  1. Yah I thought there was saposed to be one more piece... That one is gone and the bolt is tight inside the rod end... Time to stand on my head more... I think I've got two vynal washers on either side of the switch..
  2. I recently swapped the booster and master from a 2000 wj into my '90 mj, now my lights don't work. It's possible I lost one of the nylon bushings but am unsure of what should be there. I did have intermittent issues with the switch mounting prior to the swap, remedied by messing with it... I've searched and not found anything usefull, a pic of the bushings would be my first step. Next easiest fix would be to swap a newer style pedal assembly so a side by side, or direction to a writeup would be appreciated. Any thaughts are welcomed. Thanks in advanced.
  3. zipties, receiver mount, superglue and ductape....

    Dually?

    he was probably confused as those pics are years old, i have saved copys from at latest '07. mite i add... alaska plates? :dunno:
  9. i did both... $130 for the '86 w/ joints. $230 for the '90 w/ joints and new slip yolk. ...so the fatty went into my dd '90, and the other will be a spare and was made to fit either my '90 or '87. thanks to six states (same day service). thanks to cc driveshaft chart.
  10. replacing the rear shaft in my '90, i have the option of retubing the original (currently twizzlered) or shorten one that came out of an '86 lwb 2.8l auto np207. the '90 has a smaller diamiter tube than the '86, is one better than the other?
  11. new i saw it somewhere... thanks
  12. this is were I'm at with my 90... drove it on the weekends only (grocery getting), for the last year (company van). now with a new job and a bit of runnin around on the clock, its back on dd duty. shes been pretty un happy all summer. got out on the trail once had a blast now its not been worth the risk. the thaught of a new (old...) dd makes me sad. but mabe its time to lift a subaru...
  13. ok..'90 4.0 ax15 231...occasionally while cruzen (on the skinny pedal, but just maintaining speed) i add just a bitt more go presure.. say 1-200rpm the engine revs as it should but i get no acceleration, for a quick second( long enough to notice not long enough to even get my eyes to the tach) this has happened 3-4 times in 4th over the last 2 weeks and once in 3rd today. what does this mean? any help is appreciated.
  14. just a tape measure alignment. were should i measure? rim? what should it be set at?

    worth a phone call... most j/y don't carry much older than 10 years unless theres a good market. there are a few private lots full of jeeps,mostly out of town, usually contacts found on craigs. my parts come from mjs that are being crushed, you can get the whole rig free or pay for parts. the '86 i speek of was my first mj (50 mph tbone) forward of the seat was all a loss. saved part of the cab and some mj specific parts then turned the bed section into a trailer.

    i kinda liked the red, kinda. when i got my '87 i was surprised to see a darker version. but it needed a few parts swapped out including the bench which made me feel 3' tall. with a few parts swapped from maroonish to red ('86), i was quite content. just needed a proper shifter knob, quik drive to seward for a rock that matches perfect ( you know what I'm talkn bout). some leftover stereo parts and all that is left is a full gauge set up, and a shifter boot and ill be set for the interior of that one. yes red most those parts came frommy '86 after it murdered a '94 honda.

    i was running low on space and gave a bunch of parts to tyson, er..overdriven for a redo of his chopped xj. parts including the rear half of an '86 cab, rear interior bits, doors, rear flairs, etc. he was planing to ditch the fiberglass and go true cheromanche, but last i heard that mite not be happening. he may also still be over seas shootn bad guys. mite be worth a check, red int. parts.

  23. my '86 was the v6, auto, 4x4, 4.11 in a d35, was an xls
  24. what do you like? ive used the standard lead, integrated cables and clamp in, as well as solid brass or "golds". I'm using the top posts should i switch to the side terminals? between excessive corrosion with the lead and the brittle brass seems i replace yearly and ide like better a life span.
