If only I had property of my own. I can see myself with a collection like that. :D

I PMed you the link I found but I figure I should add it to the general data base too. :D Maybe some of the pics will help out. http://www.driveev.com/jeepev/convpgs/motorclutch3.php

Also if the CPS is getting weak the engine will tend to crank a lot before firing. The computer won't fire till it gets a good signal about where the crankshaft is in its rotation. Long crank times (3-6 seconds) are fairly common with the older MJ/XJs. As long as it takes about the same time each time I tend not to worry too much about it.

Seek out a 4wd transmission. Better yet, get one that is still bolted to the t-case, then you know it'll work. :D

Yeah, that would look pretty darn cool with black backgrounds. :D

Got a 30 gal freshie here with an overhead filter/light. Nothing all that interesting these days just 3 silver colored tetras (although the old one is about twice the size he's supposed to be), a red tailed shark, algae eater, one regular catfish and an upsidedown catfish (who hides all the time in the tall stump you see in the pic). I've been meaning to buy a couple more. Maybe another catfish or something that grows a bit bigger than 4". My dream tank (when I get a place of my own to put it in) will be about 150 gal and will contain at least one small mouth bass . Haven't snapped a photo in a while, but here it is not long after I got it many-a-year ago. I like to make it look like a slice right out of a local pond. :D

I keep meaning to pick up some of that stuff. Put parts on? I thought the point of the game was to have the least amount of parts on. If it is, then I lost the game a looong time ago. :D

4wd Comanches are about 1" taller than 2wd Comanches so I'm guessing that the 4wd connecting rods are about an inch longer.

I bought a fixed output regulator online for like $25 or so. Don't remember the site though. Something about balloons and pop equipment. :dunno:

:bowdown: Yeah, that one would definitely be mounted on the garage wall. :D

If you're going to rip it out, you can either simply put a T-fitting in it's place or (and this is what I did) run a single line from the combo valve in the engine bay back to the rear axle. It should originate from the side port and then you plug the bottom one:

The ballast resistor was introduced in 88, I believe.

For those I'd just buy new. This all comes up because I found a decently priced set of 3.07 TJ axles and I was thinking of getting them for the unit-bearings and shafts out of the front and the brackets off the rear (and then part out or scrap the rest). I figure if the bearings match, then it's a good deal. If not, then I don't know...

The best I can do is go to Autozone and ask them to show me them both (which I may do tomorrow anyway). My axle is still intact and under the MJ. But even if they are different, there may be a chance that I could swap more parts than just the bearings and it would work. :dunno:

Not the differential bearings (don't need anything from there), I mean the unit-bearings on the ends. Turns out I can't see them today so I have a bit more time to find out. :cheers:

anyone know if a wheel-bearing from a TJ low-pinion Dana 30 will work on a 98 XJ hi-pinion Dana 30 (in my 90 MJ)? Autozone has them as different part numbers, but that by itself tends not to mean a whole lot in reality. Can I make it work if I have whole the TJ axle (-brakes)?

What? No story? I wanna know how you did it! And where are the pictures?! :brows:

That's the kicker right there. Those coils are designed to hold up a lot more weight than an MJ.

Maybe it's a wrong bulb in the socket? :dunno: They should have 2 filaments.

Not that I know of either. :dunno: Theoretically it could be in the records somewhere, but if so then that's in the files and I haven't a clue how to access that sort of thing. :hateputers:

I'm not supposed to be here. I should be halfway through Ohio by now. :(

I got it (that's right, I'm still here waiting for dad to get home from work :( ). I just can't do anything until I get the new decals and magnets in. But the PM is sent. :cheers:

I want to use the Renix stuff. :brows: It's simple, reliable, I already know it, and I have a ton of spares. Problem is the knock sensor (or lack-there-of) if I go with the later block. :(

My wheelers are on a strict no-carb diet. :D Beyond that, a stroker makes excellent power (250-300 ponies) while retaining just about everything that's currently on my 88. No expensive adapters to my AX-15, no expensive motor mounts, no custom exhaust, no custom anything. It bolts right in. It'll even retain the A/C (if I ever decide to track down that leak). I already have a donor 4.0 and a 258 but I need simplicity in this project or it'll never be finished and that's why I'm contemplating buying rather than building.

Well, it's days later and the guy still hasn't emailed me anything. :headpop: But I found another stroker for sale. About the same asking price, but this one is based on a H.O. engine. The first one comes with just about everything in the engine bay and the second is just a block and head. Don't know what to do, but at least I have choices. :D I've got until June 29th to do something. That's when my parents leave on their trip and that's when I plan to move the 88 into the garage to swap axles and a block (whether a stroker or the stock 4.0 in the garage).
