That sounds right to me.

Looks good!

If I were you, I would probably look for a tilt and delay column. That one will probably be the easiest to find parts for.

Can We Talk About Radios?… Again?
89 MJ replied to neohic's topic in MJ Tech: Modification and Repairs
Here’s my plan for my vehicles, if I ever get around to it. You can get faceless Bluetooth radios like boats have and mount them somewhere inconspicuous. My MJ one might end up behind the seat and my Eagle one will probably end up behind the passenger kick panel. I’ve got OEM radios in both, but they don’t work and most of my local radio stations both in AZ and WI suck, so I listen to my phone anyways. Something like this, but I’m not spending $300 on it. https://www.amazon.com/Memphis-Audio-Headless-Smartphone-Bluetooth/dp/B09GCTY6KD/ref=mp_s_a_1_4?dib=eyJ2IjoiMSJ9.Uncs_AUnIw-qluo4REHYqbKfnj--QxFABNoTpUqESCERTsSNOuVpb4IXIDR7QJ9gvpENEMdb7rZNnbQr_OlLhS4PDj0kSDviNnZEcvkGSWflwCR-Ocf_C1FrJIED8uexmJDR4JOzpdEQXUqR9geL9r528_1_ud17rehsQwoFu7xF4CLW6V9xXB7ZFdM1UDZHOHa9Eekc4VRC8Zu1MCfL6w.ldC5vtncNJ1WQdE2nAyyHUsoeKjYaki4AIZ56fTCzts&dib_tag=se&keywords=hidden+car+stereo+system&qid=1732501129&sr=8-4 -

Build Your Own Harness: A Step-By-Step Guide
89 MJ replied to NickyV's topic in MJ Tech: DIY Projects and Write-Ups
They are pretty slick! You do have to be careful though. There is a fine line between burning the plastic and melting the solder nicely that you have to try to balance between. But if you can build a harness, you’re more than capable of not wrecking the connectors haha. -
Build Your Own Harness: A Step-By-Step Guide
89 MJ replied to NickyV's topic in MJ Tech: DIY Projects and Write-Ups
Holy cow, this is a very thorough write up. Looks like you did good work. I didn’t see it mentioned (but it’s possible and likely that I missed it), but I just wanted to add that you can get heat shrink versions of these: I recommend them because it makes your life a heck of a lot easier than using these connectors and then needing to put heat shrink over them. And then as an alternative to solder, the solder stick type connectors seem to work pretty well. They can’t be used in all cases where solder is needed, like a 2 into 1 type situation, but they do work for a 1 to 1 type scenario. -
My parents have these tires in a metric 35" tall size on their JK. They love them. Good traction in the wet or dry (can't vouch for how they do in the snow because it gets parked for the winter). Most importantly, they are not loud on the highway. They are a very good all terrain for street use and mild trails.

Yes. Make sure your heat shield between the injectors and intake/exhaust manifolds is there. Mine was in rough shape, so I tossed it and have regretted it since. Before replacing it, you should test it first. But it can go bad over time. Here's the testing procedure:

New IAT / Intake Air Temperature Sensor
89 MJ replied to coolwind57's topic in MJ Tech: Modification and Repairs
JMO, did you see any fuel economy gains? -
Probably would need to have a trusted friend or family member to sell them for you. And then call you for any negotiations.

That trans crossmember looks like it hangs down a long ways. Might also want to update your signature haha

Death wobble is trying to come back
89 MJ replied to Knucklehead97's topic in MJ Tech: Modification and Repairs
The steering stabilizer at best will only mask issues. Eventually, it will come back when the stabilizer wears out. -
I’ve done that with white lithium grease when my car got a new oil pump. White lithium grease was also used as assembly lube for the rocker arms and pushrods on its previous engine. Not the right way, but effective.

Both the BFG Radial T/A and Cooper Cobras are raised white letter tires that a lot of people run on older cars. I haven’t heard anything bad about either.

Driving on the street to street truck

I’m confident you could fix it. Glad you were alright. -

Death wobble is trying to come back
89 MJ replied to Knucklehead97's topic in MJ Tech: Modification and Repairs
That’s what I was guessing. There shouldn’t be any reason to replace the springs anyways. The only reason I could see the shock causing DW would be if it were seized or completely and making the suspension do weird stuff. but it doesn’t sound like that’s the case. It’s an unlikely issue, but it’s still a possibility. Out of everything suggested, it’s probably the least likely. If it is an issue, they’d probably take care of it at an alignment shop. -
Death wobble is trying to come back
89 MJ replied to Knucklehead97's topic in MJ Tech: Modification and Repairs
Sounds like it wouldn't hurt to get the tires road force balanced. When you said your mechanic put in new suspension, does that mean shocks? Or is new suspension springs, shocks, and all rubber parts? There are almost countless causes for death wobble. The condition of all rubber puts in the front suspension should be inspected and replaced if needed. The track bar bolt on the front axle side is also prone to getting worn out to be an oval shape, causing death wobble. You should also get it aligned if it hasn't been aligned in a long time. Not having enough caster can cause issues too. @boxyjeep is somewhere in Cali, so he might have some shop recommendations. I would encourage you to learn how to do a lot of this stuff on your own. These are fairly simple rigs. Obviously there are some things that you can't do, like the tire balance and alignment, but working on other suspension stuff can be done fairly easily. -
That I don’t know, might want to make a post in tech asking

I want to say that the AMC ones are not interchangeable with the later Bendix ones. So you’d need a matched pair of make and female ends.

4.0 thermostat sensor in radiator hose?
89 MJ replied to J33ps's topic in MJ Tech: Modification and Repairs
My truck has the sensor in the lower rad hose as well. I’m fairly certain my truck has the original rad in it and came with factory AC too. -
This 30lb bucket should do Seriously though, I’d probably get two of the smaller tubes from a parts store and hope that took care of it.

I saw somewhere on the internet that it was a very last minute wrap. @OffGridResearch could probably explain
