  1. u'd be more happy with a reservior shock with your long arms.
  2. 2nd that. you also can adjust your ride height by how much crap you put in the back. :brows: looks good. :cheers:
  3. YES! and no. my case cracked manifold/s: you can replace your stock soon to be cracked already cracked manifold with another stock manifold ? for half the price of a borla/banks (over the counter). or have your soon to be cracked prob already cracked manifold welded up. the borla helped the renix still not a high output but it helped it. the biggest gain was just climbing grades (in a rig that has the aerodynamics of a brick and with mine running 35's w/4:56's) being able to stay in overdrive without running in 3rd for miles. went with the banks on the mj just to be different/try it plus the previous owner had a new cat back exhaust (muffler shop) installed. the banks just bolted right to the stock down tube. stock 4.0L manifold suck. .02
  4. header wise i have a borla on my '87 xj (with cat back) and a banks on my '91 mj (just header). the borla helped the renix but the banks is/was a stock replacement. cat back for a mj prob not but you could get the header, down tube, to cat, maybe muffler and then head to your local exhaust shop. maybe flowmaster makes a cat back systems? been very happy with both headers (borla late 90's, banks mid 2000's) with no prob... expensive yes. worth it yes. .02
  5. looks like #69 is for sale but not sure cause it's missing most of it's body kit? and those mirrors? http://sfbay.craigslist.org/eby/cto/2652920686.html
  6. dang... i could use that rear slider.
  7. i have about 80 pic's of/from both sides if you need some inspiration. :D
  8. did 2x6's on my xj 8-9yrs ago plus made them into air tanks well at least plumbed them for air tanks.
  9. ding, ding, ding, winner... until you fix it and it doesn't cure the problem. :brows: have done this a few times :ack:
  10. not saying it's your fuel pump. my rig would never not start just took longer and longer. i ran around with a pressure guage attached to the fuel rail and found a pattern. there ended up being a crack in the top of the fuel pump. it ran at pressure but would flutter to 31-34psi. edit: it also (the pressure) would drain off purdy quick after shut down.
  11. :dunno:
  12. liquid lunch has me quoting myself.
  13. steady or flutters.
  14. fuel filter... when was it last changed?
  15. was it turning over?

    Gas prices

    paid 3.69 per gal for 87 this morning at an arco (cash only) in campbell ca (northern ca, south bay). this is about .10-.15 cheaper than most named stations but had to fill up the zj... 85 bucks later... ouch. :shake:
  17. i've had my kit for 10+yrs.... kit came with different mfg wheel studs. didn't think anything about it until i had a couple work free and 1 blew a hole thru the hat on my pass side disc. my kit came with no locking studs on the spindle nuts. i didn't know any different at the time. the hubs would keep coming loose and breaking the locating tabs on the washers. a buddy brought it to my attention yrs later as i was tightening up my hubs after a con run and i found out later warn had an upgrade kit... but by then i was using some old 44 nuts & washers. the o-ring at the base of the hubs get chewed up... not sure how this happens.
  18. i have to 2nd this...
  19. your welcome. better in another mj then cut up for scrap. rig is looking good. :cheers:
  20. nice :cheers: you will love the extra clearance. especially if you run a small lift. i suggest you weld a tube/bar on the outside of the 2x6 to give a little more clearance for the body. .02 made mine into air tanks. :D
