I contemplated an open system conversion on my 89 but the only problem I have ever had with the closed system was the plastic tank. I went with Macs and so far am very pleased with the product.

Always bleed the complete system. Starting at the furthest point away from the master cylinder and working your way closer. This applies to any time you open the system. Trapped air=improper brake function. I have found on older vehicles often it will make significant improvements to braking just by bleeding the old system.

I just had the same issue on my 89. Cleaned the corrosion off the connectors for the ballast resistor and the problem is gone.

I too am running WJ arms. I purchased new ones from rock auto. I was a huge improvement in the ride and handling of my truck, but my stock bushings were shot.

Well I haven't updated this much due to the $ factor, but the ball is rolling again. Yesterday I finished my wj upper and lower control arms and new upper bushings, wow what a difference that made. It stopped alot of quirky handling and really tightened things up. She also got new shoes before winter. I went with 31" general grabbers, these things are great in the snow and ice, and as good as an at tire will get in the mud. I had to put my original header back on, I broke the 97+ one I bought, it was a cheap china one anyways. I am now in the market for a set of 97+ doors, fenders, and header panel before paint.... I am gonna try and snap some pics today of her up to date, no promises though I am bad about remembering things like that. Lol

My driver dour has a funny trick to it. If I push the outside button when Its locked I have to unlock it from the inside. I haven't figured it out, but it works until I find some 97+ doors

Me? I wheel probably more than any of you here! We're in Huntington as well. Couldn't help myself. I had to say it.

gunblad, I hope that wasn't a jab at me. It had to be at Adam...... I am in Huntington, and there is another member from here also. if you want to find some guys close to indy check out: bbb.jeepininin.com Pete, I hope I don't offend anyone posting a link to another board....

Mine is an olympic. However it has had the graphics removed.

I don't know for certain whether there is a difference auto to manual for the front shaft. Shoot me a pm with some details on yours and we will talk. :cheers:

I am in need of a front and a rear driveshaft for the refuge. I have a 4.0L/ax-15/231 shortbed with a D30/D44 combo. I am in need of these soon and if I can't find factory ones will have to order new ones. Would rather save some cash and buy older factory ones.

power windows and locks? cruise control? Did I stumble into a cadillac forum? LOL I had power windows, locks, and mirrors on my first MJ. It was nice but I got frustrated when the windows slowed way down one winter. I kinda like the manual windows and locks I have now. K.I.S.S. If I need a door locked or unlocked or the other window rolled up or down I just reach across. It is nice to be 6' with a wingspan to match. lol Now AC is one I can't live without......

Just don't get it on your hootus..... :rotf: :rotf: Looks really good. How much Herc. did it take?

I am an idiot. It was just too big for one post. Please disregard.... :hateputers: :wall: :doh:

I haven't tried that yet but will give it a shot.

Sorry. It is a new thread I am trying to create and it won't create it. Here is the page it gives me when I hit submit. ---http://comancheclub.com/forums/posting.php?mode=post&f=24&sid=0b0e4d2017d1f224d9934ef38e84a6f0--- If you want, I can copy the whole thread here. lol

Pete I have a rather long and highly picture laden post I am trying to put up in the for sale section but for some reason when I hit submit all I get is a blank screen and it won't post. Not sure if something is jacked up with the board or what.

Easy fix. Just swerve before you honk and wave. :clapping: :D

LMAO!!!!!! I made the girlfriend watch it and she says "you boys get tickled over the silliest things". I said "yup". :rotf:

Junk it. As said before. IIRC the '96+ hoses will swap with the older ones and do away with the valve. Also make a good time to flush the heater core if not the whole system. And as mentioned you can either plug the end of the vacuum line with a golf tee or screw or you can trace the line back to the manifold (or wherever it draws vacuum from) and remove the line there and cap it with a vacuum cap available at any parts store.

If you gonna junk those IPF lenses I will gladly take them off your hands... :brows:

If you need a place to store that factory plow just let me know there is plenty of real estate on the front of the Junkyard Refugee to hold it. :brows:

I have the same and fitted the XJ full console. Used a stainless soap dish to cover up the floor shifter plate. :D Surprised you settled for stainless and didn't spend hours searching for a chrome one Don. :rotf: :peek:

dumb question: do you have intermittent wipers?
