You'll probably find 3/4 of the clips will be garbage afterwards... Plan on getting a few more.

New brackets would probably be more ideal. However, not running front leafs would work even better... I used waggy fronts. They worked. It was tall.

Is the 6.7 physically bigger than the 5.9? I've seen a 5.9 (12v) in a YJ. It'd be a hard swap though.

This thing: Image Not Found I've had it a while now.

My MJ is in Vernon, about an hour south of Kamloops. Currently I'm a LOT farther north than that.

Hell no! That's the reason I bought the truck. And I plan on having it last me at least another 5 years. I spent way too much on it to pile it up now... And once I do, it's going in an 80's chevy chassis.

Image Not Found Maybe that'll answer any questions anyone has ever had about me?

I'm doing mine... Progress will resume in the spring... I re-located my gas tank. Then built a new crossmember to hang the links off of, ad it sits just in front of where the old leaf pockets were. Otherwise it's just a normal dual trinagulated 4-link.

Helicopters are inherently unstable. They don't acually fly, they just vibrate until the earth rejects them.

Doorless ain't legal here (not like any of the rest of the truck is) so I don't worry about mirrors. They can be handy on the trail (watch the back tires) but nomally they just get destroyed.

I live in Dawson Creek... No commute, but it's a bit cold. We haven't got much snow yet though. :nuts:

Should look alright... I like my new yorker ones.

So, what's not single shear about a TRE? I know of some nice heims with teflon races that would work good for steering, but I'd probably not use them of anything that was driven a lot. I think they'd last fairly long, but I can't be certain. Typical heims don't.

Sounds awesome. I might have to till a weekend for that one.

Called an 'hour of power' or a centurion. Hour of power is 60 shots in 60 minutes, centurion is 100 in 100...

Do it right, and no... Most of the aftermarket steering upgrades get you to do that.

Ream out the pitman arm, or buy a waggy one.

Pingpong has an XJ with a 4.3 in it. Hard swap? Wouldn't say so, just a lot of stuff that has to be done. Is it a TBI engine, or vortec, or carbed? I'd not bother with a carbed setup, unless you ran propane, but that's a hole 'nother bridge. You'll need some funky headers, or the stock cast exhaust manifolds. You'll need to adress the fuel system (depending on type). You'll need another tranny - whatever you have now will probably not be up to a 4.3 on way or another. The one in the van may or may not be useable. Then there's cooling. A 4.0 rad would get the job done. And you'll need to change your fan setup - I'd suggest electric. You can buy motor mounts from AA. I'd probably not.

We were drinking, and some how I wound up with a caramel bailey's and coke mix. It curdled up to the point it was so thick that it hardly flowed. Unfortunatly, being a retard, I ATE it. Not drank, ate. I am hating life with a passion right now. It's beyond pepto bismol.

Awesome beater.

I have about 10" lift with 37s. I think it's too tall, but it isn't tippy or anything.

It's based on the principle that the acetone will lower the vapour point or decrease surface tension of the gasoline. With a carb it might work. With a EFI engine you're going to see nothing, other than the inreased cost of the acetone. However, it will pull water and contaminantes out of your fuel system, whic might help (basically acts as injector cleaner). Would I do it? Hell no. And E85 is a joke. It takes more energy to make it than there is in it. It survives on government subsidies. Give it time, it'll go.

For it to sit level I would guess you'll need 10-12". Spacers and coils...

Only if you have a leak... Or, sometimes salt/dirt/water gets trapped behind the factory rubber inner fender guards and will put a nice hole into the floor there and you'll have problems in a short order as more stuff can get in. Both my MJs were rock solid (my 86 had just a skiff of surface rust on the floor) but my XJ was a pile due to the inner fenders. It depends what has happened in the truck's life.

Exactly! They're cheap, and when they go bad they should be replaced. And comanches had a few benefits from the factory that other trucks didn't. They zinc-plated the actual uniframe on them, which really prevents corrosion. And factory undercoating is fairly common, which keeps the whole underside totally peachy. Which is nice if you want to try a resto. There's a few parts that are bad for rust though (above the wheel wells in the bed, inside the cab at the rear corners, the whole rockers actually).
