LOL....yea my digi cam is busted so i gotta do it the old fashion way...take pics and run them to walgreens and have a cd made...SOON I PROMISE

Update: I had to rebuild the steering column because the tilt was coming loose so its been down for a couple days b/c once i got in there most of the parts were broken, of course, so i have been replacing them. New parts going on this weekend: -picked up a 8.25 3.55 w/locker for $40 bucks everything is in good shape -installed my rockratz light bar w/ KC's...free b/c its off the MJ -scored a set of factory tow hook brackets and hooks for free..haha now i have some recovery points on the front!!! PICS UP SOON!!

Yea i was HOPING it wasnt that...motor only has 25K on it if that...i know its not the V/C because i cleaned that side of the motor off and then drove it and it clean above the head but not below it

Hey all..well my MJ has been down for suspension mods and interior restoration for the past 2 months..well i FINALLY got it on the road yesterday and it was awesome to drive her again...well i have an oil leak now.. its coming from the Passenger side of the block from between the head and block...its not the dipstick tube, oil sending unit, distributor, valve cover or the oil filter adapter as i have already reaplaced or resealed all of these items previously...now the leak was slight b4 i started working on the truck but now it worse...any suggestions on to what it is?

i had grizzley rims on my XJ...got rid of them and put on some black ones...much better IMO

SWEET...great to have another AZ MJ'r around!!

when ya ship my hat...throw in some business cards too :cheers:

I run a RK bar on my MJ now and have a MORE box brace and everything is awesome...so much better than my XJ with the rustys bar and box brace....i plan on pulling them off and tossing them out :D

its got a factory winch and bumper combo too....very nice :cheers:

UPDATES: -Got the water barrier stuff put on the floor and some new padding under the carpet -installed the carpet -all the plastic trim back in -seatbelts installed all thats left is to put the dash bezel back on, install the seats and center console, re-install my posi-lok lever and put my amp/subs back in and ITS DONE....FINALLY

is that 89eliminators :D

my "CHIEF" is jealous and so am i she looks purrrty :cheers:

i run BLACK OUT on all my tires...just looks better IMO

i don't recall anything going in there but a dummy plug...both of my jeeps (87MJ and 90XJ) have nothing but a "plug" in them to prevent a vacuum leak

My MJ as of right now has a RC 3" AAL and some daystar shackles and it netted me 4.5"...my front is sitting at 5" so i plan a SOA here soon I'm running 32*11.5*R15 BFG A/T on 15*8 RockCrawler rims with 3.75 B/S...no rubbing problems anywhere

Thats most likley been painted green...i have only seen chrome or black until the newer model came out and some of them have paint matching bumpers

here's what i have done twice with absolutley no problems, I used all 96 parts...runs cooler than before...i recommend it: 87 MJ: swapped a 3 row open style rad newer heater valve Flow Kooler water pump used a normal thermo housing (for the 87) replaced the overflow tank hoses new 90 XJ: swapped in a 3 row aluminum open rad replaced water pump with flow kooler high flow thermo housing off newer 97 cherokee(just plugged the temp port) Hoses new replaced heater valve new overflow tank The MJ is a 5spd but the rad has ports for A/T lines and the thermoswitch for the fan..my fan is run off a switch in the truck and i never use it...on the XJ its a AW4 and the rad also had the trans cooler lines and the thermoswitch fitting in the radiator which i use an it works as it should You don't necessarily have to change everything over just the radiator, overflow tank (or get a universal) and the heater valve..pretty much all i "swapped in"

yea most likely a d35...if you can post up a pic of it...its way easier to verify

you take the 2 sets of numbers and divide them and you get your gear ratio....39 divided by 11 is 3.55

More than likely a D35 and it should have 3.55...39/11=3.54

Lifted the front this past week: 3" rancho coils Rancho LCA RE quick disco's Rs9000 front shocks also put on some new 32*11.5*15 BFG A/T :cheers:

yup thats all i did....removed the MJ pedistals and did the same on the XJ seats and just swapped them...easy as pie

87 MJ: 4.0 5spd 6" lift 4.10's 33"............20-22MPG 90 XJ: 4.0 AW4 4" lift 3.55's 32"............18-19MPG

yea i know the feeling...it took us 9hrs to do the 3" kit the first time on the MJ....it was not fun... now the XJ i just put in 3" coils, LCA and shocks by myself and it took me only 1.5 hours... :D

Found 2 more MJ's at the J/Y next door to the other one i was at... :D 86 2.5 5spd 2wd LWB 4.10 D35 87 4.0 5spd 2wd LWB 3.07 D35 :cheers:
