I know OL'Blue a crazy amount of posts, but don't know who is oldest member still lurking the site.

 

ktmracer419 has been here since 2007, that's by far the oldest iv seen. But idk

 

I have a 1996 Cherokee Sport and my rear suspension seems to be sagging. I think it's most likely the leaf springs but I'm no mechanic. I just wanna bring it back to stock height, should I look at budget lift kits, replace the the leaf springs, or just buy a whole new kit that includes new leaf springs and everything else?

 

The proper way to go is replace the tired leaf springs with a new OEM-height leaf spring pack. Helper-springs and Add-A-Leafs have little longevity with already sagging springs. Apparently some shops will bend your springs back into shape but those will last even less.

If you want to venture outside of OEM specs (you mention budget lift kits) then a whole world of questions opens up... namely what you want and your budget. If you want a super smooth ride but don't really want to lift your jeep, there are options like Old Man Emu that make stock-height and minimal lift springs (like 1" and 2") that don't really require modification of anything else on the vehicle.

 

Iv asked the same ? With no real answer.

 

Guess nobody know?? <>.<>

 

Deverhart was the first owner. Sold it to Jon and Nathan. Sold to IB earlier this year.

I think that's correct?

I'm gonna pressure wash all the mud off my hood liner and engine bay what do I gotta cover up so I don't destroy anything ? So far I plan on covering the fuse box, battery terminals, oil breather , the brain I guess it's called? It's a black box on the drivers side fender and what else ? I heard tcm? Or something let me know if I'm missing anything

 

Throttle body area, air intake, anything electrical really, and don't spray the fuel or spark area directly

 

Alright makes sense I know my buddy washed his tj and messed up the tcm thanks for the quick response

 

My driver seat padding is worn down from sliding out of hit everyday and i was wondering which seats can i use in place of mine. Prefferably more comfortable style. Iv got a 90 xj, so what vehicle can i pull seats from.

 

ZJ's will work just move the rails from your seat to the new one. The rear seat will work too with new brackets

 

i recently upgraded my cooling system from a closed system to an open system. everything seems to be working great.

my question is, is it necessary to add a bottle with a line to it? what purpose would it serve, just to catch any overflow?
