    drag link?

    I need to purchase a new drag link and end links due to it being seized. I am getting an alignment, but the mechanic told me he could not free up the drag link. Any suggestions a to what I should buy? Is OEM adequate? I have a 4.5 inch lift on an MJ. Do I also need a drop pitman? Thanks in...

    Found death wobble cause.

    I'm from Norwich area. I was going to run 33's but would have to get rims to offset. On my budget, 31 x 10.5 BF Goodrich AT's fit. Keep me posted when you get the truck. I'll send you a pic of the truck with lift and tires if you want. I could also show you the cheap cold air intake I made for...

    Found death wobble cause.

    After installing a 4.5 inch lift on my 89 MJ, discovered what "death Wobble" was the first time I reached 50mph. This scared the living daylights out of me. I read lots of threads on this, and I actually found the cause (thanks to the Jeep guy @ the tire shop. I asked him were DW came from, he...

    Front skid plate / plastic guard

    Thanks for the advice. I was leaning towards keeping it. It does look pretty beefy - for stock. The plastic is starting to fall off anyway, I'll just have to help it.

    Jeep or Truck ?

    I've got an 89 MJ with a 4.5 lift. I get the best of both. A semi - worthy off road rig, and a truck bed to use or not use. Don't know what I would do without a truck though. Make sure if you do get the MJ - get the 4.0.

    Front skid plate / plastic guard

    I have an 89 MJ. I recently lifted it 4.5 inches, and am asking if the front skid plate (just behind the front bumper) would do me more justice removed. Any opinions on if this is a needed plate? Would it look better removed? How about the plastic guard located next to it? Any suggestions would...

    Advice: Start with most obvious

    Just a little humor... I recently replaced my rear main seal & oil pan gasket. I had a pretty significant oil leak. After completing the job, still had a significant oil leak. After reading some posts, I thought I would change my valve cover gasket. Upon lossening bolts, found that I did not...

    Jeep or Truck ?

    I've got an 89 MJ. So far I have 4.5 inches of lift, and a few mods to the engine - intake, exhaust, ignition. Love to have a very capable off road rig, and can still use it as a truck. My .02

    33's on 4.5 lift?

    Also, any pics of 31 x 10.5's on an MJ with 4.5? Or 33's on an MJ with 4.5? I just do not want to get over my head with cutting. I also don't want to get 31's and they look small. Any help would be appreciated.

    33's on 4.5 lift?

    I have an 89 MJ with 4.5 inches of lift. My buddy has a set of 33 x 12.5's. After lifting my vehicle, tires (235/75 15's) magically shrunk. Should I go get the freebies? How much cutting ect. will I need to do? If I get them, I plan on buying some offset wagon wheels. If not, I have always liked...

    89 4.0 running rich

    Thanks for the info. I guess I'll have to shell out the beans for that O2 sensor. I'll be sure to write back as I go.

    89 4.0 running rich

    Mileage 120,000. Haven't done the O2 sensor. I always thought that when they go, motor runs horrible. I am in the process of a tune up, I'll write back with some results...

    235x75x15 on 15x8 on stock suspension

    I have an 89 MJ and run 235/75 15 BF Goodrich MT's on stock rims (15x7). I do not have any problems with them. (Other than I just lifted it 4.5 inches, and now they look small.)

    89 4.0 running rich

    My 89 MJ, 4.0 is running rich, and has a slight loss of power. Exhaust smells rich. I have done a few searches, but not much luck (& time) with them. Can I have the basics as to what to look for? Thank you in advance.
