I was never 17.

lol same difference. It still doesn't seem to exist and i still bumped the Jeep into a wall because of it.

 

has anyone heard from Kyle (COSXJFAN)? He's prob the oldest guy here.

 

colorado dl renewal is awesome, and yes i did it online thinking they would email me a temp license until the other one came in the mail... nope that was not the case

 

Did Kyle mail it to you?

 

Hey everyone I'm working on my mj tday and got a front driveshaft question. My DS is about fully collapsed installed on level ground. Is that ideal for 5.5 lift or should it be more expanded installed? I was told that the DS is from a v8 zj

 

I know this is really off topic but I think this is what this section is about. What do you guys think of my new paint job?

 

That's pretty sweet! Any pics of the whole jeep? I thought a confederate flag would be sick on the hood

 

That looks great! Need more pictures

 

I finished it late tonight so I will get more pictures tomorrow.

 

Topic, topic? Do we have a topic? Crud, I wish someone would have told me there was a topic here!

 

Mine has a loop of wire where the NSS would go if it were an automatic, but since its a stick and I guess they don't mind you crashing your stick the factory put in a loop of wire.

 

So I replaced my crank position sensor yesterday and she started right up. Tested it about 10 times and all was well. Took it around the block and she sputtered and died. Wouldn't crank again and I had to tow it back. Sounds like no spark but I figured the cps would fix that. Any ideas before I go digging

 

I'd check the cps again to make sure it's still connected or hasn't jostled loose some how.

 

I can't say from any experience, but with the normal factory 4 link short arms and some simple geometry visualizations, I'd imagine that the front driveshaft should get longer as the front springs are compressed.

One easy thing to do is jack up the frame, so the axle goes to full drop, and see how the driveshaft reacts. Then if you have the means, you can take out the front springs and see how the driveshaft is at full compression. Or you could just flex so the driver side tire is up, that would give a similar result.

I'd be worried that the driveshaft is too collapsed, that's cutting it really close, unless 5.5" of lift is exactly at the shortest point, but even still tat sounds iffy.

 

Thanks ben I will try that today and pull the one off my xj and see how that works also
