I've had it happen with water bottles, but only the factory-filled ones that are slightly under pressure.

I joined the 2 hoses together using a 1/4"-to-5/16" adapter compression fitting from the hardware store. This is not the best way and there is always the chance that the pressure inside can pop it off if you don't tighten it enough,. but I've had it like this for several years now and haven't had a lick of trouble.

I've not heard of this one. :hmm: Is it an upgrade?

I've experienced it with pop and water before. An easy way to tell when it's about to happen, is when you find a couple frozen, but not all of them, the remaining ones should do the instant freeze thing when you pop the top. :brows:

My Comanche will eventually have a Peterbilt emblem too (but for a slightly different reason). :D

An XJ shackle would drop it 1/2" and the shorter shackle would limit wheel travel somewhat.

I see the XJ has a cargo light. :brows:

It ran away from home and is on its way to Moab?

Haven't asked about them yet. The hats were proving to be the sticky wicket so I've been focusing on them..

I just sent an email to the hat supplier. Maybe a more direct approach will produce some leeway in their apparent rules. :dunno: I'm majorly bummed. It was such a nice cap. :(

D'oh! :roll: I fixed it

Aluminum! Ok, so that's not the best solution. :roll: But it works for me. :D

Well, I just found out they all have to be the same color. So unless everyone can agree on something (I'm thinking tan/khaki), the hunt continues. :(

How much lift did you get with them?

Looks like an ad for his business more than an ad for the Jeep. :nuts:

Actually, I'm not certain if the height you desire is possible without going to an inverted leaf. Some measurements should show if it is. And one more thought; don't fear going slightly higher in the rear than the front. In my opinion, a couple inches higher won't make the truck look funny, but if the rear is lower once you pile in the gear, it will look saggy.

A 90* shackle provides a good balance between droop and stuff. A 45* with shorter leafs would limit droop and a 45* with longer leafs would limit stuff. The 2wd leafs (with extra main) on my truck are very very flat. Any flatter and they might as well be inverted. Add an extra main leaf (maybe from an Explorer) and you should get your cargo capacity and your desired height. But I guess if you're looking for 4" of lift with the bed empty, this may not work perfect. It's hard to compromise between cargo capacity and flex.

You only need one person (doesn't matter who I guess) to step up and take down all the info and put it into an excel spreadsheet. Then that person would send the document to all parties going. That way no matter what happens, everyone will have everyone else's info.

Just PM me with an address and I'll send magnets and business cards for free. If you want a decal or sticker, check out the link in my signature. :cheers:

Keep in mind that there are "model" differences (like comparing an 88 MJ to an 88 XJ) but there are also "year" difference (ex: Renix-vs-H.O.) and drivetrain differences (ex: 2wd-vs-4wd or 4.0-vs-2.5/2.8). There are tons of subtle (and not so subtle) differences to keep track of.

Just a regular ol' switch in the cab. It pulls hot air out of the engine compartment and pushes it forwards, away from the cab. Works on the freeway too, as there isn't any "forced air induction" going on in that exact spot on the hood. In fact, when the fan is off, air still comes out of the hood (little puffs of blow-by smoke were wisping out from the hood). The fan was way too powerful for this particular application (it was just some random fan in the junkyard) so I toned it down using an old resistor pack from the interior blower of the truck. Careful about those resistor packs, as they get hot enough to catch paper towel on fire. Inside the cab the resistors are put directly into the air flow so I replicated that when I put them near my hood fan.

I had the darndest time getting them to stay put too. I "glued" them in with black silicone.

Get one with the big red guard that you flip up to access the switch. :D

I found my good ol' fashioned paper copy and it says that 27 means the "Injector output driver does not respond properly to the control signal". Or whatever that means. :hmm: If you can get it scanned with a DRBII tool, apparently it'll show which injector it is.
