87MJTIM

Why do you spell it wrong? ;) Explain to your son "colour" vs. "color" and why it is "zed" vs "z."

Hey, I live in New Market, too! That's in Maryland, USA - a little bit south of you.

Is the shifter from a YJ? Those are taller and straighter. The MJ/XJ shifter are shorter and angle back.

I'm going to go through withdraws tomorrow!

Roads? What roads?

The same article was in the Washington ComPost today. (Certainly not a 'Right-wing, extremist rag'. More likely the opposite extreme.)

Was '99 the first year of the 0331 cylinder head? Not a major drawback, but something to keep in mind.

Test the CPS. Cruiser has a detailed list of procedures for the Renix MJ/XJs. www.cruiser54.com Also, check out http://www.lunghd.com/Tech_Articles/Engine/Basic_Sensors_Diagnostics.htmfor a fuller understanding of the Renix sensors.

#1 is the vacuum line for the map sensor. There is only one line out. The other hole doesn't go through to the TB. #2 & #3 is the temper gauge/idiot light wire and sensor/switch. Looks like the plug and sensor are mis-matched. #4 You're probably correct, but I am not sure. #5, # 6 & #7 - :dunno: #8 could be for the under hood light. Doesn't look like yours has one. I would be bolted to the hood just above the coolant bottle.

You mean your keyboard swapped an "S" instead of "F"? Think about it.

Yes. It's the same windshield for all 7 yrs of the MJ. Also, for the XJ from 84 to (at least) 96.

:doh: You're correct. My fingers were typing faster than my brain. But, yes, a new slave cyl is necessary.

Your signature says "1998 shortbed." I will assume that it is a 1989 MJ. Also, you have an AX15. Is it an internal slave cylinder? I will also assume it is since '89 first got the AX15 internal slaves. The through-out bearing seal may have a diagonal cut in it. When you drive forward, the cut is closed; you leak fluid slowly. When you go into reverse, you open the cut; you lose fluid quickly. Either way, the slave cyl needs replacing.

:clapping: :crossfingers: :thumbsup: Thx!

It was nice seeing other CC members and their MJs. It was also good to see lots of other jeeps. I will not enter my MJ next year. The show doesn't favor "stock" Jeeps. Too many JKs and heavily modified XJs. The best stock Jeeps are older CJs/MBs and FSJs. I will still go to shop around.

My 87 has the off-road package. It has the D44, heavy duty alternator

That thought had crossed my mind. The HOA frowns on storing cars on properties. I dislike HOAs

(I am not a "computer" expert by any stretch.) Other forums allow members to directly upload pictures and videos on the chat board. Is this feature available through the current web hosting company? For example, Jeepforum allow direct upload capabilities. However, with all the ads on the site, it takes DAYS for pages to load and refresh.

The 86 in the JY here locally still has the spare up under the bed. Are those hooks only for 86? Was this a transition year? Would it be worth getting?

I got it!

3/4 clusters were mostly complete gauge set, minus tach. Still had a large fuel gauge. You are correct Crash. There is no tach. The fuel gauge is large and in the place of the tach. The lower left of the cluster (where the fuel gauge would go) is blank.

86 was only long beds. It is not bad. There are some vertical cracks on the side. Could not see the bottom - junk was thrown in it.

Update: I just stopped in and ordered the following: Rear fender flares Rear bed light Cluster (3/4 cluster) Clock Radio (will send to Minuit) Tailgate What it still has: D35 Spare tire hanger Load sensing valve Interior is in good condition Bench seat just needs cleaning - no cuts or tears Rear cab panel and plastic cap. B-pillar panels Head liner is intact - fabric is sagging in a couple locations The bed is dented, but no visible rust. 10 slotted grill (bumper is pushed in warping the grill, but I think it would straighten up fine)
