Pure function. Pure beef. How can anyone not like the old military iron? :D

You should be able to right click on the photos (sfter clicking on them to make them fullsize of course) to get their address and then bring that here to post them up.

Top half of that side is completely missing on my 88. No disasters yet. I did my most redneck fix yet and squirted a whole mess of household silicone in there. Not that I thought it would help in any way, but I was bored and curious. :brows: A dangerous combination...

Which was moving, your head or the hook?

:rotfl2:

Truck looks GREAT to me. :dunno: But all MJs look great to me... :roll:

Yeah I do that alot too. 8) Me too. It's a shame what ends up in the yards sometimes.

Try right-clicking on the image and copying the image's address.

I'm just now walking out the door for a camping trip and won't be back 'til Saturday, so take your time. :D I figure a diagram might help everyone describe their thoughts better.

I was thinking more of diagrams with arrows and forces and such. :teehee:

:needpics:

advanceadapters.com too.

fixed it for ya. :D

Sheetmetal of some kind. Don't know if I'll use aluminum, galvanized or stainless, but I'm putting down something that won't ever rust again. :D Slight update: I have the front axle yanked out, but I leave for camp today, so no more progress until this weekend. :( I was able to pick up a set of Explorer leafs on Monday. :D

It's the limited surface area of the MJ radiator that causes all the cooling issues with v8 swaps. S-10s have more square inches. I'd recommend finding the best radiator possible that fits in the stock location (meaning a high quality 3-core). Of course, if you already have a 2-core, that I guess it won't cost anything to try it and see. :thumbsup:

:dunno: :D

I paid $30 to have my 2wd driveshaft shortened.

You'll need to move the perches of the XJ rear axle.

Not to long ago we had a discussion on towing with an MJ. Lots of good info there. http://comancheclub.com/forums/viewtopic.php?t=1546

The shortbed MJ has a whopping 12" more wheelbase than an XJ. A longbed only has 6" more than that. The departure angle is the real bummer for the LB, but it's helped by fabbing a better bumper that doesn't hang down so low. Rocker guards are very important for all MJs. The big choices to make are long or short bed, auto or manual, A/C or not and 4.0L or 2.5L. Those are the hardest swaps.

Soooo, what exactly is the definition of "ravid"? :dunno: :hmm: def: rab·id adj. 1. Of or affected by rabies. 2. Raging; uncontrollable: rabid thirst. 3. Extremely zealous or enthusiastic; fanatical: a rabid football fan. :thumbsup:

Passed out my first magnet yesterday. Guy at a rest area was having overheating issues with his 4banger. I tried to lend a hand but he seemed to have it under control. Then today I left a magnet in the glovebox of an MJ about to be for sale at the junkyard (whole, not for parts). I left my phone number with the guy if it does go for sale. :D

Let the truck sit for as long as possible before you pull the pan. And I'm talking a couple DAYS if you can. Even then, you'll still have drips coming down while you scrap away at the leftover gasket material. I also highly recommend the one-piece rubber gaskets. :D

Oh great, there goes our kid-friendly image... :roll:
