  1. An XJ is an XJ, MJ is an MJ. You guys have not snapped a rear spring bolt on a XJ yet.
  2. ACC is not that bad. Installing carpet in a truck is not as easy as you might think, I screwed up the first time, my fault. Second time I ordered the standard carpet, no mass backing, much much better fit. Second one is out because the entire interior will be replaced, third time is a charm. There is no doubt that the complaining is coming from guys that screwed up then blamed ACC.
  3. There's no doubt you can. I pulled 4K with a clapped-out 2.5 daily for nearly a year. Never a concern for suspension nor axles. Brakes. There is no way stock Jeep brakes are going to panic stop 10K gross. P3s on both my trucks.
  4. Perfect, thank you. Good ideas here. :thumbsup:
  5. I like the way you installed your radiator, which one did you use? Efan or mech? Any problems with cooling? Do you have a forward pic?
  6. If I do go with the early knuckle, do any of you have any experience with Synergy or Currielync complete steering packages?
  7. Any good auto parts store will have the links. You'll need to go back to clean wire, solder and heat shrink, also I would solder the connector end and heat shrink that also. I don't know what the values are, no one I asked knew either, I'm going to guess at 25-30 amps but they are slow burning, I would not replace with a standard fuse. OP, no work around, no by-pass........replace the link.
  8. I'm not going to decipher this thread.......... Are you referring to the fused links that come off the starter relay and run back into the harness?

  10. "Media Mail" USPS has special rates for media. My wife is a librarian, she ships a lot of books, tapes, CDs....etc... $2 to $3 for those three books..........cheap, and most folks don't know to ask for it.
  11. Happy for you! Wife and I talk often about building a small cottage in our later years.........which aint far off. Nothing wrong with small, very manageable.............and a 6 car garage. :)
  12. FWIW to ya, looks like your rear shocks are upside down.
  13. So-called smartphones I'm not going to correct my post but I assumed you got it
  14. If I remember correctly I disconnected and plugged the known line to the sensor at the Block then I had my wife tap on the break and I watched which one squirted out fluid I cut the other one off to the fuel tank I later remove the entire line when I remove the fuel tank
  15. Yeah, well, few people ever agree with me, either. There are VERY few things that JB Weld is good for, this is one of them. You still have some thread left from what I can see. Clean it up, maybe even stuff a bit of rag in the hole that you can remove with tweezers, use a Dremel, denatured alcohol, whatever it takes. JB the threads and the mating surface, thread it back in gently, let it set up over night.
  16. :) I find it to be hilarious myself. When I go SBC I'm keeping the cans and tips :) :)
  17. Just posting some pics tonight. I replaced my rear soft line with braided ss today, couple of inches longer too. In the last couple of weekends, I pulled the front axle AGAIN, cleaned up, painted (again). This time I raised the front 1.25" and pushed it forward 7/8". New shocks, new yoke, and new JKS track bar. I also filled in the passenger side UCA mount.
  18. If it's the ball type, one port says VAC on it, this line goes to the manifold. The other line goes to the charcoal canister and is tee'd off to the heat/AC controls.
  19. So, you completed this with no external valve, and? How do they feel?
  20. I just replaced mine, Bosch. Once I installed a pressure gauge I realized that when I blipped the throttle the pressure would drop from 14lbs to 8lbs, so I replaced it. Now it drops from 14lbs to 12lbs for a split second, IOWs the new Bosch barely keeps up. Not impressed. Also, it came with no hardware and was NOT OEM in shape, I had to adapt the brackets to make it fit. [/url] Just one of 62 reasons I plan to repower, AMC/Chrysler support is becoming nonexistant.
  21. Will the JK (Wrangler) drag link fit a WJ knucke.....IOWs.....do they share the same taper? Have any of you successfully adapted aftermarket calipers to the WJ knuckle? I'm looking at Baer, Wilwood, SSBC...........etc....... I want to go to the 350mm rotor. I'm aware of the early XJ knuckle but I want crossover steering. I'm not considering the 1 ton stuff that everyone is pushing, not interested. I am interested in this- https://www.quadratec.com/products/56119_0091_07.htm Do any of you have any experience with cartridge type rod ends? I'm not ruling out the early knuckle but I would like to use the WJ knuckle. I'm not ruling out Vanco.......but........... I called Wilwood, they have nothing for the WJ, problem is, it's going to get real expensive to buy parts to mock up. I'm looking for 4-6 pot calipers and I'm aware of the Cadillac CTSV.........possible and affordable, but, again, mock-up gets expensive. Thanks.
  22. I'm not a hat rack. :)
  23. My block looks nothing like your block.........apparently. Don't know what to tell ya. Edit: sorry, mine does look like the MJ block posted above,
