  1. last time I put my 88 on a trailer I used only the starter motor to move it. bring a fresh battery and you might get lucky with its ability to move itself (very slowly). and welcome to the addiction.
  2. same here. I can't see the MJ goodness. what host are you using? is it facebook?
  3. perfectly normal. just the 4.0L venting off it's extra awesomeness.
  4. that 85 is such a step back in time! right outta the 80s!
  5. nice truck! be sure to start yourself a build thread on that beautiful survivor.
  6. I imagine youtube should have a couple vids on changing the older odos.
  7. the link in my sig should have a couple writeups on it.
  8. based on the pic (and not personal experience) it appears that the curved slider had shorter brackets underneath it and that would account for the extra height after dropping them on MJ floor brackets.
  9. you want to try and adapt a 2.8 v6 into your truck? wait, lemme rephrase that: you don't want to try and swap a 2.8 into your truck. any inline 4 2.5L block from any year XJ/MJ/TJ/YJ will work for you. no need to get drastic with the ancient engines when a late 90s will do fine.
  10. that is an odd reason to do an engine swap. how would you know that the replacement won't have some other even worse problem? where is the trans leaking from?
  11. tech questions from the OP should really go into the tech forum to get more eyes and also to be searchable in the future. but as for the brake lights: check the fuse check power going to the brake switch check power coming out of the brake switch when depressed. clean the ground behind the drivers side taillight and check that the bulbs are in fact double filament. and for the hazards, do your turn signals work? if so, swap the round clicker pot in the fuse box with the turn signal pot and see if they work again.
  12. where from specifically? have you eliminated the valve cover as the source?
  13. woo-hoo!
  14. neat stuff!
  15. I don't think that's an option with this software. but you can edit it as much as you like 'til it's perfect.
  16. looks like you found a solid li'l truck to build up. congrats!
  17. that would necessitate an entire drivetrain swap. I'm not sure if the OP is up for that level of effort.
  18. walked over and set the new (to me) throttle body and linkage on the hood. maybe later in the week I can actually replace the stuck parts and get her running again.
  19. I will keep an eye out.
  20. https://www.ebay.com/itm/4-NEW-OEM-MOPAR-JEEP-Wheel-Center-Hub-Cap-52000476-Cherokee-Comanche-Wrangler/253555262506?epid=1157961349&hash=item3b0912442a:g:WeoAAOSwjjtapULa&vxp=mtr
