I want to put a soft cover on my MJ long box. Is there any cross reference from like a ranger or something that works? Thanks in advance

I went out and pulled the distributor cap and have about 3/8 of an inch of a turn in the crank before the distributor turns. I am told I shoudnt be too concerned unless I have about 3/4" I checked out a 2006 4.0l that we use for mock up here and it has just a little less. and it had 17k when pulled. So I am thinking that is good. I did find that it is missing the vacuum canister that should be behind the front bumper. The lines are plugged and are not leaking. Should this case anything like this. I thought it was there primarily for heater controls?

That is true. That CJ8 has our tailights on it. Basically Ian called and asked if he could have a set for the build. And to make good on the last time we gave him tailights he said on the show they were from Off Road Unlimited. Does Zero for my business if he can't get the name right. When it comes to Rusty like what was said. Its bottom end components. I have been replacing his parts for years when someone goes the cheap way out. The whole industry works the same way. you get what you pay for in most instances.

The J10 is my bosses truck. Its a 72 short box, TBI 350, 700r4, 4.10 gears. Its a fun truck to drive.

Thanks for the replies. I have a few things to look at during my lunch hour today. I does this primarily when you put the engine under load. I can make it do it by turning the idle way down but as soon as you move it as in let out the clutch and push it back in after being under load is when it will happen every time. There is no catalytic converter on it at the moment. PO took it off and I have just welded in a straight pipe and muffler so I can hear what the motor is doing.

Here are a couple of photos of the MJ in question

O2 Sensor looks new. Tested fine when on my scanner and the connection was cleaned. Map sensor was swapped with a new one we have on the shelf. I have read thru both the links you have there. Lots of good info but nothing that has helped. I kinda feel like I am missing something stupid obvious.

I have an 87 MJ 4.0l 5spd. have been slowly putting it together and trying to chase down a running issue. Its not like any problem I have found when researching. Here is what it does. It starts and idles great 700rpm. No hesitation when accelerating. As it comes down in RPM is starts to stumble and backfire through the TB. Basically its leaning way out. Here is what I have done. -Checked and confirm TPS working properly. -IAC working properly -Fuel Pressure 31lbs at idle 39 on acceleration -cleaned and greased every terminal under the hood -EGR removed and blocked off -vacuum leak test -cleaned every ground -spark plugs wires and cap rotor all new -distributor checked and re checked -Everything above checked and rechecked and rechecked Any Ideas?

I had the same issues in the beginning of the end of the transmission in my ZJ. After that it would not shift out of 1st gear until it was completely warm. The tranny guy I use says that the pressure switches in them go bad and it keeps the selanoid valves stuck part way open or shut. Something along those lines. I have one in the garage for a 4.0L that came from one I parted out a while ago.

There are a few XJ guys running around your area with Iron Rock Offroad longarms. I have no personal experience with them but they have positive to say.
