Jeep Driver

Here, today, the first 80s XJ to arrive at our PullaPart in two years. That's right, two years. This is an indicator. And I have posted this link before, stated the same just about a week or so ago regarding no XJs. https://www.pullapart.com/inventory/search/?LocationID=10&MakeID=29&ModelID=239&LocationPage=true

You do realize that I was not even speaking to you? or about you? nor was I addressing anything you said? You realize that, right?

It's an indicator of what's available. Both of you are wrong in telling these people to continue to rape and pillage till there is nothing left.

Craigslist is an indicator. I just searched all of GA, there are two 1988 XJs for sale in ALL of GA. I know the SE, you may know the NE and maybe where you are there are plenty. The SE has dried up, I keep telling you, you keep ignoring me. Here are the two listings- https://auburn.craigslist.org/search/sss?sort=rel&query=1988+jeep+cherokee https://atlanta.craigslist.org/search/sss?sort=rel&query=1988+jeep+cherokee Will he have a hard time finding a used AW4? probably not. But to the point of plenty of XJs? No, there is not.

This is why there aren't many left.

This is the quandary, isn't it? Not just yours but everyone's. As someone who's been through 5 transmissions.........my next one will be new, not used, not rebuilt, new.

The only decks I'm aware of with blades in line are 'timed' with a cog belt. And they will hit each other if out of time. The other- my guess would be 2x6 .25 wall stood up.

5-10% off a 20% markup? I'm a proper shopper, just me, it's BS. Retailmenot is the greatest of all wastes of time. Tale of two shocks- Years ago, I followed the sheeple to Rockauto. KYB shocks, in two months one lost it's gas. I realized quickly that a return was foolish and at my expense. And I'd wait two weeks for these idiots fiddle-f around. Go to youtube and look up Rockauto........I'll never order from these people again. Last year, bought a set of Bilsteins from Summit. One was shipped with no bushings (arrived next day), I called, they immediately shipped out a replacement and a return label at their expense. No hassle, no questions, no BS. And they sent me a replacement before I sent back the original. Customer service has value, tremendous value. So, you save $2.84 on an item with your coupon code? I'll gladly pay triple your savings for quality customer service and quick ship. Study, actually study Advance's marketing and markup practices, I'm not the fool they'd like to think I am. Speed Hut. I ordered $1200 worth of gauges late June, I had not yet received them before Speed Hut had a 4th of July sale. I emailed and requested that they honor they sale price. Couple days later I got a revised receipt, couple days later I was refunded nearly $200. That is customer service and it's priceless. Reputable merchants, quality parts, fair prices = VALUE! Shop smartly.

I've been through them all and have found them to be generally a waste of time.

Fluid is not supposed to be dark and burnt, combined with the fact you are getting no reaction...... Maybe time for a new one.

Also- Run a jumper off the solenoid, tap the other end of the jumper to the POS side of the battery, if the starter spins but does not engage- check battery cables or battery is dead.

Run the black/white to ground, see if that completes the start circuit.

I think you are answering your own question.

A blonde hair?

Actually, according to the chart below, the 5/16 bolt rating is double that of the 1/4. https://www.boltdepot.com/fastener-information/bolts/US-Recommended-Torque.aspx You would not torque a .75" 1/4" bolt the same as you would a 4.5" 5/16" bolt anyway. You don't plan on using a torque wrench, do you?

The input/output shaft shares a seal. At least mine does, yours should too.

My guess- fuel pump or pump relay.

I have a tight, clean, ZJ fast box on the MJ, well worth the effort.

Unibody- to the extent that it works, or doesn't work- designers and engineers.......that's another thread/discussion. Each piece adds strength, each piece deflects or transfers or absorbs energy, that's how it works. Regardless of what we think should or should not be.

The county rag blames the train when clearly is that the truck driver's fault. I sat out the very first election, local or national, since 1986, I've never missed the opportunity to vote.......civic duty and all...... It just doesn't matter anymore, same families, same names, same PsTB.........the people here are so stupid. Do what you did, get what you got.

Find one when you need one. Yes, wish I had another to sell. I paid $300 for my NOS TB.

If I'm fortunate, I've got 20 productive years left, I'm no longer worried about the future. Wife and I have a 10 year plan. The crotch of TN, VA, NC, is still nice and quiet, in the next couple of years we will begin looking for a few acres up there to build our own house. Then I could still work out of Bristol or Johnson City, when I want to. My son will be out on his own, we will be at the height of expansion here and I should be able to get premium dollar for my house, wife and I will finally be free to do what we want. My wife has been raising kids for 36 years and I have been for 32 years, it's time for a little selfishness. Ten years ago we left the congestion of a major metro for the quiet peaceful life of small town USA, I was delusional. The Bible Belt, where people were friendly, warm, honest, trustworthy, kind, and most importantly, -Godly-, WTF?, again, I was delusional. Churches are political, where deals are made and 'god' is used was a weapon to destroy enemies or to corral the sheeple into submission. Cliques, you are either in, or out, once you are out, there's nowhere else to go. You never ever question authority here. Think you'll find panacea in a small town? Think again. Think of an hourglass, Newport is the meter of the hourglass. We were supposed to get a Newport bypass, connecting 321 to the north to 321/411 to the south, a direct route to Pigeon Forge/Seveirville/Gatlinburg. Construction was supposed to begin 5 years ago. The county just completed an 8 mile stretch of 321 to the south, a highway to nowhere. From what I hear the PTB are dragging their feet on the bypass because they fear that the bypass will reduce business traffic through town, backwards thinking. Cherokee Nation Forest/Gatlinburg is the most visited national park in the country, that's where the money is, that's why I work there, and the people are slightly more metropolitan. Those of us who need to get through town, just need to get through town, and trust me, Newport has little to offer anyway. There is a lot of truck traffic here with ConAgra to the east and Bush Bean to the west, and a lot of through traffic also, trucks have no business downtown but they are forced to come through anyway. E TN really should be it's own state, we have nothing in common with W TN, middle TN just doesn't matter much. I could drive to Montreal faster than I can to the TN/MO line, that's how wide TN is. E TN is desperate to attract major enterprise, automakers top the list, infrastructure is being built all around us, highways and gas lines and so forth. When it comes, and it will, this area will explode. Large businesses have been reluctant to come here because the labor force is so......well.......pathetic, if one exists at all, but that is changing with the influx of us foreigners. Cheap land and no income tax, and state tax incentives are paving the way. The few here with any ambition at all are waiting, waiting for an entire generation to die, it's sad but it's true. Change comes slowly, I guess. It was a simple truck/train incident, so why all the blathering? Pete has tried desperately to get you guys talking. To no avail. Are Jeep people this boring? or have people in general become a bore? Or do I just piss you off? Sheeeesh...............

I'm not arguing, just explaining my answer. My wife was hit broadside at about 35mph, totaled. Floor creased and rose up, would have been much worse without any lateral bracing at all. In fact, you can see what looks like the end of what you are calling rail brace at the bottom of the door.......the impression of a brace. You can imagine what a 50+ mph impact might look like. Space gets real tight.
