why are you removing the charcoal canister? all it does it absorb excess fumes from your gas tank and then allow the engine to burn them off?

looks like rob beat me to it. :D our forum software isn't the best and so sometimes people fall through the cracks. anyone that ever has issues with signing up needs only to let one of us know and we'll take care of it manually. :thumbsup:

:(

including the trackbar?

one of each. :D though my dd MJ isn't yet up to snuff.

Jim, when you cleaned up the connector, did you squirt in a bit of dielectric grease?

just send me a PM with your name/address. :thumbsup:

you need to have someone saw the wheel back and forth while you crawl under and watch/feel for sloppiness. :thumbsup: could be anything in the steering or trackbar.

new u-joints?

um, the pinion will raise slightly upon acceleration, not dip. :yes:

absolutely. :thumbsup: you've got one of the rare occasions where a drop pitman is necessary. a stock pitman from a TJ will give you 1" of drop.

seems like as good a reason as any to upgrade the whole rear. :yes:

they all should be avoided unless you really really need one. what are you running for lift/steering now?

I bet I've gotten 1500 miles out of the last tank of gas I dumped into the 88. course I towed it the majority of that distance. ha! :D

doesn't matter. :thumbsup:

good score man! :thumbsup:

sounds like it's time to contemplate a new pole barn/work shop. :brows:

mud in your carpet is just proof you use your jeep for its intended purpose. :D

um, ever hear of a floor mat? lol. I'm been in lots of mud. carpet is still as it was when I bought the truck (oily, stained and disgusting, but not muddy :D ) I haven't had mud flow into the truck though as some have.

:bowdown:

Why not? Brandon because it has no insulation in it. it'll be fuzzy on your feet, but there's nothing in it to keep heat at bay. the insulating padding under the stock Jeep carpet is the key. the thick rubber backing on the stock carpet also helps. your cheapest route might be to get a carpet from a junkyard MJ and power wash it at the carwash. then add in aftermarket insulation.

pretty sure indoor/outdoor carpet won't have the insulating properties you're looking for.

in my experience, replacing the radiator is never a bad thing. :thumbsup:
