Didn't see a RR one when I was searching. Lol rustys was 60, so was one on quadratec I think. I guess 50 isn't bad. It'd be cool to build one though.

Well not laying around but I can browse this metal remenents place by me, see what they have.

I need to build something. I bought a Hobart MIG last year. Only used it twice so far.

If I have to press down far on the gas pedal to get it to go at a somewhat decent speed, could that be my tps? And the cause of my 7-8 mpg? My jeeps always been "slow" now I know it's not a race car but compared to my sisters 96 xj with 216k it's slow as @@@@. Feels like its just sucking the gas while there is no power going. It's a 94 country with the 4.0. Also sometimes when I'm trying the speed up sometimes the tranny might stick at 2500 rpm and then shift a couple seconds later. New o2 sensor, fuel filter, recent tune up, fresh oil, air filter. It's been like this for awhile.

...my '96 just started doing something similar (I put a new cat' on a couple of weeks ago). I was going up a slight hill near the house, and it was ...weird. Different than every time before (which was press-and-go); wondered if it was the ECU getting to know the new cat' (this was maybe the 3rd or 4th drive since the new cat'); kind of felt like a sudden loss of power at the time??? Since, I'm having to punch down to get the oompf.



...very interested to see replies to this q'.

Check out where the throttle and other cables connect to the TB maybe its sticking. Needs some lube.

I checked them they are not sticking. Also I now have high idle after I put it in park. It jumps up to 1100 and stays even if I step on the gas. That happened after I changed the motor mount on the drivers side..

Try this:

Also, check around for any vaccum lines that might be disconnected, leanking.

None are. But I'll check again and thanks I realized that my cable has slack can't wait to try is out. Maybe it'll help my mpg

What about the frame side bracket? That to me is important. A buddy of mine got a Hanson bumper, paid over $1000 and it still only bolts up in the stock location.

I might consider using the sway bar bracket holes and make another tie in point.
