Does the temperature eventually hit a stopping point or does it just keep creeping up until it pegs out?

I had also heard the same thing but the airtex lasted the same as the carter for me. Pretty sure they are made by the same manufacturer

The carter or airtex work fine but don’t last very long from what I have seen. There area a few of us who have adapted other pumps like the Deatshwerks DW200 but it takes some modifications to fit. Here is rather simple way that I installed mine. Had to use the old rubber straps from the airtex pump along with a different pump strainer. At some point I may remove the upper pump retainer but for now it acts as a nice hose and wiring guide

I think the op is referring to thin plastic water shield behind the door panel. I used some 5mil plastic sheeting from Home Depot and trimmed it to fit on my previous MJ. On my current one I’m using 1/8” dynaliner

Keep in mind that the “park” function is part of the motor circuitry so don’t discount the motor altogether just yet even though it may not be your prime suspect. If your wipers don’t return to park when you shut them off at the switch, the motor circuit could be a likely culprit. If the wiper motor is original, it’s definitely worth cracking it open and cleaning up the contacts inside. There is a diy write up on it here in the master diy thread

I’ve never seen a dipstick in the regular sanden compressors, only the bigger York vertical compressors. Could you send a picture of what you have?

Failing to park can be the actual wiper motor and/or the black box or a wiring issue between the two. It’s a short 12v pulse that should kick on the intermittent sweep of the wipers. The wiper motor itself is responsible for completing the sweep and returning to park so long as it has solid 12v+ & ground at the motor.

On my 90 both hard lines were 3/8 but the return line necked down to 5/16 near the tank.

Is your ax15 transmission from an XJ? As for mods, I’ve built several strokers now. My key takeaway is “underwhelming performance for the amount of investment”. The last build i did was just a modified 4.0 and that was actually a decent engine but still cost several grand in parts alone

Very clean!

Use whatever shim you need to get the following angles based on your specific driveshaft type. Whatever angle needed to get the proper geometry, I like to take the pinion down about 1-2* from that point to account for axle tube twist under load.

Hopefully I got the redesigned unit! Sorry to hijack limey

I’ve heard great things about Caltracs. Trying to see if something like that would work to prevent axle wrap but still allow for good articulation.

All the red lights are stop, turn and tail lights.

If you can’t remove the existing frame nuts easily, you can stack the new nut on top of the old one. Had to do that with my previous MJ as the old ones would not budge but were quite stripped out. Delt with so many broken bumper bolts on that truck. No amount of heat, drilling or hammering would remove them. Finally just set my plasma torch on what was left of the broken bolt like a light saber. Melted through it like butter

I replaced all the nuts inside the frame for the bumper as they strip out very easily. Replaced with grade 10.9 flange nuts. Worked very well

Just a thought but try to start with tire size then build around that. Many factors at play

Gotcha, I was thinking tapered reamer for TRE’s

Reamer? So your using tie rod ends or heims? Or was the reamer so you could install some sort of insert?

Do you have the right size misalignment spacers? How is the bolt to heim cylinder bore fit?

Do you have a polished version?

Haven’t seen another member chime in yet but Kody Kilmer has a few last I checked.

It’s a 5/8 socket that drives it so my guess is 1/2”. You shouldn’t just go get a hardware store bolt though if you lost one. Get a used one or try to source new

I can definitely recommend the setup I ran above. It was fantastic steering, even my wife loved driving it as it felt no different than our forester
