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

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
-
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
-
checked my coil and it is good
-
held them close enough to a ground? I didnt check my cps
-
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
-
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
-
old ish. might be worth replacing. my plugs are pretty new
-
can't confirm spark I am alone atm. I can hear the fuel pump

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.

thank you!

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!

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.

Driveshaft for lifted truck
Jesse J replied to BentGear's topic in MJ Tech: Modification and Repairs
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 -
so their jeep really did die
-
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
-
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
-
OHHHH yes I was reading about those way back then and must of gotten it confused
-
oh ok cool. still would be cool to build a diesel 4 liter. I guess it would just be easier to 4bt swap
-
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
-
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
