Cradle drop questions
Oh yeah, the longer bolts! Good thing there's a Fastenal near my house. :) I'd appreciate the length info, thanks! Is the bottom surface of the frame where it contacts the cradle flat?- kjpilot

Cradle drop questions
So, I want to drop my cradle .75"-1" to reduce some perceived stress from my 4" lift. I can't find a definitive "how-to" on doing this, but it looks pretty straight forward. I'm planning on using three to four ~1.5" wide x .25" thick steel bars stacked up to the total height. I'm assuming the...- kjpilot

Well, considering E85 is cheap because when I pay my taxes some of my money goes to ethanol producers to help pay much of the cost of production... I have no interest in paying for your "inexpensive" racing fuel, so I hope it goes away fast!- kjpilot

e85 in a liberty
From a historical perspective, there was no gasoline in 1826. There was however PLENTY of whiskey, which everyone knew was flammable. So the idea of using alcohol to power an engine in 1826 was not ahead of it's time, but rather using what they had readily available. It wasn't until the 1850s...- kjpilot

International buys Jeep?
Last year I fell for a Hot Rod Magazine article saying AMC was coming back. It was the "April" edition but it was on newsstands in the middle of February. SHEEESH!- kjpilot

That's a popular mod to do on a Mazda Miata! I think I'm doing mine this summer.- kjpilot

front drive shaft??
A grinding & popping noise in 4WD is what my old 231 case did when it went bad. I think the T-case is still a possibility, but for $100, have the driveshaft replaced, if they are right, problem solved, if they are wrong, you get a new T-case & driveshaft, which you would have needed eventually...- kjpilot

All Wheel Drive = Full Time 4WD?
There are many variants of AWD, & Full-time 4wd is one of them. When to use it? Any time you want. :) I usually use it throughout the winter time when patches of ice are on the street. If it's a heavy snow & the roads are covered then I go part-time high.- kjpilot

I'm thinking this over...
You are jumping to some conclusions. I'm only willing to sell it IF I can get a reasonable amount out of it. The topic is "I'm THINKING this over" & I've stated that keeping it is an option I'm aware of. There are three reasons I'm thinking about this: 1) I'm desiring a very simple vehicle...- kjpilot

I'm thinking this over...
Oh yes! I've driven XJs lots & I prefer them greatly. When we got the KJ it was as a company car for my wife, and part of that requirement was it had to be a 2002 model year or newer, or else it would have been an XJ. I've wheeled the KJ before, just not since I got the lift & plates. Most of...- kjpilot

Dave, Those are all thought's in my head. I posted this question here to see what the KJ enthusiasts thought about the worth of my KJ as is. If I couldn't get you guys to think that it would go for $5000 to $7000, then no one would! I'd like to avoid the work of removing the lift, but seeing...- kjpilot

They did change quite a bit in 1997. The exterior is slightly more rounded & the interior dash & center piece is almost like a Pontiac, it's so curvey! Here's some photos, 1996 on top, 1997 on bottom:- kjpilot

If I did remove the lift, I'd also take the skid plates & shaved front axels, & sell those separately too.- kjpilot

I'm thinking this over...
Thanks. I prefer the '96s boxy shape in & out... always have. I figured I'd either have to return the KJ to stock suspension, & sell the lift separately, or sell to a private party who's interested. The salvage thing is a PITA, but we were able to buy it for $10K when it booked at $19K. It all...- kjpilot

I'm thinking this over...
Do you think someone would give me $7000 for my JBA 4" lift kit, if I included my 2003 KJ limited attached to it? The only draw back is that it is a repaired salvage vehicle. We bought it tat way in 2005 with 21,000 miles, it now has 107,000 & there has never been an issue with it. I'm just...- kjpilot
