  1. I had one on a full size. It worked okay. The arm just wasn't long enough to be truly useful.
  2. Its currently on duty as my daughter's college cruiser. I was asking as she whines about how it vibrates in the pedals, and shifter. I wondered if it was there, or was she being a pain in the @$$.
  3. Did you have interior vibration issues afterwards? When I was trying to decide what kind to get, I read a lot of internet stuff about using the complete poly kit and people noticing all the engine vibration transferring into the pedals and shifter inside. I couldn't decide, but I happened to find this stuff for sale.
  4. I did it to ours, except i used a poly bushing in the bottom one, for racecar reasons... Really, a local guy had a kit on market place and the bottom was poly. Sent from my SM-S727VL using Tapatalk
  5. When I did the TPS on my 01 with the auto, it was available on Rockauto. I think thats a SOHC vs. DOHC thing. The SOHC is available the DOHC isn't
  6. Is that like the Taurus and a stuck or fouled IAC won't even throw an emissions code, just run like crap once you let off the gas? I'm very surprised you got ahold of an Amazon employee capable of speaking a language you understand well enough to communicate. Sent from my SM-S727VL using Tapatalk
  7. Is this one missing the back fairings? Sent from my SM-S727VL using Tapatalk
  8. At what point does something like that become no longer a Comanche.? What I see there is really akin to a Nascar car. Yeah.. it might say Toyota on the sticker, but there isn't much there that makes it truly a Toyota.
  9. This month we feature another every day truck with a quality restoration job. Its another great example of what our faithful community members are doing these old warrior trucks!

Tell Us Your Best MJ Story ● When I called the old fella who owned my comanche to buy it, he said "sure you can come look at er' this weekend" and when I had told him I was located on the other side of Canada he promptly hung-up the phone thinking I was being a fool It wasn't until I called back and told him I was willing to put a down-payment on it right then and there he knew i was serious. Though, thats one of many memories I have with it. CC is Awesome!...

Enjoy guys!! Your feedback is always welcome folks!!!

    88 MJ?

    I can't zoom in enough on the emblem, but it looks like the post 86 emblem on the fender with the lower case letters. That however doesn't mean much as it could have been switched or the fender switched.
  11. What part of western IL? I'm a bit east of Fulton. Sent from my SM-S727VL using Tapatalk
  12. We have one of those rent a lift places here. Pretty good deal if your not a complete cheap @$$ like me. Sent from my SM-S727VL using Tapatalk

    So is stopping your car in the middle of the interstate and getting out... and paper license plates with the words License Plate, but that sure doesn't deter Atlanta drivers. I have that 'fancy' Garmin one for $149. I used it when I tried my hand at Uber driving. It worked really well for what it was. My complaint was that only one lens could be active at a time. For my use, I wanted both lenses to be able to be recorded at the same time,
  14. OSHA? Never heard of her.... This looks like the set-up for a Farmers' Insurance commercial.. Janky ladderscaffold-asaurs?? We seen it... didn't cover it.
  15. BTW.. for the sake of posterity, the Dana 35 in Jeeps is 27 spline, not 21. It doesn't matter whether its a C-Clip or non C-Clip axle. The Ford version, I don't remember.. I'm fairly sure its the horrible memories of them being blocked out by my subconscious.
  16. Well, then I read the edited version as this links the version I read.
  17. Reading it.. It was clear, you didn't care for the Gladiator. I thought the quote wasn't contextually used well, but when you include the article structure, I.E. the quote being in the first paragraph and the tone of the second paragraph being negative, it reads much clearer as the quote was intended to highlight Jeep's former innovation vs. the current repackaging marketing focus. I may have to read some of the author's other writing to see if this a trend for him to leave quotes missing context.
  18. Just trying to help you for the next one, or the next guy who wanders across this thread and has an econobox and a budget to match. I assumed that you being in a more civilized area than me, probably have better access to those speciality tools than I do anyway. Sent from my SM-S727VL using Tapatalk
  19. Fyi, both Oreillys and Auto Zone have the crimper in their loan a tool program here Sent from my SM-S727VL using Tapatalk
  20. Wal-Mart around here can do the Pats keys for $35. The pressed in hub on the knuckle is supposedly to make assembly faster. I bought a complete assembly when I did ours as i don't really have access to an automotive machine shop anymore. It was about $200 at the time. Crawl underneath and check where the convertor goes into the down pipe. It is bolted with those spring loaded bolts and donut gasket there. I thought it was a cracked or leaking manifold, I found a big chunk of donut gasket missing.
  21. It's a good possibility the harness would break there. It's kinda a strange way it bends there, almost a Chrysler like way. I'm sure it's easier to install that way or uses .0001 cents less wiring. Sent from my SM-S727VL using Tapatalk
  22. Our rear hatch switch didn't work. It was absolutely full of road crap/dirt, dried up grease, etc. Once I cleaned it out good and relubed everything it works fine. Sent from my SM-S727VL using Tapatalk
  23. Just 3hp is a good increase when you started with 15hp. Sent from my SM-S727VL using Tapatalk
  24. Plus that 3/4" suspension lowering on it for extra handling Sent from my SM-S727VL using Tapatalk
  25. That's the sporty model of the older ones Sent from my SM-S727VL using Tapatalk
