Possible.....does have 238000 miles on it!

Auto. Checked the flywheel bolts already.......tight.

How can one tell if this is bad? My wifes 91 has developed a rattle @ start up and @ higher rpms, could be rod bearings, but want to eliminate all possible other things before tearing off the pan. tIA for any suggestions.

The entire rocker will be replaced with 2x4 or even 4x4 boxed tubing, even thought about boat siding it, but box tube rockers sound a little stronger.

Heres a shot from the bottom, looks like most if not all the damage is in the rockers. BTW this is not my DD so asthetics are not a concern. Just as long is it can be pulled somewhat straighter than what it is now, I'm good with it!

Thanks for the advice Martin, and yes we have the same salvage title bs, luckily I work for a wrecker co. salvage title is not a big deal. I hope to have my body shop friend give low estimates. He can do the work from his home, which will save some cash.

He has no ins. I have uninsured motorist on my policy. I think that this may be the way to do it Martin, i have a friend who works at a body shop, I think I will take it to them Monday and get a price on fixing it. My insurance will probaly sue him but oh well!

Thought that at first also. A buddy of mine who works at a body shop said that the jeep itself is still straight, the "frame" is not bent, just the rocker and the b pillar. He was worried that if the porta power is used that it will push the other side being that this is a uni body. Another shot

That's the carnage, obtained by a Ford Ranger backing out of his driveway to fast. I tried to pull it out from outside the rig, didn't work real well. I have a porta power, will it work from inside or will it push out the other side? I just need to get it straight enough to put the doors back...

This seems to be the route I will be taking, replacement that is, #2 cylinder is dead, engine has a number of other problems as well, but only paid $500 for the rig with a perfect body and interior, so it wont be too awful bad. Thanx for the responses guys.

91 XJ 4.0 When I pull off #2 plug wire there is no change in rpm , pull all others there is. I am about to replace the rod bearings in this thing, noticable rod knock, Is there another issue I should also be looking into here? It does have a semi rough idle in drive. need to add, I do have spark...

o2 sensor or circut.

I thought about two more inches as well, still have a set of spacers layin around, but decided against it also. The place I ordered the shocks from took them back, super nice about it also,I am doin more research into it, my skycrapper hydros still work for now.

I am lookin into it, not sure if it will be the same travel, maybe close. Mad maXJ: Already thought of it!
