[sneakyjap96]

Hopefully everything works out the xj will have either an 8.8 or d44 swapped in the rear some 35s an stiffeners! Within the next two weeks and be con ready for a father's day trip!!

 

[blondejoncherokee]

a beefy rear end would be nice!

 

[sneakyjap96]

Yea i don't wanna push 35s with a 35 haha 8.8 or 44 is a must and I'm not playing around with 33s or 31s go big or go home

 

[831_xj]

Or go big, break, and hope to make it home lol

 

[sneakyjap96]

Yep!! I'm hoping to locate a car trailer to barrow and trailer it to the trails further away

 

[sneakyjap96]

Durango filler neck for the win

Now to figure out my pegged temp gauge!

Also picked up a muffler getting ready for smog old ones toast

 

[sneakyjap96]

Paid a visit to my fav candy store!! Still waiting to hear back on a d44 hoping I can buy it still then I'm building long/mid arms stiffeners n sliders

Get rid of that POS vent lever cap. Run a 16lb premium cap. Remove the single wire from the CTS in the driver side rear of the head, turn KOEO and see if it stays low. Then ground it and see if it pegs. Might need a new new sender, don't use any thread sealer on it.

I pulled off the wire and it still stays pegged to the right doesn't move at all.

Pull the IP, and clean the connections on the IP itself, and the one that plugs into it. It's old, may need to be cleaned up.
If that does not work, you may need to replace the gauge itself.
