    pulling dash w/o removing steering wheel - issues

    Since I don't have a photo handy, in the FSM it's page 24-38, figure 43, and they call it a "flag retainer receptacle" not a bracket.

    pulling dash w/o removing steering wheel - issues

    Update and another question. Using a pry bar I finally got the brackets broken free, although the plastic around the pin on the drivers side shattered. Hopefully the other bolts and such will be sufficient to hold it up when I put it back together. The question: It turns out the 98 has the...

    pulling dash w/o removing steering wheel - issues

    So I'm doing the dreaded heater and AC evap core replacement, and I'm running into some issues that I can't seem to find detailed info about. First - how to "drop" the steering wheel without removing it. I tried removing the two nuts from the vertical bolts, and the wheel dropped down...

    99 Cherokee AC Leaks Freon

    dalitton , if you are still around- how did you solve this? looks like I'm having the same problem. And did you take out any other bolts to drop the column down?

    WTB/sell/trade: rear tire carrier bumper

    It's an interesting idea, but I don't think so. We also "customized" the mounting brackets on the bumper, and the C-Rok already did the mounting thing a bit differently from most tire carrier bumpers. the hassle of trying to duplicate the mount setup on a different bumper would exceed my...

    WTB/sell/trade: rear tire carrier bumper

    I have a custom rear tire carrier bumper that was constructed on a base of a C-Rok 4x4 bumper. It was rebuilt to move the tire down and to the drivers side for visibility, and with a tray to hold two Scepter-size jerry cans. For various reasons, I want to do the rear lower quarter panel...

    WTB: Shock Hoop

    Busted the other welded BPE last week. Still want a hoop, but at this point I'd settle for a used JKS mount. Anybody got anything they want to sell?

    WTB: Shock Hoop

    Um, no. I already did this: http://www.lunghd.com/Tech_Articles/Suspension_Steering_Axles_and_Brakes/Rear_BPEs.htm but welded them on, which is what broke. I don't want to cut into my floor to get the old broken bolt ends out. I just want a hoop. Like this...

    WTB: Shock Hoop

    Looking for a shock hoop. Cross Enterprises or similar, or a homebrew. NOT anything that mounts to the standard upper location (i.e. no JKS). Busted off a welded-on bar pin eliminator this past Friday and I want something different. Do NOT want to cut the floor open though, this is an expo rig...

    Repair help near Cortez CO?!?

    Looked just now in daylight and from the trail of drippage it looks pretty clearly to be coming from the top of the tank. O ring gasket I suppose. I'll see about nursing this home.

    Repair help near Cortez CO?!?

    This trip is turning out to be kind of a mess. I fixed the popping - in searching for more things to tighten I discovered a motor mount bolt with a nut that fell apart in my hand. I got a new nut on it, and all pops stopped. However, now the thing has started leaking gas every time I fill up...

    Repair help near Cortez CO?!?

    Before I posted up originally, I'd cranked the heck out of my track bar frame side bracket bolts. This morning I tightened up all the steering box bolts (I have the JCR steel spacer and an ORFab front bumper with the steering area brace, so if it's cracked it still ought to hold together!). I am...

    Repair help near Cortez CO?!?

    Hello Colorado folks, My mom & I are in Cortez and something in the drivers side front end right under my feet is popping like crazy. It started after a bad stretch of potholes on I40 in Oklahoma. I tightened all my track bar bolts and such two days ago in Santa Fe, but that didn't fix it...

    Road Trip East to West.

    I'm heading out the "not quite I-40" route for spring break and from what I can tell that route stands to be way more interesting than 80 or 70. Cottontail mentioned some of them - Nashville, Memphis, Hot Springs (which is a little off 40) - there's also Palo Duro Canyon in Texas, the Talimena...
