did updating tapatalk work for you? we just had a string of updates here at the forum but nothing that "should" have affected that.

not asking for much. just a few pics and a list of what's cool about the truck.

that's actually low mileage for the 2.5L

oh, that's even better!

or... now hear me out... you wrap a ton of teflon tape around the appropriate bolt and drive it in there and pretend you never had an oil pressure gauge in the first place.

what's the end goal for the truck? also, be sure to put the truck's specs into your signature.

that's a heck of a build ya got there! should be spectacular when it's done.

wow, that does look nice!

yup, must be south of the equator which means it's right side up

we're looking for any and all literature referencing the MJ! Got an old magazine article? dealership brochure? scan or snap a decent pic and bring it here! But because our software shrinks it down and that might make some articles hard to read, if you could send a fullsize copy to comancheclub@hotmail.com that'll give us a big file size to play with later in a larger format. I'll start with my south american dealership fold out brochure/poster: cover: specs side: poster side:

now that we can save photos ourselves we should definitely have a thread dedicated to literature!

I'm happy to send you more as you need them. I've got a bunch.

haha, that implies that you wouldn't be dumping money into that one. It's an old Jeep, they all need all the money.

it's to keep the class competitive. I imagine they feel the longer wheelbase gives too much advantage. I see they also limit the amount of wheeltravel for the shortwheelbase MJs.

yes. if you have idiot lights, then you'll need to swap out the oil pressure and temp switches for the appropriate sensors. be very very careful removing the oil pressure switch. they like to snap off at the block.

the CC software can host you pics for you. just drag them right off your computer into your text box. (or click on the load button if it's on a phone) also, start yourself a build thread so we can see all the details!

love it just watch out for trees!

it's exactly as hard as stripping a truck down to the bare bones steel, then doing the same to an XJ,) and then reassembling it all into 1 awesome rig. for what it's worth, the 2.5 is a fine little engine. it just need the proper gearing to match the tires you want to run. a 4wd swap is much easier than a full on engine change.

a-yup. it's designed that bad air from the crankcase gets sucked out the little line and fresh air goes in through the big. it was not designed to have air flowing out the big line and so it can easily push oil out with it.

love it! that's how mine went in, between the tow hook bolts on the KJ. does it alternate the strobe patterns automatically or can you choose one?

I'd love to help, but have never removed a bed. but I have read that the spacers were used to align the bed lines to the cab. chances are good that yours may not match the specific locations of someone else's. you may need to guess and try.

can you put together a writeup for the DIY forum?
