Haha thought it wasn't working. So no rtv or no paper gasket? This is for a 1990 renix incase it matters

No sealer. Just gasket.

Are you gonna index it while you're at it?

How old are your tires?? Just had the same thing happen to me. Got four new ones and what a difference, rides like a new Jeep. Got a good price at Sears online if you don't mind them being made in China.

Need your guys opinion. Couple weeks ago towing out a buddy he ripped my rear tow hook out. It was my fault since how I mounted it. Anyway what's the best way to fix this. I could just pound it out and try to straighten out the holes or I could get 1/8 or 3/6 steel and cut out the old piece and weld a new one in. I'm building a rear bumper this week so I still want it to be strong.

I wouldn't be worried about that rear crossmember being bent, just hit it with a hammer. For the hole on the uniframe rail, try to bend it out as best you can to be level and straight. What are you doing for bumper mounts?

I would use a piece of 2x4 tube inside the uniframe channel and weld in nuts to make a mount. Something like this:


About as strong as it gets.

I think like you said I can flatten this out then lay a bead on it for good measure. I'm doing the same mounts as your picture too

Yeah, remove that undercoating and you'll be good to weld it. I always catch it on fire every time I weld to a unibody...

Alright guys weather is good and I'm ready to take my virgin stock an transform her. Ideas for lift? I'd like it high but not excessive cause it's still my street car. So below 3"?

1plunk

so my lower control arm bushings on my RC 3" fixed arms are shot and im looking to either replace the bushing (My searches lead me to believe that RC doesn't offer replacements and i'd have to buy new arms.... screw that) So now im wondering if it's possible to longarms under only 3" of lift (Lift coils, not spacer). Most of the LA kits say 4" or above, but I don't want to spend all the money to go to 4" (steering, brake lines, etc.) but if im upgrading arms it might as well be long arms so im ready to go higher in the future. Anybody got any ideas?

Call rc, they have bushings

3" isn't high, and you said car, you need smacked

Xjlife101

You can go budget boost from amazon (fat bobs garage is where I got mine) or you can go junkyard lift. Remember, you also get lift from bigger tires (31's from a 235= ~ +1.5")
A 2" BB would cost about $50-$70 to do front and back. But at 2", stock 235's don't look too outta place.

But whatever you do, DONT use lift blocks on the back. Terrible things will happen if you wheel it. Or drive it. Or maybe look at it.

well what's to high in your opinion?
