I think the purpose of notch in seat was to provide more space for forward movement of the seat. The small shift console, when my seat is fully forward, protrudes about 3 - 3 1/2" into the notch.

In the wheel listing hornbrod provided offset is shown as a letter, L, H/M etc.. Can someone decifer those to an equivlent inch measurement. I'm hoping I can cut down on JY snooping time. Obviously I'm not to familiar with wheel specs so clarification appreciated.

Nice 88 w low miles. https://corvallis.craigslist.org/cto/5975626053.html

How about worn out/broken motor mount, or mounts. Engine flopping around side to side causes a lot of noise. Raise hood rev engine and see if engine is rolling to side.

Put new hubs w/bearings, calipers and pads on the front today. Tomorrow will pick up 4 shocks to smooth out the ride a little.

nd then tighten to spec, which isn't much in aluminum. hope this helps That's all that's left of a paragraph. Who knows where the hell it went!

Using the 231 gate works fairly good. If it bangs up against the end of gate when trying to return to 2wd grind it down a 1/4", or what ever needed, to increase throw distance. Going the other way if full time is not going far enough to engage grind the tab down (dremel) some. In short I ground down both ends of gate slot and the FT stop to make it work. Drove it for several years that way with no problems. But fell on to 242 components so changed to that when I was switching some other parts. It works a little smoother with 242 setup of course.

No mention of it being a running truck: http://lasvegas.craigslist.org/cto/5415946126.html

Thanks you all for the info. I'll get this taken care of with the newer oil filter adapter off a 91 +.

Will this filter (L14670) for an 91 MJ work on an 89 MJ? Local retailers in my town don't carry the Purolator (believe it was L14619 ?) that fit the Renix engine, obviously do to it's age.

Everybody should have one of these in their front yard: http://roseburg.craigslist.org/cto/5157075477.html

Just something to look at as it can cause weird problems: Measure your wheel base center rear axle to center front axle on both sides. At some time my MJ was hit in the front causing a 1 1/8" shortness on the pass side. Have never figured out where the shrinkage occurred at on the body/chassis. But it caused pass tire to rub on rear fender in turns and drove very sloppily. It was non-correctable with shims, so, I bought lower adj. CA's and forced the axle forward (with a come-along) to eliminate the wheel base 1 1/8" that was missing. Pulled out shims on both sides and run at 8.1 + caster (no lift). All is well.

That is a nice truck. Your effort is obivious in results.
