MiNi Beast

I assume you know, but I'm just making sure, the perches are also a different distance from each other in an MJ. Don't just weld the new ones directly below the old ones on the XJ axle. :thumbsup: What is the difference? I'm going to put my 8.8 out of the MJ under the XJ so I need to replace the perches. So would I have to cut off the pearches to fit the new ones or can leave them there?

:agree: Check hoses upper and lower for sure. The radiator may be pluged. I plug mine up by using those quick fix hole plug stoppers pellets. Yeah got new raditor for that one. But may not have burped it good enough too. Pull the temp sensor on top of engine and that should let the air out, if any. http://members.cox.net/wilsond/Fixes/di ... CPSdetails

Why not just upgrade to an AX-15 or something if it went out?

Got me an XJ just waiting to get rid of the MJ. Girl says only one build up at a time. BUt if I can't get rid of the MJ I guess I have to keep it. Oh well. ;) :brows:

What your looking at here is the bolts on the inside of the bell housing coming loose. This allows the tranny to pull out of the engine and do something very bad if going down the highway. And I must drive this one last time to buddies who live 45mins away, so I can start to tear her down.

I did too, sorry. :cry:

what do you have that on No just ordered it for the MJ but going to put it on the XJ now. Kinda last min swap here.

Yeah gotta switch to xj for family sake. Can't wheel without my kids. The MJ was good for me and my 4yr old but now have a 5month old and can't take her in the truck, so got to switch being I can only afford or "only allowed by the women" to build up, one project. So gots too. But I will not stray far from my plans for stock to beast. And I will have an MJ again. Once the XJ is done.

Yeah through Motionoffroad I went. Only $75 bucks I guess right. :roll: Oh well I'll still enjoy it.

His drive shaft should work. Should bolt right up.The spline count is the same. Tranny measurments are nearly the same no big deal.

to put some salt on the wound; I'm gettting mine for $400 when i finally come up with the cash!! :D :D How? WTF? just paid 590$ shipped. Someone fill me in please :mad: :popcorn:

hey how you get the RK 3 LINK shipped for only $525??? :eek:

sits in out box untill the person reads it. :D

If one side pops up then pull up on it and reach under the hood and grab the wire-cross release and pull it towards the driver side and then it should release, mine did the same. Then add some W-D. Engine how good of shape does it look? And if it's your friend maybe be able to work something out like 250 until you get it figured out. If need to rebuild then you don't pay him anything else, if fixable for decent amount then split your cost in half and minus it from the rest of the 250 and give him the remaining amount of the 250 of the whole total of 500. You dig :brows:

Some moron before me pulled the tanks and to clean it I guess cut the top of the gas tank off then did welded it back together. Little did I know this but the pump kept burning out, So said screw it, thats when I finally pulled the tank, to make sure it wasn't rusty on inside as someone suggested. So bam I instantly saw the problem, one hell of shizty weld job, I can't weld but I could have done better with JBweld, So anyways went to rinse her out and found nice 7 holes throughout the weld lines. Yeah so rinsed everything out in a big storage bucket to find I had two handfuls of sand in the tank. :mad: So didn't have the $175 TO BUY a tank so rinsed it out real good, put a tube of seal all over and around the seams, let dry then a can of rubberized undercoating over the whole tank. Beautiful fixed never had a problem for about a year. Then was picking engine up from a old MJ guy and he had a brand new tank said only $50, so I got yeah. But the sending unit in it was rusty so hole came tough to spit gas, so have seal all and JB weld on that holding it till Spring to change it out. And the CPS retards the engine thingy and makes it fire when the gas is shot in, very important, been dealing with it for the last couple months to finnaly have it fixed. CHECK IT! CHECK IT!

JK. Changed first two out no problem too, but the third was a pain so just puled tank to do it and that way I could inspect the tank inside and out before new pump went in. And found it to be less stressful then putting a kink in my neck. But its one thing if you got good amount of gas in it.

Right but do you have spark tough? You must check the easy stuff before tearing things apart. Check spark if you have that then check fuel. Ok pull the Fuel filter line and try staring get any gas, no then replace the damn pump. :headpop: I hate changing the fuel pumps, better to pull tank trust me, Changed mine out six times before changing the gas tank out with new pump/unit.

I agree. I checked the fuel pressure at the fuel rail, and there is none; it just drips out. I haven't checked the CPS yet.....how do I go about doin this? Pretty much first check to see if it's tightly screwed to the bellhousing then unscrew it and check with a good one, there is a way to check it but I've never relied on that, I always just bought a new one for thirty dollars. The CPS is worth more to just trough money at even if it's still good,you can always use a new one and an extra one at that, as well as it's a cheaper part. But like I said check those other thing under the hood first. Perferbly the resistor. My proplem ended up being that resistor, after I had replaced the CPS, but I didn't tear into that fuel pump like some thought it was. You seem to get gas just not all the time, so got to follow the system to elimanate problems.

FRESH INSTALL!!!

renix 4.0/ba10. It was running and starting just fine. Only thing out of the ordinary was that I was down at work to pick up my toolbox to bring home, so the truck was saggin back pretty well. Even though I had over 1/4 tank, I put 5 more gallons in just to make sure that wasn't the problem. It doesn't start at all, it had been starting just fine, then all of a sudden, nothing. The fuel filter was changed 150 miles ago, and I don't get much fuel pressure at all at the shraeder valve. Thanks for the heads up on that Duner, I'm gonna get the pump from the distributor at cost. Thanks for the help, Matt Assuming she is cranking and not just starting, have you checked the fuel rail when was running to see if gas shoots out> Check your CPS just in case, had that be the problem before. Check resistor on the fender wall. Just check everything before go tearing apart the tank and putting out $ for something your not totally sure about. As better to take extra time to check those little simple things then wasting money fixing something that doesn't need it.

Can't you just do a system restore to the point of time when you did this hacking BS?

thanks for the tip it's lots faster. Very nice.

yeah what JeepcoMJ had said what you working with? Motor? Tranny? Anything out of the ordinary leading up to this? And you said it started then just died? So it sometimes runs then like stalls out and can't start? Have you checked fuel filter and have you checked the fuel pressure?

No that shouldn't make a difference your just holding more fuel is all. But if you didn't change the pump filter that could have cloged it and burned it out. But do you hear the fuel pump at all when you turn the key on? If not and you got power to tank maybe wiring came loose on the inside. And how did she sound before it went out? Or did it just not work at all instantly?

Alright got new digital camera today so got some pics of MiNi Beast on the new rims an 33x9.50. And the RK 3link LA is on the way. Order the kit today from motionoffroad. Great Guys there.
