that only works if you know the name of the files... and they exist. turns out they didn't. I never had ai files for these particular images, but I was able to secure some better quality images from the old sticker company. props to them for holding on to them for so long. we'll see how well they work for the new guy soon. Moparbrown, feel free to try something with images in the first post. doesn't hurt to try, right?

nice work and an excellent writeup! are you going to do a separate DIY thread for that?

which engine? auto or manual? what year is your truck? there are a bunch of v8 writeups in the Epic Tech forum that you can peruse

you mean an avatar? are you on a phone or a 'puter?

just for the heck of it I looked it up in my 87-90 parts manual but it appears that the renix years didn't have that particular hole in the valve cover.

one of our members (krustyballer16) is working on production of a weld-on frame brace. it's still in the design stage though. His goal is for much better fitment than the aftermarket ones currently out there.

if you're ever bored one day, I'd love to see a build of the sammy. we have an "other projects" forum just for things like that.

good ol' stock SUVs it really doesn't take much at all to find the approach/breakover/departure angles

admittedly I've never owned a 2.5, but what exactly is the question? are we looking for a diameter of the hole? or a part number for what goes into it?

I suggest the one-piece rubber pan gasket and be very careful with the RMS. brass punches only! also a double lip RMS exists if you find that there is deep scaring in the crankshaft where the single rides.

are the Teraflex adjustable to tweak your alignment? what makes them special? I assume they'd be grease-able, which is nice but not a deal killer. If they are only a "heavy duty" option, I kinda agree with Darren. Balljoints just aren't a common failure point (and the couple I can think of were 30 year old originals). a good brand of stock ones should last a lifetime (unless you're jumping the truck, and even then the axle usually bends/breaks first). Moog/Dana would be my choices. to address your question, I believe that the not-knurled are the ones you'd want.

I've read positive things about it in other rigs. don't remember someone using it in an MJ yet.

holy crap those brackets are just... engineering art! look at all those clean bends!

update: I've found jpeg versions of the images. still hunting for the ai files. once I've got usable files I'll start a new poll to get a feel for how many of each I should order.

I love it! if the pics are large, try uploading just a couple at a time. and be sure to start a build thread!

are you using a phone or computer?

yeah, that would be a nice ride at a show.

make sure that when he's done the tire is centered in the wheelwell. and hang on to the old leafs. someone might have need of them.

got a pic of the damage?

I also have a canadian flag MJ.

at 10 posts the classifieds will open up to you.

you're going to love it MJs are a blast to drive around in the dirt!

any updates? how's the paint holding up?

I think I may have found the proper files. also, he charges per die, so it looks like I can get an assortment of colors for the same price since they are all essentially the same image to cut out.

interesting. even if you try and edit the first post?
