  1. Took a page out of @89 MJ's book and spruced up the manche for christmas. Wrapped the hood with wrapping paper (maybe a little jdm but thats ok) Put my chrome 8 slot on and modified my 92 bezels to fit my 87 clip. I really and digging the chrome. And I put a wreath on the tailgate
  2. jumped the connector and it fired up! there is quite a bit of engine smoke I think because I didnt bolt my downtube onto my manifold correctly (because that was my first fix when I heard about the exhaust rag
  3. cps checks out I am skeptical of the connector one of the male pins is bent and the female is shoved back in there but I think they are touching
  4. checked my coil and it is good
  5. held them close enough to a ground? I didnt check my cps
  6. no spark judging from the videos I that I took from my engine bay with 2 different sets of plugs. no spark when I put a plug in the wire from the coil to the distributor idk if thats an actual test but I thought I would try
  7. no. and I have no way of getting one atm. is this nub supposed to be black I can't rember if it was last time I had my cap off
  8. old ish. might be worth replacing. my plugs are pretty new
  9. can't confirm spark I am alone atm. I can hear the fuel pump
  10. Well my jeep was running great until yesterday after school driving home about 500 feet from my house it sputtered and died. spent the next 4 hours trying to get it to run including sawing off my exhaust muffler back because 2 people at school told me some dingus shoved a rag up my tailpipe. Ended up towing it home with my buddies xj. Started fluid didnt work. Cleaned the plugs this morning because thats what was wrong the last 2 times.
  11. Haha that’s good. Makes me want to do something festive to my manche
  12. thank you!
  13. Finally earned my big boy pants yesterday! pull was really smooth only took like 2 hours (granted I had a lot of the work already done) What really took forever was bolting it to my stand that took like 4. Had a blast doing it. Probably going to strip it down and clean it all and leave it for a couple months-years while I prepare the cashflow for it. I did recenty get hired at home depot 15$ hourly!
  14. definable way more strong than most things I could buy. It is such a crappy design supporting this big mass from the side but there is really no better way to do it.
  15. Built an engine stand out of some scrap 4" channel yesterday. Seriously over built for what I need. Fun little project didnt take to long. HO should come out soon?
  16. one year ago today was the purchase of this fine machine boy its come a long way. especially the interior Jeez
  17. the shop I went to charged me 45 for the shaft 45 for mount and balance and 60 for U joints. What it looks like he did was chopped the ends off and just welded a new tube in. works great for me going to need to take both shafts back when I run dual tcases. Since its an lwb shaft I really have no use for a SYE other than strength or whatever
  18. so their jeep really did die
  19. Hes just jealous I have beefier brakes and knuckles and everything I'm gonna break a u joint or a shaft before my pinion gears get messed up
  20. yeah lol my buddy is giving me crap for it being a lp. Hes building a super 30 for his red xj (pictured below) chromoly shafts 30 spline carrier and a big truss and all that jazz. plus some other pics just driving aorund black lj is my friends red tj was just some random one at the grocery store
  21. OHHHH yes I was reading about those way back then and must of gotten it confused
  22. oh ok cool. still would be cool to build a diesel 4 liter. I guess it would just be easier to 4bt swap
  23. isnt the diesel just a 2.5 with a changed stroke and bore? and isnt the 2.5 just a 4.0 with 2 cylinders chopped off? by that logic you could build a diesel 4.0
  24. I have a low pinion 44 in the front or else you would be correct. At ride height the shaft will have about at steep as I would like it to be not to mention full droop hey I can use that emoji because I have an ax15
