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).

Anybody notice the missing parts? Somebody bit off more than they could chew.

Giving it hell? That was a sunday cruise if you ask me.

Is that Steven Colbert (spelling? pronounced col-bear) guy still in it? He'd get my vote. But I don't live there!

I hate D35s.

Not entirely true. Or apparently, from what I understand. With the GM style P/S boxes, they reach a certain point (which is iffy) and they automatically bypass the fluid to prevent stress on steering components. That can become iffy once you mess with the steering geometry (pitman arm, knuckles, etc) and the box may or may not bypass. However, typically it works out close enough and doesn't matter. And thus my hydro assist ram doesn't blow my knuckles off, despite it having 2" more travel than the rest of my steering. And FWIW, overheating a pump in such a manner (if it didn't bypass) is highly unlikely to me. That's a lot of sitting at the steering locks. And it'll probably hit 1200psi peak for a stocker. Which for short periods on such a pump is nothing. Yes, slow speed yarding it back and forth for soem time will overheat it...

Huh?

And jsut for the record, this is how I trimmed the front of my XJ... Image Not Found It had flares on it, hence there's holes...

Besides, having it my way it'd be trimemd more like this: Image Not Found

And I think we were sober.

They're 31x10.5s. That's a stock height XJ. Other than the sag and broken coil dropping it! Buddy showed up with it one day out of the blue and said "I've got mad rubbing, help me!" so we went to town. It's a rust bucket and had been in a couple accidents, so it wasn't like we were wasting time with the pretty BS.

It looks like he body is sill good... But I'm not exactly sober, so IDK.

I've never even drawn lines or masked it... Just get the angle grinder and give'r. Image Not Found That thing was a pile anyways, so we didn't even go for looking decent...

It's not worth it. Way too much money to change it. Buy a grand waggy diff if you want a LP D44.
