Welcome, looks quite a bit like my black 93 Sport 2 door 4x4 5 speed, even has the mini console.

[4.3LXJ]

Another two door. Welcome to the group. You will like 31s. They will look nice at that height.

[bluedragon436]

Looks like a nice 2dr.. It has a custom rear side window too.. forgot to mention that mod!! LOL

[T3k]

yea if only the rear slider worked haha no the po his a tree or something and blew the window out i took the interior body panel off and started to pop the dent out of it today but i had a set back last night in my way to have fun i lost the drive shaft on the highway come to find out the rear yoke broke the retainers off if it somehow so i need to find a new one from somewhere but they dont like to seperate the yoke form the diff

[4.3LXJ]

Are you talking about those little straps that hold the U join in?

[T3k]

no i wish those were the problem im talkin about the little tabs that are one witht the yoke that holds the ujoint cap form coming off i did how ever find one i just need to here formt he guy i bought it on ebay but its in the next town over so im gonna see if i can go and pick it after work today as well as some other stuff he might have hopefully this thing will be back to rear wheel drive 4x4 by this week end so i can go have some real fun in it

Welcome to the site.

[T3k]

[denverd1]

Nice jeep. Welcome!

OK, I see now. Yes you need a new yoke then. Not hard to replace if you have an impact wrench. If not, you will need a pipe wrench and a couple of cheater bars.

[T3k]

ok so i got it back together with new ujoint i dropped it down to back it out and BAM i hear a horrible sound (GREAT I THINK) ok so it wasnt as bad as i though it was i put it back up in the air and seen that the axle is now rubbing against the newly installed muffler ok fine that sucks but atleast it wasnt something bad like the gears or some thing i got the center console in it looks good and i now have cup holders i just found some 31s on craigslist hopefully the guy still has them as they are only 125 for all 4 with ok tread super swampers good shit its coming along i just need to get some springs for the front and i guess a shackle lift for the rear as funds are kinda tight right now ill do a cheap lift for now

[4.3LXJ]

Wear your ear plugs with those Swampers. I had some, really loud in an XJ

yea the whole damn truck is loud its like riding in a beer can with wheels especially sense i dont have a radio in it yet trying to find that damn harness is killing me everyone wants to take 5-7 days shipping and im a bit impatient so but i did get the wife on board with building this thing up (WE) are making this thing into a zombie stomping monster xj hahaha :sniper:

[bluedragon436]

Congrats on getting the wife onboard with the build.. that will def. help it progress.. not to mention a fun way to spend some time together..

[T3k]

yea its will definitely make life easier with her on board she came to me the other night saying i think (WE) need to get one of those bar things that sits on the bumper in front of the headlights hahaha i said a brush gaurd yes she said and one for the back to awesome although cost more then i paid for the truck but im down for it if she lets me get one

now on to some other issues i went out wheeling last night and now my heat has stopped working if i sent it on high it comes out like radiant heat but doesnt blow so im thinking the blower resistor or some thing like that what you guys think

[4.3LXJ]

Yes, check that resistor. Does it work on high? If not check the fuse for it first.

[T3k]

yea i just checked all the fuses again and sure enough the fuse for the blower wsa blown i dont know how i missed it last night but what ever it works so off to bigger projects like welding the floors and fixing the suspention

[4.3LXJ]

Something I might suggest if you are having trouble blowing fuses repeatedly, is a small circuit breaker to put in the fuse block. Jeep uses one anyway for power seats and locks etc. That way if it trips again, it will reset until you get that sorted out.

ok so it snowed like a mother yesterday and i was driving home form work in 4wd while driving down the highway about 25-30 mph there's a loud clunking noise coming from the right front wheel like its not engaging 4wd or something it sounds like a vacuum leak then a clunk but its only while driving straight and the faster i go the faster and louder the clunk gets. i was just seeing if you guys knew or had this problem before

[T3k]

this is my new grand cherokee when i got it yesterday more to come later

You might check that front axle u joint. Also do you have a front Central Axle Disconnect on yours?
