replacing cracked coolant bottle
mnkyboy replied to jeepcj11's topic in MJ Tech: Modification and Repairs
If you get a new aftermarket one make sure to try the cap on it before you install it,ive seen a few new ones that had sealing issues causing them to boil over. my XJ had an aftermarket one when i got it and i had nothing but problems out of it,i found a good OEM one at the JY and havent had an issue since -
Fuel Injector upgrade to mustang????
mnkyboy replied to 90eliminator's topic in MJ Tech: Modification and Repairs
have these been verified to work on our trucks? took LT1 injectors about a week to start popping injector drive transistors in my ECU. any yellow top from a 5.0L or 4.6L ford will work, they are not bigger they are a more reliable Bosch design and have an improved injector nozzle over the factory injectors. -
what's the best way to clean carpet?
mnkyboy replied to Darren's topic in MJ Tech: Modification and Repairs
a garden hose,scrub brush,shop vac, and some soap works well. I did my EXP that way and it came out great. I have a carpet shampooer with an upholstery attachment you could borrow -
Mnkyboys 89 Comanche project
mnkyboy replied to mnkyboy's topic in MJ Hardcore Tech: Epic Journeys to Greatness
mocked up one side last night with my homemade drop brackets and everything fit great. here's some pics of the arms- 798 replies

- 2.5l
- supercharged
- (and 7 more)

between the two i would get the rock krawler arms. I just went through this on my mj and in the end i went with RC X-flex adj uppers/lowers. they are very stout arms and have flex joints on the uppers and lowers. they were $307 with shipping from hell creek
-
I ended up ordering one from NAPA. I checked every parts store around and nobody had one in stock so i had to order it. seems everyone stocks everything for the 4.0L but not as much for the 2.5L

its only rated 15/20MPG with the new system, it was 17/22MPG with the old ratings http://www.fueleconomy.gov/feg/calculat ... =1&id=7172 28mpg is as good as alot of 4cyl economy cars from the same era. :nuts:

alot of these type of deals play out very well, i would go look at it. my trucks ad said "84 jeep pickup fourbyfour runs $400" it had no pics, i called the owner and they knew very little about it. i got curious and went to looked at it and drove home in a decent looking 89 shortbox 4X4 sitting on 31" tires :cheers: the best deals come from the people who don't know what they have.

Changing a headliner (lots of pictures)
mnkyboy replied to Squeegy410's topic in MJ Tech: DIY Projects and Write-Ups
If you look around alot of fabric shops sell actual headliner material it was about $20 for enough to do mine -
Changing a headliner (lots of pictures)
mnkyboy replied to Squeegy410's topic in MJ Tech: DIY Projects and Write-Ups
I wouldnt recommend using super 77 for headliner adhesive,3m makes adhesive for headliners (Part #08090) it cost twice as much but will hold alot longer. i don't remember for sure but i think the super77 says its not suitable for headliners on the can. -
Most durable paint - out of a spray can
mnkyboy replied to wyk's topic in MJ Tech: Modification and Repairs
If I get it in a can from NAPA, will I need to thin it for an HVLP system? Will this hold enough air for covering a Comanche?: http://www.harborfreight.com/cpi/ctaf/displayitem.taf?Itemnumber=65595 no,you would need a compressor. that tank would probably run a gun for maybe a minute,you need to hold about 25psi continuously at the gun. the paint will need reduced but reducer is also cheap,years ago i sprayed a sand rail with rustoleum and reduced it with paint thinner,it took forever to dry but it came out nice and cost me about $20. -
Most durable paint - out of a spray can
mnkyboy replied to wyk's topic in MJ Tech: Modification and Repairs
Something along the lines of this? What would be a good source of paint? I assume I will need to purchase the paint and a hardener? http://www.harborfreight.com/cpi/ctaf/Displayitem.taf?itemnumber=44677 I would get a compressor if you don't already have one,its a good tool to have. for paint check out Napa they will set you up and the prices arent bad. for a gun I would get something like this they are about $20 and spray pretty good,not bad to start with. http://www.harborfreight.com/cpi/ctaf/d ... mber=47016 -

mnkyboy replied to wyk's topic in MJ Tech: Modification and Repairs
I would get a cheap harbor freight paint gun and some cheap single stage equipment paint. you can also spray rustoleum from a gun if you thin it a little. If you are good with a can you will be better with a gun as you have far more control and the paint will lay alot better,it will also be much more durable. -
Rough Country front lift parts
mnkyboy replied to JACKED88's topic in MJ Tech: Modification and Repairs
he got close but didnt match it. You got a killer deal,the equivelent ironman arms are the same price as RC's. the ones you had price matched are not even close to what you got from RC -
Alot of GM engines have HECHO in MEXICO cast all over them

If you get it i may be interested in the wiring harness

Rough Country front lift parts
mnkyboy replied to JACKED88's topic in MJ Tech: Modification and Repairs
He still does work for RC, and if they could do that for you, I bet he could also. Rob L. I'm gonna have too contact him,if he can match those prices i will go that route. -

2.5 questions...update 5/20/2010
mnkyboy replied to manimal's topic in MJ Tech: Modification and Repairs
i said easiest way not the best way. really unless your building a race car or plan to run alot of boost i don't think you would notice a difference,most OEM carb/turbo setups are draw through. I have seen VWs get into the 10s running draw though,its common on aircooled VWs for its simplicity. When i build a system i usually convert to MPFI and go blow through. -
2.5 questions...update 5/20/2010
mnkyboy replied to manimal's topic in MJ Tech: Modification and Repairs
the mitsubishi 4g54 sohc in the starion/conquest was TBI and turbo. IMO the easiest way to turbo a 2.5L would be a draw though set up with a carb, but the best way would be a blow through setup and MPFI which is how I'm planning top do mine as soon as i can get converted to MPFI.
