Hi All! I have a 90 MJ with 2.5L and a 5 speed. I paid $400 for it and drove it on the trailer. Previous owner says the truck has sat since 2016 when the radiator leaked out and overheated. I started tearing into it today. Swapped a good radiator into it. Runs a bit rough but runs, drove it up...

When I bought mine the valve cover gasket leaked a quart a week. PO was too cheap to buy the gasket. Would rather buy 4 quarts of oil a month, 52 quarts a year. Thats like $150 a year if you buy the cheap stuff. Replaced that gasket and dropped oil loss down to less than a quart between oil...

Dark blue, same color as my 02 Z28 was.

Another vote for JKS. I am cheap, I build all of the components I can. That said, I couldn't build something as nice for the price they ask. Cheapest price I found was on Amazon. Worth every penny.

I just skimmed through all 138 pages of your Willy's truck build. All I can say is, wow! Some excellent work.

I can't tell you how many times I have referenced your site. Especially your write up for front end alignments. It is tough to convince people the caster is adjusted by shimming the LCAs. Everyone wants to replace the arms with adjustable ones so they can 'gain' the ability to adjust the...

I agree to grind the nubs off to fit the tube. I disagree with beveling the perches. It is a fillet weld, not a butt weld. I fit steel for a living. I've never seen a print call out beveling for a fillet joint. Use a welding machine with sufficient amperage to burn in a good weld. I used...

I LOVE my JKS Quicker Disconnects. https://www.amazon.com/JKS-2000-Replacement-Swaybar-Disconnect/dp/B005TTZ64M/ref=sr_1_fkmr0_2?s=automotive&ie=UTF8&qid=1501946093&sr=1-2-fkmr0&keywords=jus+quicker+disconnect+xj Well designed and easy to use. Have held up well so far.

Siphon the old crap out. Dump in 5 gallons of new (will dilute whatever residual is in there). Fire it up. Just did the above with my 79 Camaro that has been sitting for a few years. Fired right up. Why did you park it?

Wow. What part of this Cherokee is still Cherokee?! Looks like a fun toy.

You don't have a BFH?! Stop everything and go buy one. So many problems are solved with a BFH.

Do you have any supporting documentation? I am in the market for just such a thing. My 90 has the fixed wing windows, with broken AC. It is a HOT ride.

I'm happy with my drop brackets. I DD mine and do occasional off roading. Any good trails are a 5 hour drive. The beach is only 2 hours, so I do a fair amount of that.

I will call them Steve and Alice.

So, you have a 92 laying around with a good radiator in it? You are short on cash for a radiator in the 99? I'm confused. Seems simple to me, if the 92 radiator will fit (I'm not sure), shove it in. If it craps out in 6 months, who cares? All it cost you was your time. In the meantime...

Start by reconditioning the cooling system. Flush the cooling system, replace the wear items. Thermostat, hoses (good to do while you're in there), water pump (probably about due), look inside radiator for scale (after the flush), and replace the fan clutch. From there, install a trans cooler...

I would go with a different drop bracket brand. I have the Rough Country. They fit fine, work fine. Not happy with the gusset/support bracket that bolts to the lower mount and frame rail. It mounts to the frame rail with (2) 5/16 self tappers. They pull right out. There are a couple...

I am happy with my Cragar Soft 8s (15x8 w/ 4" BS) and 33x12.5 General Grabber AT2s. $775ish for tires on Amazon and $150ish for rims at Quadratec.

Thread revival! I'm looking to do something similar on my 90. What size tube is that? How much higher was your mount from stock? Are you still on the forum? Has anyone else done a similar setup?

Cool build. I especially like the rear cargo area storage compartment. I'm tired of packing the recovery gear every time I want to go out. The high lift is under the back seat and I'm tired of pulling the car seat to get to the jack when I need it. That looks to fix both of those issues. I...
