you need to get a master cylinder with a bigger piston. hydraulics function with volume as well as pressure. in putting on calipers with a larger piston naturally it is going to take more fluid to move them the same distance with the same force. i would use something from a late 70's as most of...

Its a trick flow fuel pressure regulator, got it out of the summit racing catalog. Its 30-120 psi, and just kept the stock mj pump.

fuel system.... or lack there of

I would say the hardest part of the dash install was the main steering column bracket. after cutting the old bracket off of the fire wall, i took it and bolted it up to the master cylinder, drilled some holes through the left a pillar took the fender off and bolted it all the way through both...

I don't know why but i like the look of the older xj\mj's. got some dynamat and im thinking because of the adjustment to the hole that the steering shaft goes through(air hammer) im going to rip the dash back out one of these days and make a sandwich plate for the fire wall, im a little...

So I took a 89 MJ and got my obd2. almost feel bad destroying a cherokee, but it was totally worth it. pretty bland, found this unit in a barn, haden't run in ten years. But fired it up and drove it out...... lady was pissed! Pioneer status, used some old signs to patch the holes in the...

Whats the difference in wheelbase between the two? The other way is to cut the section of the bed out between the cab and the wheel well. you could prolly get the tank in sideways, then its not under car. so how important is bed space? if you find the right tool box it will fit over top of it.

The only thing that scares me about the external is the stupid pump is ecu controled, and my thing is daily driver. Thats why im dumping the idea of the 1-ton full widths. For now. i hope when i can put them under it they haven't rusted to pieces. theres another one, the 89's brake switch runs...

Stock 97 controls, i was stairing at the short term fuel trim on the scan tool and it would apper by what the ecu is trying to do (-33%) that you would be correct with excesive fuel pressure. From what ive been told the 97 non return system has a dump valve in the pump that kicks in at around...

OK, so i have gone through way to much work turning my 89 mj into a 97 xj. My fuel pump is making noise, sounds like its trying to pump a little to hard. the question is since the 89 had a return system, can i fit a pump out of a 97 into the sending unit. i really dont feel like putting a...

how can i get the link set up to work, i seems to me that the inward angle from the axle to frame mounts will be too great and quite a bit of binding will occur, and how could i weld a mount to the cast pumpkin thats gunna hold?

Ok so i have an 89 mj that im in the process of swaping the dash, interior, and drivetrain out of a 97 xj sport in too. Before i get to the mounting of the front axle, a hp60 out of a 2003 f-350, i need to figuer out a game plan. the 60 has about two inches between the pumpkin and the knuckle so...

How much pressure is your power steering pump putting out, the larger the ram the higher flow power steering pump you need. Hydralic pressure. its gunna have alot of force, things will bend, collers will move. best bet, go short and do a really good job mounting it, or go for it and go full hydro.

I think its all in how you mount the ram, if it were too short, it would limit your steering in both directions, too long and you would end up with bent steering linkage, seems best option would be to sacrifice some turning diameter which would also put less stress on the u-joints.
