Can't. Don't have a way to get to a sandblaster.

Here it is http://m.youtube.com/#/watch?v=SmkM-sqRCjk&desktop_uri=%2Fwatch%3Fv%3DSmkM-sqRCjk

I went with a pacesetter header to 2.5 inch pipe , to a high flow cat and a magma flow muffler dumping behind the cab. I think it sounds good and had a unique sound that most exhaust on 4.0s don't. Mine is a 88 btw. I have a video but let me find it.

I blew the 35 a few months ago and have been staring up the jeep every other week or so and driving it around the block in 4hi just to get fluids moving. Basically driving it in front wheel drive. I have noticed if I give it some heavy gas it will bog down down and hesitate. Any ideas?

Yea but to get it powder coated its going to cost 200. I'm just going to have to sand it down myself and rattle can it. It's just going to be a pain in the @$$ to sand that expanded metal.

got in touch with them again today. they let me buy one rusted for 150

That's what I'm trying to do but their Customer service is terrible

Yes. From www.globalpartsinc.com

No I already sent the roof rack back because he said he would send me a new one with no rust on it. I'm flipping pissed now. They are not returning my emails. This is the ONLY roof rack that will fit on the cab. I looked for hours. Now WTH am I suppose to do.

WTF?!??

I had this problem And it was my u joints on my front drive shaft. They had play but not a whole llot. However had the same shaking problems through steering wheel and dash.

Thermostats open and close at the temps they are rated at. When the engine is cold ( under the 195 mark) the thermostat stays closed and recirculates the coolent through the engine until it warms up. When it is above 195, the thermostat will open up and send the coolent through the radiator to cool it down before it goes back through the engine. When they fail they start to stick open or closed. Therefore it could be sticking closed and that's where ur getting the spikes. However if you want to test it. Simply take a cruise without it in and see if anything changes. If it doesn't then put it back in because its not the problem. My gfs dad had probs like you were describing in his ranger and it was the head gasket. It would even spike up and then get cool as u are saying. Which doesn't make since to think it is a head gasket issue if its doing that, but turns out it was.... The only other thing I can think of is air pockets in the system which also make since if your saying it creeps going up hill. Gravity would cause that air pocket to go to the highest spot in the engine which would be thermostat housing. Which in turn would freak out the thermostat. Those are my thoughts. Hope you can find the issue soon. I know it can be a pain, I was dealing with them about 8 months ago. Again sorry for typos, this is coming from a phone.

Nice looking to see how this turns out. I'm Putting a roof rack on my mj right now too.

If its overheating at idle or stop and go traffic you have a problem with air flow( fan, fan clutch,) if ur over heating at highway speeds then its got to be a cooling issue ( rad, thermostat, water pump, ect.) also I would not suggest putting a 180 thermostat in. You are covering up you problem with a bandaid if you do that. If they put 195s in from the factory and were designed like that and didn't over heat then why is yours? There is obviously no need do something but a stock thermo because the problem is else where. Keep us updated. And sorry for any typos, this is from a phone.

Has no one mentioned that you head gasket could be going?

Looks like you have quite a few hoses missing. Look up the vacuum hose scimatics. Should tell you everything. You are suppose to have 3 hoses going into your air box in your picture. 1 of those smaller hoses affect how the truck runs. With yours being no existant you should have a very high idle right now. And yes you are missing the hose on the egr also

Thanks!

No welding on the mounts this weekend. Hopefully next weekend....

Idk it prob would

yea the truck has been laid on its side

got the roof rack in Monday and was very disappointing. There was powder coat chipping a flaking off like crazy. I'm guessing they didn't clean the oils and surface rust off the rack before they painted it. I called the company and sent them pictures and the offered me $10.00 off if i kept the rack?!?!?! I said no because it could cost me way more than that to go get it powder coated again. So, the ended up emailing me a return label to ship the rack back and the are sending me a new one. But anyway, you know I had to do a test fit to see how it looked. Also my JCR brackets came in today. Hopefully Ill have the mounting system welded up this weekend.

Like I said. Sounds EXACTLY like my problems.

Yes!!! It would just randomly sputter and die. Would turn over and try to start but wouldn't. Same problem there was very little or no apart will trying to turn it over after it died. It would eventually start for me if I let it sit. Sometimes 15 mins, sometimes over night. The TPS was 100% the problem. Sometimes the voltage and ohms would read right and sometimes nothing. Put a MOPAR TPS in and it ran perfect and fixed all problems after that.
