Thanks #s194. Skid is gone - I hope it gets to fall on many more rocks with its new owner. Ben

Cleaning out the garage and found a gas tank skid plate in great condition - came off of my old '91 XJ I'm almost positive (slight chance it was from my '99). Six pack of IPA and it is yours! Text me at 916-764-2102 if you want it, located by Mather air force base just south of Hwy 50 in...

Roof rack and all associated hardware has been sold.

I did not, I went with something that made my kayak a little easier to deal with. Is that jeep alive??

Hey guys- sold the jeep :( and have a bunch of stuff sitting around. Let me know if you want more details or pics, prices negotiable, especially if you come take a bunch of stuff!!! 1-front driveshaft from AW4-NP242-D35 cherokee: $60 2-rear stock driveshafts from AW4-NP242-D35 cherokee. One...

I agree, I have had two 242 cherokees, and when there are tc issues you can tell. It is right under you. I had a strethed chain and it made all kinds of horrible noises when there was any power to it. I don't know how the diff in the tc works, but in my experience, if there is an issue with the...

Right on, thanks! I got the compressor out and draining, and everything is off except the AC dryer at the firewall...I took the compression clamp off, but how the heck do you get the tube out of there? It just spins freely, but I can't get it out. Do I need a tool for this? The new dryer...

Awesome, thanks alot for all the tips! My compressor came with 1.5 oz of oil in it. So to make sure I understand this correctly, I need to drain the old compressor and dryer, and then add the amount that comes out of them to each of the new components (minus the 1.5 oz in the new compressor...

So if the system has been evacuated, can I replace the compressor and dryer, and then safely drive to a shop to have it recharged, as long as I don't turn the AC on? Any comments, tips, help are much appreciated. Thanks! Ben

Cool thanks, I was just moving things around in there and was thinking this might be my best bet. I will see if I can make that work. If not, do you have any idea if I can buy a vacuum to evacuate the system? Ben

Hi guys, The bearing on my compressor fried and the pulley is totally seized, so not driveable. I got a reman compressor, is it safe to just unhook the lines on the old one and swap in the new one? I would have preferred to take it to a shop, but like I said, not driveable. The system is...

LOVE the gas tan skid! nice work. Ben

Is there anything else wrong with the engine? Just wondering why you aren't replacing the head. Ben

Haha gotcha. It didn't even cross my mind that is what you meant because the head of the bolt is so insignificant compared to all of the other rotating mass you have going on with the tcase and driveshaft. Sorry if I sounded like a dick, didn't mean to. Ben

Awesome! Have one but would have bought this if available. To the top! Ben
