This likely won't help your immediate issue, but while we're on the subject, this is the procedure for adjusting the stock linkage.

Nah. They didn't give me enough warning to arrange my schedule. But after seeing how insanely hot it got friday, I don't feel too bad about it. 8) I saw the last couple parades anyway.

I believe he's talking about the metal retainers.

That is absolutely Slaughterhouse. :D Rick (xjs4ever) showed it to me the weekend after Moab. Definitely a fun trail. :D And while we're on a flex thread, here's Rick and the "Varmint" (which he has since sold unfortunately).

Nothing has ever surfaced to say there's more than one. I bet it's a one-off, just like most concept cars.

Most any rollbar out of a small pickup should work just fine. The aftermarket bars are made to bolt into multiple rigs. Factory MJ bars do not interchange between longbed and shortbed though, due to the rear bars bolting to the angled front of the wheelwells. Aftermarket bars usually bolt to the top of the wheelwell, or to the floor of the bed. Please don't think that any factory or aftermarket show bar will actually save you life in the event of a rollover.

I've always assumed it was grounded through its contact with the truck, rather than an actual wire.

I would call animal control. Where hopefully they will be captured and released somewhere out in the wild. Plus I wouldn't want to risk dead or stinky animals smelling up the place any more then necessary.

Yup, photos can be misleading. This first one may look like I'm traipsing through some pristine marshlands, but it's actually just the patch of muck between two farms. And it was an organized 4x4 event in the guy's backyard. see?

Please refer to rule #2. :D http://comancheclub.com/forums/viewtopic.php?t=1239 And as Motion said, the perches don't quite line up and will need to be moved. Aside from that, the axle itself is pretty much the same. Oh, and we have several members in Florida. 8)

The Penguins sure made a good series out of it, but... :D :banana: :banana: :banana: :banana: :banana: :banana: :banana: :banana: :banana:

Some parts are easy to find, some a bit harder. All depends. :D

Many of us have heard of it, but little is really known about it. :(

It's possible. Some guys have luck with simply unplugging the connector and cleaning up the contacts. Eagle knows it better, but there was an official "fix" for the weak CPS signal involving hard wiring the CPS directly to the computer, rather than letting it wind its way through the factory wire harness.

It'd be one heck of a cleanup though. :D Or no cleanup at all depending on how much you dump on the flames. :roll:

Accidentally? :hmm:

I bought a new radiator from a later model XJ (open system). But I didn't convert mine to open. I just added a radiator with a radiator cap in it. I skirted the e-fan issue by running power for it though a relay to a switch in the dash (actually, I think it's in the overhead switch panel). And every time I recommend the rad w/cap, I forget all about the loss of the e-fan switch in the old radiator. :roll: See the radiator cap?

A long start period is common for older Jeeps. The problem is usually an aging CPS (crankshaft position sensor). The CPS is situated above the flywheel and has a little magnet inside that jumps when certain teeth in the flywheel spin by. This tells the computer exactly where the engine is in its rotation. As the CPS ages (or the wires associated with it corrode), the signal gets weaker and it takes a few more rotation for the computer to be sure what's going on. Perfectly normal, but eventually the thing might stop altogether. Could be years from now. Could be next week. My 88 has been like that since I bought it 10 years ago.

To my knowledge, this forum software doesn't support that type of thing. It is free software though. :D I have a cardomain site in my signature that give out details. Same sort of thing I guess.

Welcome to the club! :cheers: Please don't rebuild a chevy 2.8L that came in a Jeep. There are more issues with it than meager displacement (tiny oil passages come to mind). A better choice would be to find a 3.1 or 3.4L from an early 90s Camaro of Firebird. Those engines are infinitely superior to the older blocks. :thumbsup:

As an experiment, try shifting it into 4-low before you park.

It's technically possible for a computer to go bad, but it's a rare event indeed.

Maybe if you started one up in the Pub... :brows:

I've seen that too. But I've also seen that when using google, so maybe our free forum software ain't all that bad. :roll: As long as it doesn't become a permanent glitch... :(
