  1. Any numbers on them? Chances are they are made by the same guys who make all the lift coils. RE, Rusty's, Terra, etc all use the same supplier I'm pretty sure. Making coils in house would jsut be way too expensive, so all the lift manufacterors outsource their coils,
  2. Go back up around some trees. They pop right off. Sometimes the bumper goes with them. And the header panel.
  3. Give me your email and I'll send you two pages out the FSM that cover radio removal. It tells you how to take the firt bit apart, from there it's self explainitory...
  4. Looks good. Now cut some fenders and get some larger tires..
  5. Ditto that. I've got one in my front, and it kicks @$$. Handles fine on road in both 2wd and 4wd (no vac disco). And works like a charm off road. That or lincoln lock the front if you have a working vac disco.
  6. It only happens when it is warm, well, hot. So it's really annoying to figure out what is doing it. Long as it's cold, it idles fine. Once I've driven it for about a half hour, I put the clutch in and it stalls. With some slight foot manipulation I can keep it alive at stoplights. It was doing this when I was wheeling it too... So, I cleaned the TPS. Doesn't seem to have fixed it. I didn't have time to drive it long enough to see. What else would be a likely problem? The EGR valve?
  7. I'll need your email... I only found two relevent pages, but it gets you threw the first hurdle. I can remember from when I stripped mine that I couldn't find anything after these two pages, but it was no big deal... Oh, I got my knee in the one pic. It looks odd.
  8. Yeah, get the manual, it's pretty complex. Or, you might be able to talk me into taking a few pics of the relevent pages in mine...
  9. Lots of screws. Some of the inner stuff is rivited. Basically, if it won't come off, force it. If it breaks, get a replacement from the bone yard.
  10. I think that he's getting at that it won't fit.
  11. Maybe I should push them out an inch or so, won't hurt. I think it only looks off centre because I didn't trim enough in the back. I'll fix that too...
  12. It's crappy tire bedliner. Seems pretty tough, and non-slip; so when I have to crawl out of my window and onto my hood I won't fall in the mud... The rear bumper is going to get hacked and shortened. Then I gotta find some other lights. :roll: Unless I can work those stockers in.
  13. I took a few more: This is the only "Before" pic that I actually have. Notice the crange... Image Not Found And now: Image Not Found Image Not Found Image Not Found Image Not Found I didn't get the exhaust done yet either. I've got the pipe to run it up the back of the cab... And like I said, I need to trim some more.
  14. Or you can run the peugeot until it breaks. Chances are it won't strand you when it breaks, you'll just lose 1st or Reverse or something.
  15. They were stock jeep fare. You could get them on MJs and XJs, maybe YJs too. The aluminum ones will be where it's at, I'd think.
  16. No, it's my poor photography. That and I've got a couple more inches to cut out there.
  17. Thanks Pat. :cheers: I'd thought about the rear shocks a lot and figured I'd mount them so they were triangulated towards the rear. Either by welding some brackets to the existing X-memeber or building a new one. I just threw them on there as-is to make it driveable. And I've got more trimming to do! I have to have the flares on there for it to be legal :roll: . And those doors come off. Just mud/water/snow and mild trails really don't warrant pulling them off.
  18. Or, if those are seized, take the bed off. Makes it a snap.
  19. I've got a peugeot, without a radio it's ANNOYING. *Whir whir whir* *Click* *Thump* *Buzzzzzzzzzzzit* *Whir whir whir* And I'm in second gear just like that.
  20. Image Not Found Wasn't too bad. I need to deal with the rear shocks; one of them bottomed out and moved its mount... The front needs some more trimming too. Oh, and I need to finish my exhaust and throw some decking on it. And bumpers! Need those, just about lost my headlights. Man, that's a crappy pic. Ohwell.
  21. I declared war on the hornets with a can of carb cleaner and a propane torch. I'm alergic to the bastards, so I didn't feel bad watching them shrivel up and burn.
  22. What's the standard size for a radio? I have an aftermarket deck (clarion or some BS, it plays MP3 CDs :bowdown: ) and it fit with only moderate cussing and a bit of bloodshead. Speakers in the doors are 4". The speakers behind the doors were probably 4x6 stock. I'm not sure. Something I ment to do but never bothered. And an 87 would be a 2.5/AX5/NP231.
  23. If you reuse the MJ spring plates, the shock mounts are already on them. And you're going to be out say, 5/8th of an inch on each side. That is, the Xj is 5/8" wider on each side. Maybe. Nobody knows for sure because we suck with tape measures. You could be lazy like Pete and extend the perches and drill a new centre hole. Your pinion angle won't be lovely like that. Actually, wait, you want to go SOA while you do this? XJs are SOA stock, MJs are SUA stock. The old spring perches will be totally useless if you aren't going SOA.
  24. I wasn't going to say anything, but I don't have a swaybar, haven't for a long time... Doesn't handle too bad. You just have to remember you're driving a heep. Actually, it drives way better with the radius arms than it did with the stock 5-link.
