I'd love to see a custom set of 10 hole wheels under my truck that are 15"x8.5" with an inch less backspacing. I love the look of my wheels... there just needs to be more. On a more sensible note, I'd put the money into silly little things and tires. Probably a little more lift with a spacer up front, a set of 2wd leafs set SOA, 1" wheel spacers, wiring swap from a '97+ XJ, 33"x10.50" Mickey Thompson MTZs,... um... is that $1500? Hmm... I could find more. :dunno:

I know... I know... Both the '91 and the gray '88 are going to stay how they are through winter. The main truck is the '88 since it has 4wd and the '91 is for the couple times a week when the wife and I can't car pool so I really can't tear into either right now. Eh... that's okay. I couldn't stand to see this truck go to waste even i it sits until after winter. :wrench:

I suppose it's time to update this before the Eliminator goes into storage tomorrow.

Delphi.

Made it home with no blown fuse.

Went out and started this little guy to keep the juices flowing. Been sitting for a week and the battery was anything but alive. Eh... sounded great once it started! The '91 was nice enough to give it's new clothes a jump. Not sure if I want to spoil any surprises just yet, but I got another future project moved over to this truck for winter storage.

Thanks. :thumbsup: I put a new fuse in there and it started right up. If it should happen again... being that I still have a 70 mile drive home... anything that I should look for if it happens again?

Went through all of the fuses under the hood. Big green 30 amp fuse for the engine control... why would that have blown? Well, it did. I'll change it out, but what can I look for as to why it went bad? There doesn't look like there was anything too dirty or wet in the fuse block... :hmm:

I've been having issues with my '91 HO 4.0L as far as fuel delivery. Started with the balast resistor: changed the electrical ends and it ran great for a while. Then it started acting up again... did a pressure and leak down test and signs pointed to the pump. Sure enough, the pump was failing. New pump in it and now it left me stranded 70 miles from home. I do not have power going to the pump with the key on. When I jump the wiring for the pump, it engages and puts pressure to the system but will not start the engine. I have jumped the fuel pump relay as well. Swapped around the relay with the starter and auto-shutdown relays and everything remains the same. So, how do I go about checking whats next? Is there something else I'm not checking for the injectors? Maybe CPS? Thanks everyone! :bowdown: edit... tried checking codes too. I've done it in the past, but won't even give me a "55" now. Won't give anything.

... also wanted to add that I started with a first printing of 30 calendars. As of now, 19 are spoken for. If I need to put in an order for more I will. Not that this needs to hinder anyone from ordering one... keep it rolling!

Alrighty! First round of calendars going out tomorrow. :clapping:

How convenient! You wanted me to buy the first one so you could see it... I didn't, but it's closer to you anyhow! What a guy, hu? So accommodating! :D Welcome Tempest! Yet another member in the MN chapter... our numbers are growing strong! How is it that you're in MN, but yet your trucks look mostly clean of rust?

Well, when it rains... it pours. Yes, this one makes #4. Ready for a story? Here we go: A couple weeks ago, a friend of mine approached me about splitting the cost of an ’89 Sportruck. The back story behind the truck is that is came up from Florida about three years ago and has never been through a Minnesota winter. My buddy wanted it for the engine since his ’87 XJ is pushing 300,000 miles and has some major blow-by. This one was supposedly gone through around 15,000 miles ago. The top side looks really good and clean while the bottom does have an oil leak. It has lots of power and is kinda fun to drive! My plans? It’s a rust free MJ!!! What couldn't I do with it?! Since I picked up my ’91 from xjrev10 (viewtopic.php?f=7&t=32370) I've had a couple issues with it but everything has been for the most part good. The main problem is the rust… lots and lots of it! This little guy has some problems of its own as well. Mostly wiring but also some janky suspension modifications. Another feature is that the axle has been welded so everytime you take a corner you feel like you're in an episode of "Chips". The factory harness under the hood looks very hacked and the fuse block has seen better days too. What to do now? Put the two together. After winter, the entire drive train from the ’91 will get swapped over into its new body. Suspension… it’s scary. Someone just tack welded some pipe into the spring seat giving it 3” up. The rear is more of a pleasure to look at. Some kind of crazy shackle looking thing made of steel bar stock with some holes drilled in it. No bushing. No gussets. Not even any bends to go from inside the frame to the outside dimension of the leaf spring. These things clunk. Overall, I’m happy with it. The plan for the ’91 was to put some floors, rockers, and box sides on it. This is going to be a huge time saver for me! And it’ll leave the ’91 frame and box open for another project… but that’ll have to wait for another post. :brows:
