Ive never had any good luck with getting the wheel on tightly. Way back if you remember my thread about the steering wheel nut sizes, my threads were jacked up on the column and so the nut never went on tightly and I thought that because the nut and threads were messed up were causing that issue. So I got a tap and dye set to rethread the threads on the column to an actual Jeep steering wheel nut and it went on tightly and the steering wheel is on there but it still can be removed by hand with some force. As long as the nut holds the steering wheel in place and doesn’t wobble it around like it did with the old nut, I say it’s good.

My hands. Never had to use a puller since my wheel comes off easily but not easily to where I need a puller.

In what depths of CC hell did you have to dive to find this antique thread?

My experience that I have had and I’ve only done it once is that I called a junkyard about a rear bumper they had and they said they would get pics of it before the pulled it. Took I want to say about a week for them to do that. Called them back about it and they said(like me when I forget to do swim thing at work) is they got a little backed up and behind, fine no big deal. They sent me the pics, thought I was nuts to want the rusted bumper(only the support bar) told them yes. Gave them my info and next day they called and said they shipped it. So it’s a matter of waiting really. Who knows maybe taking some pics of a grill is low priority at the moment for them.

Typical.

Ground was replaced after its melt down, surface was cleaned before installed. Power is alright, its cleaned up.

Haaaaaaate to say it but the end caps are missing its stupid special retaining pins.

The father of the SJ.

Huh, I missed this but yes I will admit I have been a bit spoiled by such. Now on to some issues. Christmas day I went and cleaned all contacts for the points and that was it. Didnt try anything else. Came back today, cranked her over, can't tell if the starter hates life or if the engine doesnt like cranking while making compression. Might crack open the valve covers and just watch the action of all the lifters...that being said I took out all the spark plugs and each one has fired at least a few times as they are pretty damn black in color. I confirmed I am getting a good strong spark, it just seems like the starter needs to be replaced. But with the plugs out, itll crank all damn day without an issue. So not sure where to go with that other than replace the starter. I cleaned all the grounds and contacts. the batter cables get warm with resistance which could indicate the starter going out. Any ideas yall?

Heat and a BFH will fix these bumpers all damn day long.

Correct. None left anywhere. Model years:1986-1991. Used in 91-92 BB body Chrysler cars. Premier or Monaco

Nice! I’m genuinely curious. Hell some body shops might have NOS or even used old parts laying around. I only say this because the body shop through my work has some old parts and the one I can remember right now is an old Ford tailgate.

Good call

Make sure they don’t try to con you into an 8 slot. But if they do have some NOS I might have to make a call too lol.

Somewhere lol. Give a few phone calls to those “new” ones. I am curious.

It’s like the 21 slot and it’s header panel.

The code in the VIN itself would tell us if it is a MT or not.

I have not gone and looked for it yet, if you can get yours down and out faster than me, by all means go ahead and shoot 89 a PM.

I like how his spare has never ever seen the road.

Glad to hear that(well read)! I thought I had remembered reading about the 4.0 in the FSM277 one day.
