And I do believe they are swappable, but I'm not much of an auto expert so wait until someone can give you confirmation on that. After the swap, be prepared to try and track down why overdrive wasn't working in the 87. I think overdrive is computer controlled so there may be a fuse blown or maybe the trans computer is fried. Or it might be a problem with the trans itself Once again, I'm out of my little bubble of knowledge so I'm not sure what you should check first.

What engines are in the 87 and 92?

Umm, those are stock upper and lower control arms. Might be a small lift, if that. There's a chance he might have just gotten aftermarket shocks. Personally, I'm not sure I'd even bother with any of it. The rear shocks won't even fit the MJ.

Upgrade to the later model XJ shafts that run the bigger joints. If you've got the cash, I'd go aftermarket shafts with CTM joints. And if I had a welder, I might even ad a bit of a truss to the axle. But I'd be doing that more for fun than because I was worried about it. Unless you like to jump the truck... :D

Not really. Not any that will match the rear axle without a ton of effort at least. Something wrong with your '30?

D'oh! :eek: Oh and : :needpics:

Vector! that's the one! They called it a vector file. Thanks Taz!

It's a file type that can supposedly be enlarged and shrunk without pixel-ating the image.

edit: AVI is the wrong one, the correct term is Vector. Thanks Taz! Turns out that the image form that the new decal image is in can't be modified directly and they would need to convert it to photoshop to make the minor changes I want, then convert it back and blah blah blah. But I don't want to pay them to do that. I think I'd rather go back and modify the original artwork myself (using microsoft paint) and then have it converted to Vector for use as our new logo decal. I just want to clean up some of the intersections and corners so it's easier to weed the decals (which I do myself to keep the costs down). The image as it stands right now was never intended to be a decal, just an image.

Front, probably. Rear probably not. But it all depends on what exactly it is. How much lift is it? Is it a complete kit? or just someone's hack job using just longer coils and a block spacer in the rear? Does it have longer lower control arms? Longer uppers? Does it have a full leaf pack? or just an AAL? Long AAL or short AAL? I would leave the short AAL behind. If it uses blocks to raise the rear, those are worthless on an MJ. And am I the only one that goes to the junkyard with a camera?

I'd do: -rocker guards -bumpers -underbelly skids -JK rubicon axles front and rear -stick with the 33" tire size -long arm lift kit in the 4.5-5.5" range

My opponent this week got 68 points out of his top 3 players. I got 68 points period. Last week your top 2 got more points than my bottom 7. I'm tellin' ya, it doesn't matter which guys I pick, or what teams they will be playing, there will be suckage. :roll: I just got the short straw at the beginning of the year (from injuries) and have a bunch of mediocrity left to choose from. Changing up my lineup so as to bet against the Lions is still fun though. :D I even have a new avatar:

Somebody trade me one of there super duper awesome players for a week, I want to test out the theory that being on my fantasy team ensures that they will become a crappy player. :brows:
