Twisty

88 MJ, 4.0, AW4, yadda yadda...not stock, but the brakes are. I can't get the passanger side front to bleed. The drivers side will just fine, but nothing from the passanger side. I thought there was a clog, so I took a bicycle pump, and pumped air through the line. I did this at BOTH ends. I took the rubber line off at the passy side, and pumped air up to the master...which bubbled. I tried to bleed...nothing. Then I took the line dirrectly out of the master, and pumped air through there, and it went just fine. I hooked the line back up to the master, got a few bubbles, then nothing. I've tried the master cylinder from my parts XJ, didnt work. I bench bled the thing...still wouldnt work. My next thought is the splitter that the master leads into...but if I can get air through it, then why can't I get fluid through it? Clog? Is there a valve in there that can go bad? I have a wheeling trip in 1 week, and I need to get these brakes working. The front flex lines, calipers, pads, and rotors are very new. The rear brakes are 100% brand new from the backing plates to the drums. I don't know what to do. Any ideas???

ballast resistor?

Good god I would love to be able to recall that kind of info from the top of my head :eek:

gad zooks. I bet you are :mad: :hateputers: :headpop: right now. Sorry dude.

What about using leafs from Tater salad? Take out the third leaf to lower the rear a little...you could do it for cheap. I re-built my MJ leaf springs using parts from an XJ spring....for free.

Use shorter rear springs, with a combo of a TC drop. That might get you another inch on the slip yoke. When I had my drive shaft re-tubed, it was $120. Retubing a LWB rear DS, and new u-joints. It was very reasonable. But I know what you mean about being broke. I need to to ball joints......and I just can't afford them now. You'll get it done. I was in a crisis with my MJ the morning that I was supposed to leave to go wheeling. I had to build a bumper, attach a skid plate, and bumpstops. Good luck Pat. You've put TONS of good work into this truck, and it looks great!

My MJ has been stalling lately...especially when starting from a stop. I thought it was TPS...but now I am wondering if its a fuel pump problem.

dude, are those TLT axles? Those are pretty cool man. I love that Willys.

rccrawler.com I have an Emaxx that is built to the hilt. Brushless motor, UE diffs, GA bulks, UE shock towers, Ofna shocks...etc. But I need a $200 motor speed control. You can build a custom tube chassis out of brake line, and solder. Looks pretty fun/cool.

Nice work 1999. That MJ looks VERY sharp. I wish I had the time/resources to take my bed off.

I think a sub-forum in the classifieds would be a good place to put feed back. If somone has a good transaction with Pat (JeepcoMJ) they could create a thread titled "JeepcoMJ A+ Seller". If there was a single thread, searching through it to find a specific member might get to be a hassle, especially if the thread is 10+ pages long. :dunno:

I think that Eagle will have a caniption!

I remember seeing pics of your rear bumper before. I made sure to mimmic the wrap around skids on my bumper :brows: .

Who's going to the Fall Crawl? I'll be there with my MJ!

2" back spacing is massive! It looks great though. I'm tempted to do a leaf swap when I get a new front axle. It looks like a fun project.

I got my T&T tracbar today. Its really nice!! I just need to get some rustoleum...then its going in!

I bought my front shocks from Quadratec. They were the Skyjacker Hydro shocks....and honestly, I'm pleased with them. They were about $32 each, and arrived at my door 4 days after placing the order. With my SOA, I was able to retain the stock shocks...and they work well at 6.5". All I did was raised my mount on the axle tube. You can also look at the Monroe catalog. Eagle says that you can get what you need from there. I tried to understand the catalog...but after an hour or two, I gave up and went with Skyjacker.

No problem!!! If you want me to get some more detailed shots of LWB shock set ups...I would be glad to!

no, WJs are the same length as stock MJ arms...but they have that bend. ;)

My CB location. And I trimmed some metal off of the bottom of the bed...it was rusty, and bent anyways.

Any clue on the tire size/axle selection??? :eek:

I believe that the 21 spline 231's ceased to exist with the Renix system. The 23 spline units came with the HO motor.

PM replied ;)

I don't want to rain on BrettM's parade, because I think he has a GREAT product...but I made my own for under $20. Its not as clean, and a little more confusing to operate, but it works the same.

Lucky SOB.
