Pst.... DURRRRR, you're right. I read that backwards! :D

Pssst: The rear springs will be more than too long... on a ZJ. :D

96 is a bastard year. It does have a regulator, in the tank. It's a dead-head fuel system like the 97+ but has a different regulator/pump/etc. Anyway, I had a problem similar to you in a 96 once upon a time. It ended up being a bad wire going to the fuel pump. It got crushed somehow under the...

I don't see why somebody couldn't use the stock renix sync sensor. I'll play with it once I get the rest of my hardware.

MS2 should work with a 66-2-2-2 wheel, even if it's not currently an option. I looked at the code a couple days ago and with a little tweaking I'm very confident it'll work with zero changes made to the stock harness. I ordered some parts to test my theory out. I think it'd be great for you...

What you really want are lock-ring pliars. A little different than snap ring pliers and work much better on the style on the T-case. I'm going to assume you have a wagoneer, so it's an old style 242. Quick and dirty from memory: Remove Driveshaft. Remove Speedo. Remove three bolts holding the...

The only thing hydrogen is good for fueling is fusion reactors. So until we get that figured out we're spinning our proverbial wheels worried about hydrogen. Where do these people think all the freaking hydrogen comes from anyway? It's not exactly falling from the sky.

Agreed. I've had my fair share of both. Right now I have two 2-doors and with the 8 year old, the height is far more of a hassle than the number of doors. It's impossible for her to climb in on her own without getting filthy. Luckily I can still easily pick her up. I'm hoping her ability to get...

I've used DIY almost exclusively for my parts, they have provided good service. But saying a VR sensor won't work with a Megasquirt? That's crazy talk as I've used them several times. The V3 board has an entire VR conditioning circuit built into it. The issue will be with the 66-2-2-2...

Yes, that is a good starting point. With that setup, without upgrading to the MS2 or MS3 processor, you can in theory run Coil on Plug in Wasted Spark Mode for sure. Possibly pure sequential ignition, I'd have to check if the MS1-Extra code supports it, I know there are 6 Available Ignition...

Absolutely without a doubt undoubtedly. First clue is that it only has 2 wires. Second is that it generates a mV range AC voltage. A hall would be a square wave DC 5v or 12v pulse. That's not to say you couldn't change it out for a hall sensor, which I find easier to deal with on MS. But not...

The crank sensor is a VR sensor, not hall effect. Not my favorite but the V3 board supports it without an add-on board. For Megasquirt you would not need the cam sync since that's only for sequential injection which basic megasquirt does not support. But the distributor is a single window...

If you've ever had a winch on a 2" receiver plate you'd instantly see the draw of a front mount hitch. Sure is nice to be able to winch from the front or back and when you're not wheeling put the winch in the garage where it's safe and out of the weather.

You seriously just twisted two wires together at random and expected good results? Kinda lucky they were just the 4x4 indicator wires.

Without having one in my hand to measure, I can say that anecdotally those measurements are in line with all of clutch jobs I've personally done on modern hydraulic-release systems. The springing action is completely normal for the slave cylinders. You are worried about nothing. Put it together...
