I Love my Country Edition XJ. Yours looks like a great starting point especally for 1k Keep us updated :cheers:

Well ive decided I'm gonna upgrade my cluster since i gotta mess with my speedo cable either way. Anyway if ya have a Renix Full Cluster let me know and throw me an offer. Thanks!

Yeah i know.....i guess ill pull out the current cluster and lube up the cable, that way ill atleast get an idea of whats involved back there and if a 88-90 era cluster becomes available ill likely give that a go. I take it lubing/replacing a speedo cable is pretty striaght forward from what ive read :dunno: :smart:

Ha Ha Yep thats the 1st thing that came 2 mind......I was with a friend and after it began i said "You know you drive a Jeep when a problem arrises and you already begin on thinking about other things to replace/upgrade while doing the repair" Maybe i should just find a renix full cluster and upgrade that while I'm in there, or am i going overboard...lol :yes: :rotf:

Alright cool. Sounds like a small project to dig into this week. Should i lookin into just replacing the cable or will getting some lube in there be good enough?

Yeah the needle has become somewhat unstable and bouncy over the past week or so. Ive never messed with a speedo cable before and don't really know anything about where it is or anything on out trucks. I'm prepared 2 tear into the dash since i might as well replace a few bulbs in there as well.

Alright, well just today on a short Highway trip my Speedometer cable began making a very noticable squeeking noise. Does it just need lubed up, or possibly replaced. I know its the cable since it varies with speed and the noise is defently from inside the truck. Any other tips or anything else 2 look for. thanks

I noticed the same thing when i was redoing my floors, i simply capped off the frame rails and POR-15ed the caps and inside the frame. than just welded in the new floor, there is a gap but since everything is covered and coated i don't worry about it :thumbsup:

Those are simply vaccum caps.....theyre not connected to anything, mines the same way :thumbsup:

All TJs were LP Axles? i did not know that, i figured they would have switched when the XJs did. What was the purpose of a LP D30 anyway?

I acctually don't know if you could run a Stinger style bumper and i couldent find anything on how much protruding material was allowed to stick out, but I think theyre would be a rule somewhere aginst it, i just can't seem 2 find it. Yeah I'm currently not working for a shop anymore so I can't get my hands on emissions equipment....lol sorry

Correct, wether its a flatbed or just fenders something has 2 be overtop the wheels. I hold a current PA State Safety and Emmisions inspection license so feel free to ask any other questions as well

Puppy Bowl is pretty amusing though...lol Great Game, as a Dallas fan I'm glad 2 see the NFC take the Win :thumbsup:

Them little things seem really durable....that does look like a Blast! :yes:

Right around 2' here in South Central PA. Some shots of town from my rooftop

^^^ forgot to put "Owns a chevy" in his sig

Gulf Station for me.....Ethanol free means more MPGs and a happyer 4.0 in both vehicles :cheers: the rest have 2 much crap mixed in including Ethanol

also another tip, if it doesnt bother you during your repairs cut out a slot inside the fender to eliminate the shelf that mud and crap collects on and this will also allow you to clean out the inner fender easyer. It won't be visable to the casual viewer either.

Cleaned IAC Again and finally got a grease nozzle and greased up my front driveshaft joint. than went driving in the snow

Wow ive never seen a 97+ Idiot light gauge cluster like that :hmm:

Current- 88 SWB 4x4 4.0l AW4 D30/35 Sport Truck Past- Well hopefully this collum never gets any takers

Awesome^^^^ Your not 2 far away from me, I might have my MJ @ Carlisle this year just for the heck of it, idk but ill defently be there

^^^^^ Has a white MJ lol

Loose Spare tire in stock carrier? Exhaust hitting something? it could be a number of things, likely fairly noticable

I have an almost identical bumper sitting in my garage, just buy a set of those mounts for the MJ and have em welded on....ta da, ill sell it cheap, its just taking up space.
