  1. you're running snow tires AND having issues? yeah, I guess that makes sense that a 2wd pickup would still need a bit of weight.
  2. I would drop 3-4 psi outta the tires and see what happens. I only run about 24 psi in my jeeps. plus it's free to try. :yes:
  3. How are those any better then a reg alt? Or even just a light truck tire? Brandon snow tires are in a league of their own. I mean the traction is phenomenal. makes snow seem like a light rain. last year I didn't know any better, but I was in desperate need of tires anyway so I figured what the heck, they were dirt cheap anyway. holy COW am I a believer now. My minivan was routinely out-performing 4x4s. best part is that they work great in rain, sun or snow. worst part is that you'll likely not see 20k miles out of them, so use them accordingly. here's an good example: I tried to go cheap last year and figured I only needed 2 tires since the van is front wheel drive. big mistake, as the regular all season tires (used but in good shape) I put on the back had a tendency of trying to break free in a turn on snow and swinging my butt around. the solution? I gunned the gas in a turn. the snow tires had so much traction they would pull the van out straight and keep everything in order. This year I'm going to be buying another pair of snow tires. :yes: or, if I can get my 90 MJ running reliably, I'll be buying 4 tires. I'm never going through another snowy winter without snow tires. :yes:

  5. the sway bar has nothing to do with how the truck handles bumps and it's removal can make turning into a hair raising experience. just out of curiosity, what's the air pressure in your tires?
  6. snow tires are infinitely better than weight. :D
  7. yup. it's simply on a timer. it's under the dash on the drivers side and is a clear plastic housing like 2x3 inches in size. just unplug it if you live in an area that doesn't require it to be functional. :thumbsup:
  8. 1.5-2" pucks and longer shackles is the cheapest way to bump it up a bit. :thumbsup: no, you won't have to alter the driveshafts.
  9. 1990 is too old to get codes at the local auto parts store.
  10. :cheers: thanks guys! :waving: all the more reason why this is your club. I am merely the caretaker. :D
  11. close. 95s exist, it's the 96 year that doesn't. :thumbsup:
  12. feel free to swing by and pick me up on your way east. :D
  13. per member?!?! ack. nah, that's for our registration and bandwidth for the entire site. :thumbsup:
  14. sorta. the frames are actually a bit different and it'll depend on how that crossmember is designed and attached. :( Should be adaptable if nothing else.
  15. whoops. should probably provide the paypal ID. :doh: --> comancheclub@hotmail.com also, I still have some of the logo dcals in other colors (leftovers from custom orders). forest green, sorta a caterpillar yellow, a lightish blue, and silver if anyone wants 'em. :thumbsup:
  16. I seem to get chewed out every time I don't tell you guys, so here's some advance warning: our annual site bill is on it's way. usually about a hundred bucks. plus I just bought another batch of the club cards. any and all help is always appreciated. :cheers:
  17. nothing MJ escapes this club. :D
  18. we have some stock driveshaft measurements in a thread in the DIY forum. :thumbsup: XJs have a foot less wheelbase than a shortbed MJ (add another 6" for a longbed) and so their rear shafts are too short to use as-is.
  19. too many injuries... :(
  20. :bowdown:
  21. it's everywhere man. :ack: even the plastic rusts here.
  22. :waving:
  23. angle grinder works great. it's hard to screw up. :thumbsup: just don't let the rubber bushing roast.
