That's a good plan. Rob L. :thumbsup:
-
Ah, sorry. So at least that outrules the ground. Now start looking to see why the pos has low volts. Probably a bad connection... Rob L.
-
Not really. If the problem IS the ground, just grounding it through the ground pin or the chassis, would produce the same bad results. Rob L.
-
Pos on the pin, ground on neg of battery... Sorry. Rob L.
-
What about if you ran a lead back to the batt? Would you end up with 12V at the pin? Rob L.
-
The ballast resistor is a quick fix, and often goes bad also. Rob L.

I know there are a few people on the group that would just weld a steel rock slider in place. I have also heard that you can use a trilgate guard off of a '94-'01 dodge ram to weld in, as it has almost the same contour, and can be had in diamond plate. I have 2 complete rocker sections from a 2 door cherokee that I was going to use, until Paul, mfpdm, sold me the rockers and a cab corner off his parted MJ. Look for a 2 door cherokee in the yard, and cut out the section you need... Might be easier to find than a clean MJ section. Rob L.

I'm down to two vehicles! Time to organize the ol' garage, and pull in the MJ for a winter of rebuilding. Rob L. :banana:

Ideally should have battery voltage at the pump... 12V or better. A lot of member have problems with the ground on these trucks. There is a bed to chassis ground in the tail light housing I would also reccommend checking. Rob L.

My 91 Eliminator Street truck
Automan2164 replied to 1999MJ's topic in Member Projects: Your Comanches
I am a fan of the chrome center cap, and chrome lugs... The full piece jeep center looks a little out of place. Rob L. :dunno: -
Just tyring to correct a common mistake, but it is a "catalytic" converter. There is no such thing as a "cadillac" converter. No worries mate. Rob L. ;)

chapest way to lift
Automan2164 replied to daltonmcgill7's topic in MJ Tech: Modification and Repairs
:agree: A lift kit or suspension components are not things to cheap out on. Afterall, you are riding on top of these things. For what your looking for, this is what I would do: Cherokee Country/ V-8 ZJ coils ($15 ea, by me from a yard) Chevy drop Shackles off ebay ($100 set, ebay) This will get you an inch to 2" real easy, and for under $200. But before you buy a "cheap" lift, save, spend some decent money, and thank yourself later. What I listed like Eagle said, with the shackles, will put a little more work on the rear springs, but IF you HAVE TO get it done quick, and on the cheap, that'd be the way I would go. Another way to go is this: Cherokee Country/ V-8 ZJ coils ($15 ea, by me from a yard) Metric Ton Comanche Leafs. ($25 ea, by me from a yard) This would be better, as you get a stronger rear spring set, and a lift at the same time. And, although hard to find, metric ton MJ springs are out there, and will be a direct bolt in. Will this be used off road? and how often? Rob L. -

Automan2164 replied to daltonmcgill7's topic in MJ Tech: Modification and Repairs
For lift kits, stick to the "brand name" manufacturers. The JCWhitney looks to have lumped MJ's in with XJ's... We have a spring under rear suspension, so lift block, installed in the correct way, are actually lowering blocks on a comanche. You want to look for a cheap set of coils, and possibly an add a leaf. Hell creek suspensions, a member here, manufacture a full-true add a leaf that works with our trucks, and would be the way to do. http://www.hellcreeksuspensions.com Rob L. :thumbsup: -

Grand cherokee V-8 coils (same as cherokee country coils) make about 1 inch of lift in the front of an MJ, and chevy drop shackles can also net a small lift, about 1 inch. You can fit 31" tires stock with some trimming though. Rob L. -
Putting Floors in that rusty MJ or XJ
Automan2164 replied to Pollockzrodz's topic in MJ Tech: DIY Projects and Write-Ups
Did you just tack the panels then seal the edges, or welded them all the way around? Rob L. -
Put that locker in your MJ yet Wade? Rob L.

Didn't I read somewhere that a 4.0L HO in a 2wd SWB was faster on the 1/4 than its corvette year equivalent in '91-2? I think I read that in some of my old comanche literature... :hmm: Rob L.

Lower Control Arms-is this a good replacement?
Automan2164 replied to robfg67's topic in MJ Tech: Modification and Repairs
Not always. Just look for cracks and dry-rot. Plus, the WJ's really arent THAT old, so chances are, they will still be in good form. Rob L. :thumbsup: -
Lookin good Darren. Glad you decided to keep it. Rob L.
