89 xj non c-clip rear turdy-five. Looking to do a rear disk swap this weekend or next. I've had some people tell me even though its not a c-clip its still a straight swap, and no spacer is necessary. However when I search online it seems ill need some special spacer for the swap. Just looking...

You CAN bend tube and square stock without a bender, it just takes heat, muscle, wooden jigs and pactience to get it right. Its not fun but it works, very old school.

Take your time with the preperation, make sure the metal is bare and clean. clean-up is a bit of a pain, same as arc welding, but its very do-able. And given the situation a flux core welder will do a better job ( outside, windy enviroment) than gas.

Take your time, use a lower speed on your wire, and lower the voltage. When I weld thinner metals with my hobart on flux, i'll just tack, and tack, and tack, and tack, since any concentration on the metal for more than a few seconds will cause a blow through. Give the metal time to cool also, as...

Alright, my cherokee hasn't been started in the last 2 months. Been busy upgrading the cooling system to an open system, new radiator, hoses, ford taurus fan, 2000w stereo system tore the dash apart to run new wires for the speakers. And cleaned up the engine bay a lil bit. I finished clamping...

I've had good results with vht flameproof paints. Used it on my block, head, headers, basically anything in my engine bay that sees heat haha:flame:

Treadwrights are dreadfully heavy tires, I ran them on my KJ for a year and a half. Tough as nails and did great off road but on the road they sucked the gas down. I got a 3 mpg improvement from my 245/75/16 Guard dogs load range E, to the 265/75/16 yokohama geolander at's load range P that i...

gotcha, I was just going to buy a universal overflow tank and put it in the area where the airbox used to be, I'm homebrewing a intake with a heatshield so there will be room. Another question, After installing the grill and replacing the electric fan with a 99's. I noticed quite a bit of...

most of us have more time than money mister deep pockets

I know this has probally been beat to death. BUT... I just aquired a new 94 radiator with some other goodies today. And I'm wanting to convert the closed system to an open one. I don't have to worry about the coolant temp sensor controlling the fan since im going to be controlling the fans with...

i spent about an hour trying to hunt down that 5amp inline fuse, no luck. I think I'm just going to hardwire it to the battery, I'm not worried about draining the batt since its going to have dual yellowtops come summer, and I'm OCD when it comes to my vehicles. But if anyone can chime in on...

Its a 89 4.0 the jeeps been completly worked oove the last few months, only thing i have neglected was the wiring and thats because everything worked fine when i aquired it.

Just remember when your welding the 3/16" to the sheet to concentrate on the thicker metal and try to roll it into the sheet. Practice with some first till you get the feel since its easy to blow through the sheet metal when running higher voltages.

It's an auto, and i checked the block to make sure nothing funny was going on. Is it possible to just hardwire it to the battery and the starter relay (whatever the terminal behind the battery that has the hot from the starter)??? I don't mind running lines, and if I have to turn the radio off...

Old radio worked, new one doesnt! Tested the wires and theres no current from the pink or violet/orange. Checked the fuse on the block, it looked fine replaced it ne way and still nothing. Whats the deal with this i dont know the wiring to well on these jeeps just from the diagrams ive seen...

i bought the FF's from walmart for $45, wasn't exacly pleased with the light output so I plugged in some 100w h3 bulbs and increased the thickness of the wiring. They light the night on my KJ now, work excellent when I'm taking my trips up to Jersey on 17 from NC, i can see a good mile infront...

damn near identical twin to the 89 laredo I picked up for a song!

well there is a loud continuous hiss when pedal is applied, but the pedal drops, its an issue since it his DD and bad brakes is a dangerous thing for a DD. I haven't been able to get a good look at it, ill try to catch up with him this week. I know I need new brakes, my jeep will stop but I...

ill check with him on the idle speed when he hits the brakes. It sounds like the booster, since the pedal had no firmness to it whatsoever.
