  1. Contact jeepair.com and see if they can help you.
  2. I did the 8.25 swap with the '94zj disc brake swap. With exception of enlarging the backing plate with a sanding drum, the disc swap was easy. Had to do the longer wheel studs as well. The load sensing valve I swapped with an adjustable prop valve.
  3. General spring is where I got mine.
  4. Ditto on backer board with plastic trim under window.
  5. When you did the injectors, did you change the fuel regulator?
  6. I wouldn't think a flanging tool would be needed, but I could be wrong. This looks like a lower door seam repair. You grind away the seam this side while leaving the tailgate 'skin' alone. With the doors I've dealt with, the skin was rusty on the inside not needing replaced, but the seam as well as some adjacent metal needs replaced. You maintain the edge as best you can, leaving the skin alone as much as possible and cut back this side of the seam. I would bet once he hits it with a grinder, its not as bad as it looks.
  7. One more trick I like to do is clamp or drive screw new patch panel over the rusted panel I'm cutting. That way i'm cutting the old piece with the new piece at the same time and the edges match exactly. This is done when you want to butt weld pieces together.
  8. Find a replacement tailgate is a good option if that's within your means. If it was mine, I would try fixing it first, but I've got the time and I've had previous experience dealing with rust. But also keep in mind that 1 inch of visible rust you see usually gives way to more hidden interior rust..... I would use a pneumatic cutoff wheel to cut what needs cutting and use that waste for a template to replicate new patch. Prep all metal to get good welds with a grinder. Any areas that have rust inside I would Por15 the heck out of it. Be sure to use weld primer where needed. You don't need to reproduce the seam exactly but create a flange to fasten one side of tailgate to another side. I hope you're able to save the gate.
  9. My '88 has black, black with white stripe and pink (not red). Black is ground. Black with white strip is the switch wire and the pink or red is the power fused wire.
  10. Posting some pics would help.
  11. Refresh your grounds?
  12. I was able to reuse mine and have a layer under the carpet of Reflectix found at Lowe's. But you could try using something like summit racing product 721202. It looks promising.
  13. I like the 2 door xj door version. It looks promising.
  14. Can I switch it with an XJ/MJ one? Do you have to unbolt from transmission or can you push down and rotate and switch shifter? You're correct. No unbolting is necessary. There's a spring loaded 'bushing cap' that holds the lever in place. You just push down and, I think, rotate counterclockwise and the shifter will come off. It'll take you both thumbs to compress the spring to rotate. Use mechanic gloves because you can cut yourself doing it.
  15. I had same problem. My housings had power but wouldn't power the bulbs everytime I rocked them on. Converted to new after market led bulbs with housings and now they work like the day I drove it home the first day.
