    Does anyone have info on compatible suspension swaps?

    I looked at dakota and grand cherokee. Not similar enough.

    Pulled inectors.... Hard plastic lower o-ring?

    No, they got torn up on injector removal. New injectors didnt show up on time, so I re-used the old ones with that missing. They're kinda wiggly in the bores, but the fuel rail supports them well enough. So far so good.

    Front wheel drive

    All this stuff turns in regular 2wd mode. I have driven a lot of highway miles in the winter in part-time 4hi. I reckon the front driveshaft is the weak link; they start to squeak under load.

    Front wheel drive

    I don't think there is a definitive answer. I suggest gently.

    What did you do to your jeep today?

    Ran flawlessly to town and back today (30mins total). Idle is smoother and a touch lower; probably because of the fresh spark plugs. :)

    What did you do to your jeep today?

    Don't take this the wrong way... many shops poo-poo the old stuff to make one feel better about paying for the new. At 306,000km, mine looks pretty decent for what i can see with one head off. Some cross hatch still visible in cylinders. No collapsed lifters. Tensioner and guides on the one...

    Flick the ignition key 3 times to reveal your 'check engine light' codes.

    What did you do to your jeep today?

    I will have under $500 into this cyl head change. (Machining and parts.) My machine shop says they wont/dont do complete rebuilt 3.7/4.7 engines anymore. Pulling the engine from my parts KJ was not a nice experience. I'm happy to avoid it this time.

    What did you do to your jeep today?

    Front cylinder. Piston got a small 'eyebrow' dent... It will be fine.

    What did you do to your jeep today?

    Got to 306,000km almost 4 weeks ago and dropped a valve seat. Got the spare head back from machining a couple days ago. 5 thou to clean. Valvetrain back together. Should be getting head bolts and injectors shortly so i can finish up.

    Pulled inectors.... Hard plastic lower o-ring?

    I'm sending a head for machining, and carefully pulled out the injectors. The o-rings stayed behind in the bores. Below the green o-ring was a smaller, harder plastic ring. I'm not seeing this part in the o-ring kits. Any idea where to get this ring? Or do i have to get whole new injectors?

    Front end Qs re new KJ

    Mine were cast like the KJ. Just a bit longer. I have ordered things from those online oem parts places too. Hit and miss. Stock does dwindle out.

    Front end Qs re new KJ

    When i was hunting for the KK forks, the wrecking yard would only sell the struts/forks together. The top plate for the KK is different, so cant use them complete in the KJ.

    Front end Qs re new KJ

    Another cheat is to stuff 2" locknuts between the fork and strut. I've had up to 3 per side in there as my lift evolved. Alternatively, the KK forks are a bit longer and add a little height. But ultimately, a replacement 'quickstrut' is the proper fix to get back to stock ride height.

    Steering rack? Steering rack bushings?

    Minimal/No Lift Suspension Upgrade

    "Level" is an opinion on the KJ. The wheel wells are different heights and the body lines are not parallel. Edit: its also a bit of a teeter-totter game. When you lift the front, the rear typically squats a little.

    New to KJ and info on the lift I’m installing

    Also take the plastic rocker covers off and check... they can hide a lot of rust.

    Minimal/No Lift Suspension Upgrade

    Longer front bumpstop needed... to compensate for the top spacer. Otherwise the problem is the same as no factory bumpstop; the stock shock would bottom out within itself before the arms/knuckle stops moving. Edit: doesnt matter if its a top plate or a longer fork. More is more, and the...
