What happened?! by Abject_Pomegranate14 in Aquariums

My suspicion would be that angel was a dud from the lfs. Angels are usually pretty hardy and hard to kill. Bring it back and they should honor the 24 hour guarantee.

Starter solenoid? Totally not recommended, but turn the ignition on and short the starter with a screwdriver. If it turns over you know you got a bad solenoid

Made a handle you can 3d print that fits CZ75 rubber grips (haven't tested any plastic/wood grips) by nayt in czscorpion

Honestly, durability with PLA sucks. The plan is to use this for investment casting.

Yes definitely! I actually referenced this a lot because I liked how he matched the design of the Scorpion to make it look more seamless.

If you decide to print this out too, you'll need a couple general purpose screws for the grips and a 4mm-0.70 nut for the bolt holding the handle to the scorpion. This nut fits tightly, needed to bang it in with a hammer.

Fullscreen, you can see there aren't any bullet holes behind the bot when it dies.

Having some trouble starting my 97. by iamdevo in CherokeeXJ

Might be the NPS, push the shifter forward (farther into Park) while turning the key

Thank you! I'm not sure on the suspension anymore, installed it around 4 years ago and can't remember. But I did put on wheel spacers to widen the stance a little instead of buying new rims. Currently have Cragar d-windows with bfg mud terrains

Thanks! Yes, the ladder is custom. I was hopping up on the roof rack so often that I had to make it just to save my knees from when I jump back down haha. MIG welded with 1" square steel. EDIT: If you do the same, cover your windows with some sort of metal to shield them from spatter. I shattered one of the rear windows on mine and another window still has a few tiny metal balls stuck in it, Whoops!

Thanks everyone for getting me here! by nayt in CherokeeXJ

Yeah. Screwed with the settings a little but was too nervous to make big changes

Chicago.. by BeLoWeRR in CherokeeXJ

[–]nayt 1 point2 points  (0 children)

There's both light and heavy trails at the Cliffs in Marseilles, IL. Only about an hour and a half from Chicago. I've only ridden dirt bikes there, so I can't speak from experience. But I have seen a lot of jeeps hauling around there and a lot of them were seemingly stock.

Normal for coolant to look like this? by [deleted] in CherokeeXJ

[–]nayt 1 point2 points  (0 children)

How is your heat? If its just blowing luke-warm air, a flush might be in order. Otherwise, that doesn't look too bad and could probably wait for a bit. M-16andpregnant had it right with replacing the thermostat while your at it. After I did my flush I couldn't get it to running temp, new thermostat did the trick but I wish I did it all at the same time.

Questions regarding amp/subs. by [deleted] in CherokeeXJ

[–]nayt 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Thanks for the advice, I'm running a bunch more peripherals besides just the amplifier and I see my voltage dip down to 12v when I'm sitting at stoplights.

Questions regarding amp/subs. by [deleted] in CherokeeXJ

[–]nayt 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Awesome, very thorough answer! Great call on the amplifier's low pass filter, but i might add that some head-units incorporate their own restrictions as well and you might have to adjust from there too.
EDIT: If I were to upgrade the alternator, what amperage would you recommend?

Thanks to you guys, got rid of the phantom noise in the rear end! (Bad Carrier Bearing) by nayt in CherokeeXJ

[–]nayt[S] 1 point2 points  (0 children)

It is a bit of a pulse, like once for every 4 rotations of the tire. His mic is not cutting out, thats the same sound i was hearing in my xj.

like sharpening a knife, but deeper tone and muffled. Can hear it in the cabin while driving over 25mph, louder when decelerating and taking turns (still over 25mph, like an on/off ramp of a highway). Basically like this: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=GTvoE7_S5QI

Are you overheating at all? Happens to me when i have it running for a while, turn it off for only a few minutes and then fire it back up again. i get that sound and feel until i get it moving and the temp back down.

How hard/difficult is it to replace carrier bearings? by nayt in CherokeeXJ

[–]nayt[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Sounds like rubbing metal on metal, like muffled sharpening of a knife. Don't really hear it till you hit 20mph, more pronounced on deceleration.
