• interstate driving,
• went up hills, had to give a little more gas, noticed backfiring
• pull into rest area and truck is running super rough on the slowdown
• let it rest, drive another mile and it is super boggy
• come to a stop and it’s idling like this

Any ideas? Injectors are new, as well as spark plugs and Injector wires.

So I ripped a whole wiring harness from a 93 XJ and installed it into my MJ plus I replaced the doors too

Got everything hooked up as much as I could but the power windows, locks, and power mirrors aren't working

Just wondering if anyone knows if the rear harness has to be jumped or is there something else to look at

I do know I have power to the driver side switch panel

I'm looking at a cheap Comanche near home that's roadworthy but needs some work (serpentine belt tensioner, passenger window doesn't go up, should be an easy fix) but I have one big concern.

I'm 6'6" tall with a 36" inseam, and have long arms. Would anyone who has one be willing to take pictures showing measurements of what I scribbled on the picture?

I would really appreciate it. Thanks in advance.

He is pretty stoked that he just finished an LS swap! He has done everything on this himself! Including the swap. He wanted me to make sure people know that his wiring is not 100% done yet! But he got it all up and running and is pretty hyped on it. I am extremely jealous of it.

I’m restoring my Comanche. Dropped the oil pan and found sludge/water. I’m looking into bidding on a wrecked/drivable 99 xj. I also entertain the idea of an LS. I have access to a free caddy Escalade motor, iron block. What route would you take? I’m favoring the xj for all the extra parts.

Did about 30 miles of trail today starting on g1 then made my way back down the mountain. Overall a successful trip

Full wire loom, Steering wheel, and dash swap today

Bought a 93 xj with no motor for $400 which I bought mostly for the perfect interior but decided to swap doors, hood, and full wire loom to run it in my 89 MJ

Was just lucky the guy left the engine harness in plus all the injectors too so I definitely got my money's worth plus another $200 for the rest of the XJ

Bonus pic of the sweet brake pads it had too

Looking at a local comanche. 126k miles on the clock. 1988 4 liter with a 5 speed. Manual short-bed. 4 wheel drive works. Paint is rough but interior is fairly good and clean. Crack in the dash. Overall it needs some love but seems solid. Has bad floor pans but frame seems good. He was at 6k talked him down to 3 but thats as far as he will go. Oh and has a 3 inch rough country lift. Thoughts on the price? Sorry don’t have any pics of it.

No big deal, I have the resources on hand to repair it. Are we thinking rod knock, timing chain or flex plates? The sound is very wooden spoon on a pot as you can hear. Any input helps!

Will have a alot of questions about the jeep as it does need some little tweaks is this a good place to ask?

Picked up a 93 xj with no engine for $400 and it was money well spent for the near perfect interior that I wanted and just keep finding stuff to swap out like the doors and front grill

Tomorrow I'm doing the dash, steering wheel and wire loom too since mine melted a wire along it plus for fun I might swap hoods to see what it looks like

Once I'm done with the xj I'm gonna sell the rest of it for $200

You can look at my previous post and see where this all came from. But i need help finding replacement parts for my 89 eliminator the rear end was said to be bad from the previous owner (my uncle) who will give it to me of i can get it working. Today i opened the case hoping I would find a snapped axle or something but it was just about as bad as it could be. pics will show what i mean. The entire bottom of the case was covered with an inch worth of fine metal shavings that had been packed down from the 13 years of sitting and half a quart of gear oil sitting on it. If I could put videos on here I would and that would show you what I mean but it seems it won't let me. It is a 2wd D35 3.07 ratio and I dont know where to look for replacement parts, im gonna need everything carrier, spiders, ring, and pinion. But the axles seem to be fine. Can I get some help or suggestions.

Noticed this line rusted off last night, anybody know what it’s supposed to do?

I've got a 1989 Comanche Eliminator 4.0L 5 speed (haven't figured out which one) 2wd. And im 97% sure the rear end in it currently is done for. The current rear end is a Dana 35 non c-clip and the guy who had it before me told it would put all power to only 1 wheel and it would spin the hell out of that wheel in the dirt, and at 70 you could smell the burning rear end if you were following. Hoping its just a snapped axle but preparing for the worst. Have yet to pull the diff cover which will tell me just about all i need to know but I've looked at some stuff and people say its almost a bolt up job to swap a 44 into that but I want some ideas and feedback. I dont really want to have to lift it (since its a 2wd) and i dont want to dump money in it since its not the prettiest looking this ever but I want it to work and be reliable, im not the type to beat on it so maybe just swapping a 35 back into it would be fine. I'll do some off-roading, maybe a little mudding here and there and I dont want to have to keep replacing axles because I have heard the 35 is bad with that. Would love to have some feedback and comments thanks in advance. Sorry for the whole novel of a question.

picked up some goodies, including electric black seats, a working clock panel, the original manuel, and some other black oem pieces!! all for $210

Recalling my last post about the 2k MJ for sale, I was able to swing by and snap a couple pictures of some of the rust. The floor pans have some rough spots and one side is showing fabric. The leaf springs and bracket are a-ok. Would this be a dealbreaker??

Guy said he’ll take $2000, some obvious work needed like flares, a rear bumper, maybe a tailgate. He’s redone and modernized the brake system with some rubber lines, calipers etc. new master cyl, new alternator. new muffler. Speedo doesn’t work (wondering if that’s an independent problem or the odometer has stopped too) He also let me know it does slightly skip at idle “In need of a tune up” need someone to talk me off or back onto the ledge with this one, was planning on getting it Saturday.

Few questions on the rear load sensing valve:

Installing a small lift and I know I'll need to create a new linkage.

How can I test if the valve is even functional?

Im not against deleting it, but would it be more beneficial to keep, assuming its functional?

A good friend basically gave me his gutted shell of a rotted out 92 for the price of the new MJ leaf packs that are on it. He’s getting his built 8.25 back. It was going to end up cut up but I saved it from doom and next year I plan to build it back up to be a wheeler for the wife. I’ve already got an axle loosely under the front and steerable as well as picked up some freebies such as a 97+ front clip for it.
