Nice, I like that a lot! I cut the big tab off of the ZJ lines and zip-tied the bastards around the axle tube. Your setup is pretty clever.

Someone needs to figure out the perfect way to do it and tell all of us.

Looks familiar. Make sure that bump stop doesn't smash it!


1991Jeep_Man, you could consider selling yours...

Bump stop may or may not have crushed one of my lines back when I replaced them on the old drum brakes.... lol

Bad routing!

If there's interest, I can make a batch. I imagine the sway bar bracket placement and u-bolt sizes are pretty standard on all years?

I believe so. Best shot would be to look up the part for the sway bar bracket and see if it's the same.

Hey fellas! Had her for about two months now and it has been running really well. Took care of a leaky valve cover gasket yesterday, drove it for about an hour and parked it. No leak. One problem solved. Today I go to start it and it fires right up as usual, but died in less than 5 seconds. I immediately attempted to restart it but it will only crank, no fire. Nothing. I turn on ignition and can here the fuel pump working and if I leave the ignition powered on for a minute or more and then try starting her she will fire up and run for a few seconds; the longer i leave the ignition on before turning it over, the longer it will run before ultimately dying once again. Seems like its just not getting enough fuel fast enough. Bad fuel filter or fuel pump maybe? Any ideas? Appreciate any feedback.

Has anybody bypassed the ballast resistor on your '88 yet? Ceramic block on the driver's side fender.

Shameless plug for my build thread linked to the disc swap->https://www.cherokeeforum.com/f46/96...5/#post3256864

The P.O. put them on to help with the saggy/broken leafs. They seem to work ok. Just got back from a trip with 3 people a dog, small sound system for a wedding and all 3 of our camping stuff piled in and a bunch on the roof rack. She was squatting but made the ~1000mile trip.

Well considering the condition maybe the PO got them from a junk yard...lol or they've just been on there a loooooong time. New ones: https://amzn.com/B000C57LX2

Mine are all covered in oil from leaking I'd assume. Long arm is in the near future so I'm ignoring them.

Getting an error a couple of errors that I need a little direction with please.

27 - Fuel Injector Control Circuit - I'm thinking this would also include the wiring to the injectors, could this error be as simple as faulty wiring? Plan is to try and test continuity of the injector wiring. Have a feeling this might be causing an intermittent electrical misfire

65 - Manifolf Tune Valve - Where is this located?
