Dunno about the bastard pack anymore...i need to find some stock leafs in good condition to be able to do it as mine are in a VERY sorry state. Might just scrap the idea and save myself some headache by getting a new lift pack. Dunno yet.

Take off the interior panel, bust through the plastic sheet liner, and inspect the linkages.

Hope you had a great trip! I'm about to buy some new leaves myself. I found new ones for 74.00 each. Have you seen any better prices?

Well i got the pannel off and checked out all the links, i can even move the lock bar back and forth but its pretty stiff. Im thinking it has something to do with the lock cylinder, it wont move at all with the key (passenger side had same issue but i got it to work after spraying some WD40 and Carb cleaner in it)

So my jeep (1990 renix) has started hesitating and stalling at random times, I start off fine when coming from a stop but then it starts bucking and seems like its starving itself for fuel. Also I've noticed my map sensor vacuum hose keeps backing itself out of the throttle body. I'm trying to get my hands on a fuel pressure gauge, So far I'm thinking fuel pump, coil, or an o2 sensor? Checked the tps and adjusted it and I also swapped around relays for the fuel pump and no such luck. Any help is greatly appericated. Thanks guys.
