nice! I'd for sure go back for the steering wheel, but then I like to hang rare things on my walls.

what you need is a 3rd, newer Jeep. and then never drive it.

shock mounts will be needed. and if you are avoiding anything hanging low, that might limit the amount of droop you can achieve.

I would pull down on the exhaust and see if it hits the crossmember

was the different booster new? "pedal to the floor when running" is going to be a bad booster or master. not much else in the system.

that truck is insanely good lookin'!

the liberty 8.8 is very common in yards and a bit wider than stock so as to better accommodate the MJ's wide butt. if you want to run 37s on a 3" lift, why not just get a 3" lift? an SOA is never going to be 3" unless the leafs are a negative arch.

sure comes in handy when you build a Jeep for your little nephews

when that happened to me, it was a bad booster.

I doubt those are free, it just has a generic $0 price listed

you're going to need a patch from an XJ if it goes forward of the replacement parts. at some point you might be better off buying used rockers from a clean truck and seeing if they can cut more for the front bit.

for a 4.0L you need to let the axle droop as much as possible. you might even need to pop off the track bar or sway links to get that extra last couple inches. be careful that the oil pump and pickup tube are in there and can get bumped during removal if you force it to hard.

bigger is better

if in the future you ever find one in your size, sell this one off.

if it's a direct replacement, try and find the page from the shop manual that shows the spot welds and get to drilling.

is the new piece attached via spot welds? is it the exact same as the bad piece?

'tis a good question. I've never seen one activate before.

missing the feathers but has the little Comanche pin https://www.ebay.com/itm/405189501722

they can be a serious pain to bleed. I wonder if a vacuum bleeder would work better?

I'm 1000% certain that this one is in place properly. we'll see tomorrow. need to buy some oil.

but still can't find the missing piece of gasket at the back of the block...

so the engine lopes and struggles to maintain a proper idle. if I pull the spark plugs off of #s 4 or 5, there's no change in sound or rpm. but there's definitely a spark, I can feel a click from the fuel injector, and the injectors ohm out at 14ish. the injectors are new 4-holes. can they be bad even though they indicate to be good? I guess after dinner I'll start the process of pulling the rail and swapping in 2 of the old injectors just to see if there's a change. or maybe tomorrow if the mosquitos are bad.

I've overheated my 88 to the nth degree more than once. still works ok.

dumped in a booster and a couple gallons of fresh gas. after a bit of the normal struggling (I'm assuming this was burning off the gas in the line), it no longer stalls out, but still lopes. I'll just start a new thread about the idle.
