    keep in mind this will only apply to the 2.5L,the 4.0L is different

    I use windows media player, you should already have it on your computer

    yours should be about 30.5",i had 31s on mine for a while with a 5" lift and it didnt look silly.

    they looked fairly stout but i had no use for them,i was pretty happy about finding the front skid which they had also beefed up.

    with the truck level on stands i can jack up one brake rotor into the wheel well and almost lay the other brake rotor on the ground,my springs will almost fall out they are sloppy enough i put them in by hand without a spring compressor. so basically my flex is great :banana: i think the difference is i built control arm drop brackets so at 6.5" of lift my control arms are still pretty level where yours are almost maxed out from the start.

    I almost snagged it too but i had already spent a couple hundred dollars there,somebody had already opened the diff and tore the brakes apart. i found the drums a few cars over and put them with it. I also noticed the ring gear is chipped but should work fine. I did score a nice front skid plate off the truck. it also has a set of recovery hooks tied into the plow mounts that someone could use for something and it has the metric ton springs as well.

    I installed the same arms a couple weeks ago with no issues. my measurements won't help you though as i also installed drop brackets,it would be good to keep in mind that everything might look a little off at full droop but its gonna swing forward some when you set it back on the ground

    :agree: my XJ didnt leak a drop when i got it,after a few months i noticed a leak and within a few weeks it was severe.

    a rear main seal on a 4.0L is a pretty minor problem. i don't see the issue :dunno:

    is it the right gasket? If it is and just won't stay in i would glue it in with RTV to hold it in place while you bolt it down. if its not the right gasket or something is wrong with it i would get another one.

    a harborfrieght welder is gonna stick metal together so you should be fine with any decent brand name welder Ive had good luck with lincoln,miller,and century. never used a hobart but i can't see any reason it would have problems. theres really not much to a welder,just make sure you buy one that can be serviced if you do have a problem or need to buy parts.

    thanks for posting this :thumbsup: I'm getting the falcon ready to go back into service this weekend and needed a good horror story. :cheers:

    i can see the right setup driven easy get into the 20s,but some peoples MPG just seems insane. someone a couple weeks ago was claiming 38mpg from a 4.0L MJ on 33s with 3.07s,thats a good number for most compact economy cars
  14. mnkyboy
    Its crazy how much peoples claimed fuel mileage varies,not just here as i see it everywhere. apparently math works differently from person to person. seems a good running 4.0L should get between 12 and 40 mpg :hmm: my family has owned 6 jeeps that i can remember,none of them broke 20MPG and two are 4cyls

    thanks neighbor, yours aint so bad either :cheers:

    I just converted mine to power last weekend. the reservoir from the donor was broken so i searched the yard and found a good replacement on a BMW,lots of cars use remote reservoirs just look around and you will find something close.

    I put one of those on my moms Ranger,it worked pretty good although i always wanted to weld the adjustable part solid instead of bolts. I pulled it when she got rid of the truck and parts of it is gonna end up as a winch mount on the MJ

    1973 the original Eleanor, my first car was a 72 so ive always liked the 71-73 mustangs :cheers:

    2.5L metric ton

    mnkyboy replied to mnkyboy's topic in The Pub

    must have been a rare option. I'm thinking about going back for the springs and axle, the yard wants $200 for everything.

    thanks

    2.5L metric ton

    mnkyboy posted a topic in The Pub

    went to the JY today and found a 86 2.5L ax5 4X4 MJ with an amc 20 and metric ton springs. VIN 1jthl65f7gt100260 as far as i could tell it looked like it came that way but ive never seen this on a 4cyl MJ :nuts:
  22. mnkyboy
    well got the drop brackets and arms in,the flex is great. i put my 5" spring setup in temporarily and it flexed enough the springs easily went in by hand. I also installed power steering today,got tired of manually turning my 33X12.5s hopefully i will have the truck driving soon.
  23. mnkyboy
    should tow an atv fine, i towed a flat bed with 4 sport atvs behind mine with no problems. my 4.0L XJ tows better but the MJ does a good job :cheers:
  24. mnkyboy
    I have 3.55s and 33s with a 2.5L it sucks. My XJ has a 4.0L aw4 and 3.55s with 31s and it could use gears. I imagine 33s would suck and i wouldnt expect very good fuel mileage either
  25. mnkyboy
    still not a single problem with any of thier products. My RRO bolt on SOA hasnt given me any problems although i don't plan to use it forever,once i get a D44 i plan to remove the bolt on section and weld the perches to the D44.
