My guess is not really. As a strip only thing, yeah, sorta... But most guys don't drive a 4oh/stroker like that.

Petty sure I got banned from jeepforum, again... I don't have a very good track record with them.

Send it back. Buy some long arms. I suggest rock krawler, or RE, or something. Better than that $#!&.

Hmm, I'm on a tour, and here it is only about 14* C as a maximum... Not gonna convert that, but it's fairly chilly. And it's windy/rainy every day. Nothing like what you're seeing.

I've broke that white plastic insert a couple times. I pulled it right off power shifting more than once. It's annoying. The shifter knob itself is fine, but the insert is junk.

I get about 1000km off 120L of diesel... Wanna figure that out? Okay, it's about 19.5mpg. Sometimes better, sometimes worse. That's with a cummins 6BT (5.9L) in a 6500lb truck. But, that's highly irrelevent info on a comanche forum, eh?

What could you possibly start? I HOPE there isn't anyone on this site who thinks that slavery shouldn't have been abolished.

It's suprising that there is not more V8 XJ/MJs around. I only know of a handful. It actually seems to work out decently. I mean if you can fit a BBC in a chevette, it really ought to be a breeze.

Just a FYI, if it's ment to bolt onto a 4.0L cherokee, it'll work on a 4.0L MJ. At least as far as underhood stuff goes.

I have weird taste in beer... 'Local' (Canadian) stuff. -Lucky lager (cheap junk, really good with clamato or excellent just for chugging) -Keith's Red -Okanagan Springs Pale Ale (brewed in my hometown) -PWB Canterbury (fake english beer, really cheap) -Pacific Genuine Draft (fake MGD, cheap, made by the PWB guys) Imported. -Guiness (it's beer) -MGD -Heineken But I drink pretty much everything and anything. Even budweiser. I just don't enjoy it.

Pirate4x4 has gone down hill. There used to be tech amongst the a$$holes. Now it's mostly just a$$holes. And I can't say that I like many of the other communities. Some I skim through but rarely post.

He thinks because he spent 'X' amount on it, that it is worth "initial purchasing price + X'. Which it isn't. I don't think it'll sell at all. It's nice, yeah... But not my thing. I hate the tire/rim combination for some reason, and I think it's lifted a bit much too perhaps.

I wouldn't call them rare yet, as some people would like you to believe. They'll get there soon enough though.

I'm with Pete on thinking they aren't lowered. They don't look it even with the body kit on it - the kit just hangs down. If I had one I'd wheel it. Am I evil? No, I'm joking, I'd sell it as I don't like the look and can't bother myself with collectables. If I wanted a street jeep, it'd be of my own concockting.

I'd use zinc chromate as a primer, if you can find it (probably not, seems it's been outlawed). It sticks to aluminum way better than other primers, and seals really well.

I like the propane, but it does not drive like the EFI does. My throttle bushings are wack (leaking), which is at least part of the problem. I have a new throttle plate on order to fix it. Otherwise I'm happy with it. It does what I expected. I don't know much about the self adjusters on these things, my cable doesn't have one. I think it was cut off when the tranny was pulled. I will have to get another one. I think I'll also look at the bracket design and try to figure out the pull ratio...

:nuts: My post had more words.

To me a monkey wrench is a crescent wrench is an adjustable wrench. Crescent wrench makes no sense, I actually have a set of crescent wrenches somewhere and they are crescent shaped, they're for accessing bolts put in retarded places (behind things) by the engineers who dreamed up the design for whatever I'm working on. Stilson was the guy who invented the pipe wrench. But I've only ever heard it called a pipe wrench... I think.

Hmm, I'm going to have to start calling a pipe wrench that - I've NEVER heard it before. Is it a demographic thing?

I need to hook one up to my throttle assembly... Lacking an automatic XJ to look at and understand the intended operation of the cable, I'm wondering if anybody can describe it to me? I'm assuming that as the throttle cable is pulled (throttle opened) the TV cable should be pulled too. Now is that an equal ratio? Or is it rigged at a different ratio to the throttle? Is there anything else about the operation that I need to know? I'm assuming you should set it up as slack (barely) at throttle closed? Think I know what I'm doing? Because I don't. I'm going to start reading my FSM (if I can find it) to see if it answer my questions too. For those who forget/don't know, I run propane and do NOT have a throttle body like you'd typically see. It's actually a 4bbl setup off the typical holley 650cfm carb. Also, anyone run a AWshifting setup? What are you using for a switch? I was just going to use a momentary rocker, but I can see that going downhill. I might need something taller and more stick like, but I am undecided.

Ya might want to spray some penetrating oil or such on the bolts a while before trying to pull them. If you live anywhere that stuff rusts, they'll probably be rather tight.

I'd buy them new from summit if I lived in the states. I never have great luck with used rims, they always seem to wind up less than ideal and they're always rusty. Summit sometimes does promotions on stuff and will offer free shipping or other jazz. Or if you can find a similar wheel cheaper, go for it. But basically I'd not bother with used unless you have way more time than money.

Congrats.

Yup.

I don't think they use the same alternator, so I figured there might be differences. Anyways, good to know. Thanks. I can continue to plan my insanity.
