I didn't wanna say anything cause I knew it wasn't done, but the bumper, to me, looked like a caricature of itself. Just seemed oversized, but the stinger really makes it proportional, and I'm sure the rest of the prerunner setup and the lights will only improve it. Very nice job

Unless I can get a heated garage for 2 days, It will have to wait until spring...

The lights, sidebars and winch will shrink it down some....
Did you bite your tongue off??? You not say anything
I take critisizm very well, I either improve upon what I hear, or let it go in one ear and out the other (Usually the latter LOL!!!)

NewKindOfClown

Well I had to give you a chance to finish! Can't criticize a half-finished project when you don't know the planned outcome...unless you just wanna be a douche lol

I'm assuming it'll take a couple of weeks for everything to get here. That gives me time to buy a SYE and find a driveshaft to borrow while I measure for new shaft.

I'm leaning towards the HD SYE instead of the HnT right now like we discussed. I'm just reading about the differences between the JB Conversions one and the Advance Adaptors/Porc/Rugged Ridge. JB Conversions states that their yoke is shorter than the competition. Any thoughts?

cool that works for me with the holidays and such.

The length of the yoke isn't a concern for XJs - more for TJs that have short *** driveshafts and can use all the help they can get with their angles.

Like i said, they're all basically the exact same kit. I'd skip the JB kit just because I don't know for sure if the stock front shaft will be long enough in that case.

any tips on replacing the thermostat on a 87 renix? im not asking for instructions, just something that only an FSM would know.

dukie564

nope just pull the old one out, shove the new one in. Make sure the breather hole in the tstat housing is at the top if it has one. Nugget in.

jakbob

good deal. ive never had to replace one. heat up to 160 and stays forever, even towing a fully loaded 6x12 uhaul trailer, so i think one is in the mix for me. Now that i think about it, im going to see if advance has the temp sender cause maybe that is whats bad. eh. ill let yall know.

what happens if the breather is at the bottom... does the motor catch on fire? lol (really i just want to know the purpose of the breather... besides breathing...)

dukie564

it helps to self-"burp" the air out of the system. Old school is you needed to squeeze the hoses to do this, then people got retarded so they started putting a hole there.

jakbob

ahh ok. i remember cruiser54 saying that he never had to burp his renix on NAXJA. btw i put you as a referall when i registered for here.

dukie564

sweet! Maybe they'll send me a cookie in the mail

LoveMy89Anya

they should mail free CF stickers for referring somebody, lol
