Ah yeah that's true. Didn't think of that.
Bunch of dicks, they deserve the court date.
Sucks you can't come man, but I've got no prob being the POC. I'll post up later in that thread.
Tell me about it. I'm sitting in the gas station parking lot and the Jeep won't start... AGAIN!

No, I don't lick fish.
I didn't feel like fooling with it anymore yesterday after I dropped the fuel tank and discovered my tank was in better shape than the replacement tank. At least I got a metal XJ tank skid out of it. Anyone need an XJ gas tank?

Well I'm going to be off the forum for a year or two. I did something stupid and traded the jeep on Monday for a 2018 mazda3 6speed. So I will be ghost for a while. I'm going to get a camanchee this for the next one in a little while. I'm kinda going threw this 1/4 life crisis type thing and I wanted a new car that gets better fuel mileage. Do I regrets my decision right now yes. Cause I have never had a new car before and its a wierd feeling for me.Is part of me happy yes. But is I'm just going threw this phase right now idk how else to explain it. I plan on doing a build thoe for 37s on the next jeep. Will probably be a year or two project. Want everything to be done right on the next one.

Yup. Not this time. After some thought though, I think I might have pinched an o-ring when I was putting the FPR back in (swapped it out with a spare when I was troubleshooting the time before just to eliminate that as a possiblity)... 'cause it seems like fuel is just draining RIGHT BACK OUT of the rail. I mean literally, you can do the poor man's prime with the schrader valve on the rail open and it will spray gas out. Do the poor man's prime with it closed, wait a couple seconds and hit the valve and there's no pressure.

At least you found the verdict...
Most would’ve been frustrated and just threw parts like crazy and not figured it out...
I did that at one point

I contemplated the same thing for a while...
My girl wants me to get a “new” car, but she doesn’t want me in a jeep
But you don’t have to be lost you can chime in anytime you want..

I think a lot of us tried that... I did too a few years back. Then I realized it's a lot easier and cheaper to actually troubleshoot the problem and think logically about how things are supposed to function, then check all those things along the path! lol

I'm going to get another jeep but I'm going to do a proper build on the next one. I want to be on 35s min. And I'm going to go long arm and gears and lockers, mollyaxles, she And all that good stuff. It's going to be a proper build its going to be built to run 37s but I'm going to stick with 35s. For the extra strength and extra wheel speed so tired clear out better. It's going to be a year project but it gives me the chance to do a real build instead of having to daily it and try to work on it at the same time. Becomes annoying after a while. He'll I might even go crazy and throw a sbc in it.

Originally I had her on five five and a half, but when my back started acting up really bad I lowered her down to three and a half in the front four and a half in the rear

Any of you fellas have any good suggestions on where to get the CORRECT o-rings for the fuel pressure regulator at the fuel rail? The multi-packs at the auto parts store don't have the correct size and there's no specific listing for them at any of the parts stores or on Rock Auto.
I had to put two o-rings together for the return hole and I'm not sure how long that's going to hold up. Running great right now though.
