doesn't weigh any more than the previously mentioned fix. found this one for 8 bucks plus shipping: http://www.ebay.com/itm/Walker-Butt-Joi ... 5ae3231636

or you might be able to find a wide muffler clamp. it's a stainless band that does the job of the tube and the 2 regular clamps in a single unit. http://i01.i.aliimg.com/photo/v0/456835 ... clamps.jpg

crankshaft position sensor (CPS) will do just that.

all AX-4/AX-5s will have a 21 spline output. finding a 21 spline output 242 can be pretty difficult because they only came on 87-90ish XJs with select trac. You'll want to swap the shifter handles and shift towers between your AX-4 and the Wrangler trans. My guess is that they will swap directly, but don't know for sure.

I would slap in a main leaf from an SUA truck (cut off the eyes and add it in under the current main) and add in the longer shackle. Might even add in another leaf from that junkyard pack, depending on how sagging your packs are. I do believe that HellCreek makes an AAL that is essentially a main leaf minus the eyes. comes with new center pins and clamps. Be sure to closely inspect your old packs for broken leafs.

I am literally on my way out the door to grab a 2.25" ID adapter from Autozone. It's essentially just a short piece of tube. Be aware though, that they rust out pretty fast. stainless units and stainless clamps should be available on the internet.

specifically a 2.5L XJ. any year MJ/XJ/TJ 4wd 2.5L/5spd will work. double check the gears before buying, but most were 4.10.

I don't have an image of it, but I'm pretty sure it only hooks up one way. :dunno:

did you install the linkage bracket that attaches to the underside of the body?

so after all that, the throttle still sticks. grrr.... but the XJ the TB came from had cruise and the cruise cable bracket gave me a perfect spot for an additional spring and now it works fine. :D

try jacking up the front axle, turning the steering wheel, and then rotating the tire.

front axle ujoint?

excellent. :D then tomorrow I should be able to wrap up one more thing on the 90 and get that much closer to driving it. maybe 2 if I can borrow a corded drill (the battery on my cordless is preventing me from drilling where I need to) p.s. having a spare parts vehicle around is AWESOME!!! bought it for the engine, and so far it's given up brake parts, throttle parts, wiring parts, steering column, etc. (engine is still there though)

before I go bleed some more, will they interchange directly? (assuming I retain the 90's sensors)

the soft lines are interchangeable. :thumbsup: though I don't know what the sizes are.

If any of you have a lift on your truck, get YJ front lines, as they are longer than stock MJ units. :thumbsup:

rustys had some serious quality control and design issues early on. hopefully they've improved somewhat.

not without a lot of work. that era wrangler has leaf springs up front. (and only had the Dana 35 as a rear axle)

I emailed our resident phpbb guru and hopefully he'll see it and reply. :thumbsup:

progressive sound like the way to go. those weren't available when I got mine way back when.

too bad that's a cJ7 in the photos. :rotf: love that shot of the broken shock. :ack:

the poll feature is broken. :( what are the spring rates on them? I'd go with the lower rate.

Yeah but that's WAY to low. If I'm not wrong 28 psi is to low, I've always ran my truck tires at 35 psi :dunno: Also check into fox a bit more they can be had a few Penny's less then Bilsteins. Either way good luck :D Brandon um, 35 psi is used on cars and other modern lower profile tires, but taller tires generally don't need that much. :thumbsup: I got about 60k evenly-worn miles outta my 30" bfg ATs. and never was the pressure above 25 (and usually it was way less since the aluminum rims all leaked on me).

what's an AW5? did you mean AW4? AX-5? or (most likely) the AX-15?

I got my angle grinder from Harbor Freight for $10. :thumbsup:
