  1. Ok, Pete. I can see you're all-in on this swap. Question: I run stock size tires. Is there any benefit for me from this mod?
  2. Yeah, I'd rather not modify anything at this point. Thanks
  3. I see. Didn't know the bushings were kind-of like bearings. I'll just replace the whole arm. Thanks!
  4. Would old bushings indicate replacing the control arms and the bushings?
  5. Is that "SKF" or "SKP"? Rockauto has "SKP". Also, is the ZJ swap direct fit.
  6. I get that. However, I think it's all original down there except for the shocks that a changed several years ago. While it may be foolish to just change everything, everything will be changed. Problem solved is problem solved. I'm sure that makes sense in a parallel universe somewhere.
  7. What are you saying? It's crap?
  8. Pete, are the WJ arms a direct fit? Also, what year for WJ to pull from?
  9. No doubt you all are right about the potential poor quality of the big kits. I would imagine that some parts are okay, some decent, some poor maybe even very poor. However, while I prefer not having to piece together a shopping list and possibly not having the part needed when it's needed, I guess should go for quality over quantity. My MJ is 90% street. Any suggestions for brands that cater more to that price point/use than for parts "overbuilt" for off road that may be more expensive or overkill?
  10. Back to this headache. I guess I need to replace the whole shebang. I'd like to find something like this for my 88, but there doesn't seem to be one. https://www.amazon.com/Detroit-Axle-Adjustment-1991-2001-1991-1992/dp/B07B6RGWC9?ref_=nav_ya_signin I am assuming a kit for a 91 won't work. I have also read that some of the metal parts may not need to be replaced, just bushings. Any thoughts on where I should start? BTW, the symptoms haven't worsened. I am looking into what @AZJeff posted earlier.
  11. Thanks for this.
  12. Folks this is an extension of my post about REM readings. I turned into a vacuum discussion, so I figured it made more sense to start a new thread. I am going through my vac lines and I've been using the "MJ Projects and Write-Ups" area for guidance, BUT, it's not really working out for me. My lines aren't matching up, I'm not finding lines in question or, maybe, I just can't read the diagrams. Specifically, cabin vent air/heat only comes through the defrost. @AnotherOldJeepGuy Mentioned the hard line that runs along the firewall. SEE Engine Bay Pic. I took another pic of a similar pic @AnotherOldJeepGuy posted about his lines. My lines appear to be different. I have 4WD he has 2WD. Does that matter for this? See Close-Up pic. Hose "A" I found today. I cannot find where it is supposed to go. I think it's the "Yellow" hose in AnotherOldJeepGuy's pic. The "B" connection on my truck hasn't been attached to anything since I got it seven years ago. The little rubber "bulb" has a Ford logo on it. Can anyone make sense of this?
  13. That's interesting. I'll check it out.
  14. Well, @rokinn , you were correct. The hose connecting to the MAP was sloppy and leaking. Crusier54 said it was "prone to fail". I fixed that, but must have others as my heat still blows only at the Defroster. One down, infinite to go! VAC reading 17 at idle.

    Serious Question

    I'm joking. Although, I'm sure there are people out there just looking for a reason to protest something.
  18. In light of all the recent wokeness, cancel culture, etc. I've been wondering if a Jeep Comanche painted red is racist? @Pete M??? Is a black Comanche ok? I'm sure a white Comanche would be problematic. Mine was red and is now black. What does that mean? I'm troubled.
  19. The number of Comanches I see in Watauga Co., NC? Z E R O !!!!!!!
  20. Well, that would seem simple enough. @fiatslug87 Feels the new O2 sensors are not reliable. Any suggestions? NAPA?
  21. Ok. However, I think these items are ok. My last check of the FP was about +/- 30. Haven't noticed any fuel under the hood.
  22. No sure I have an O2. Have to check. I know my CAT has been removed. I live in county where that stuff isn't checked.
  23. I have it. It's the only way I knew I had some out of spec shenanigans going on.
  24. I do have aftermarket injectors. I've been thinking about putting the stock back in because it seems like I have more issues with the non-stock.
  25. Yes, heat us defrost only. I'll look into it. Any other details?
