I still have those armrests sitting right next to my truck (I tripped over them today!) The Eagle rear armrests and some front ones work (I got a pair of nice black ones from the Eagle my buddy parted with perfect chrome trim!) From: JeepNut Subject: fsj: Arm Rests Hey all, I'm still kind of in search of arm rests in the buckskin color for the rear doors on the Wag. Anybody ever tried any swaps from "other vehicles"... I'd like to just order new ones in a suitable color even if for some other vehicle. Although now that I think about it I have never asked at the dealership about ordering something like this...I have a call to make tomorrow... I got started on this again as I had to travel last week for work and saw a '87ish Wag sitting in a parts yard. Lots of good body parts on her if anyone is in West Tennessee. Interior shot mostly, but I bought the arm rests off the back doors only to get them home and realized the plastic is so old and stressed they will probably not take the screw the first time I put them on. I didn't notice how cracked and dry the plastic on them was... cest la vie. I don't know why I thought I could get anything decent like that out of a junkyard... hope overrides logic sometimes I guess... Should also mention there are 2 J-trucks there since they are hard to find, one has most of the rhino chaser parts on the front the other is newer vintage with the full width grille I think....both were rusty, step bumpers but rusted through, rough interiors, both had the full size beds with tailgates, couldn't be sure the condition, tho at a glance they didn't look horrible. Both sittin on wheels so they've got undercarriage parts...in case anyone is looking...

Pretty decent looking too and came with a new oil pump assembly and all the gaskets (felpro). Now I just need to collect the other parts I want to put on the engine plus strip my spare and ship it back for my core deposit! Is it necessary to keep the EGR system? I'm wanting to get a manifold that doesn't have EGR but not sure if this is going to cause problems. My '81 Wag has EGR on it now. I'd like to eliminate much of the emission controls except I do have to keep the catalytic converter to pass emissions in Illinois. Does the EGR really add that much to emission control? Am I going to regret using a non-EGR manifold? - --Vince '81 Wagoneer '99 TJ ------------------------------ Date: Fri, 17 May 2002 07:24:24 -0700 From: "Terrill, Patrick" Subject: fsj: RE: Rez is drooling The purpose of the EGR system is to lower the combustion chamber temperature and thus lower the NOx emissions. (eg - the higher the temp the more NOx is produced) As long as Illinois is using a no load emissions test and doesn't care about a missing EGR, it doesn't really matter whether you have it or not, unless you care about the extra pollution you may be putting into the environment. However, if Illinois, like many other states, goes to California's more stringent emissions testing, you'll have to have the EGR system installed. As for my opinion, a properly working EGR system doesn't effect the overall power and performance of an engine, so I'd go ahead and leave it on. But do note the words "properly working". An improperly fitted or incorrect EGR valve can cause an off idle stumble on many engines.

How many gallons is the XJ tank? Why do you prefer it to the SJ tank? Is this a good mod in general for the pickups? I'm sure you tried a screwdriver under the head of the skidplate bolt, we've all been there.... - - Landon ================ I tried to drop the rest of the old gas tank's skidplate (one bolt was spinning in the frame and I was too tired to dig out the hotwrench) then quit that and crawled under the back and test fitted the XJ tank. It had lots of room (and more) once I took my spare tire crossbar out (I guess it'll be going in the box from now on) The power steering is hooked up (the 4.2L pump is on the parts pile. It leaked out the front seal but had good hoses and pulley if anyone wants it) ------------------------------ Date: Fri, 17 May 2002 13:54:27 -0700 From: john meister Subject: fsj: FW: North West Rock Crawling Association Event, July 27-28 rock on... :) - - ------------------------------------------------------------------------- ** http://wagoneers.com ** ** http://freegift.net ** Snohomish, Washington USA - where Jeeps don't rust, they mold. ...and remember, leaving life without Jesus just isn't recommended... - - ------------------------------------------------------------------------- - ------ Forwarded Message From: "Starc, Dan" Date: Fri, 17 May 2002 11:46:46 -0700 Subject: North West Rock Crawling Association Event, July 27-28 To all interested, to compete or come watch: NWRCA Rockcrawling event, in Vantage, WA, July 27-28, PASS IT ON!!!

Asking price is $3990. I saw it on the dealer's lot a couple of weeks ago but the price was higher and I didn't stop. The ad says it's a local trade so it's bound to be rust-free. If anybody's interested I'll go take a closer look.

Unless someone close by you just has one to give away, it isn't worth much trouble. They're only about $50 at AutoZone. And while $50 is still a good bit of money out of MY pocket, I have to assume since you're on the FSJ list that you must bleed money anyway......"ain't nuttin' on 'em thangs 'at caws less'n fity!" as they would say around here...and then they'd spit.

Michael and Paul called it of course.... I was just practicing my Major Assumptions. Talk was of a $5 solenoid, so I find a $5 solenoid and ASSuME that it was the thing to order. Sometimes I surprise myself with my stupidity.... These other solenoids pull like my Siberian tho (48watts!) so I need to think of something cool to do with them.... Checking the catalogue that ALL sent with the parts of course I find the exact part Paul mentioned... Thanks for sorting me out guys! ...still gonna check the volts at the connectors tho....just curious... - -- - ---------------------------------------------------------------- '87 Street Comanche #24/100 '88 Grand Wagoneer ...and they say there's only one...
