Awesome. My plan is a 31" and some 20L gas cans. I have a sorta parts XJ I can steal cross members from, if I get annoyed enough though I'll find some other way to mount it. The bars are definitely sketchy, bringing home anything up there scares the **** outta me when I start tightening the ratchet straps.

Cleaned my throttlebody and IAC valve, replacing the TPS this weekend.

And woohoo for friends with the same generation vehicle/engine as you.

Fuel pump decided to not do anything when I drove to my buddys house to pick up my bike, popped his hood and took his relay, drove home, drove the honda to the parts store, and then drove to his house and put the new relay in.

Being my usual self about the bumper, working on it for about 5 minutes a day.

That's cool.

You do know that in a pinch you can just swap with one of the other relays, right?

wasn't sure what the others were for although I had just cleaned them so knew they were all the same.

I need to get some electronic degreaser, all the female connectors are still pretty disgusting on my MJ.

also thanks for that picture bud.

Excellent plan.

Have you opened up the C101?

Clean it out and tweak the connectors for sure.

I bypass the C101 with the CPS wires if the factory bypass hasn't been done.

Sensor ground test is quite important also.

drove it to work (work nights) the window was fogged on the outside... wipers smeared it horribly.. ... then the last tiny bit of wiper fluid emptied out.... had to pull over and wipe window off... =.=


So I picked up some rainx wipers and fluid. also picked up some rainx to put on it since I've loved it on my other vehicles.

Washed it before coming home... got home and realized how many dents and scratches it has... plan to go get it dirty again..
