ive been looking for some extra storage up top, and ive been finding all sorts of cool baskets and gadgets, but nothing listed for the pathys... so my question is, has anyone had any luck retrofitting a rack off of another vehicle to the older pathys? like a YJ factory rack? etc? with the bump up in the roof in the back as well as the sunroof, im trying to find one that is short to just sit behind the sunroof, or one like the exterra and yj's that reach over and infront of the sunroof. my goal is to relocate the tire, mount some lights, jack, tow strap, yada yada stuff. ive been drooling over warrior products racks, especially the YJ options but just not sure as far as the fit goes, i cant build one, i have to buy, but i can modify allday, just thinking with such vehicle specific options in racks and accesories, finding which one will work and just replacing the rails on the pathy with a system that can be unique and easily changed would be perfect. thoughts?

well, this would be my third straight day tweeking on the pathy, yesterday i rotated the tires, deleted the overload rubber springs in the rearend, changed the oil, greased the chassis, then proceeded to apply a new fresh coat of mudd. i am utterly amazed at its capabilities now, i had to go back out again this time with a friend in his cherokee. i pulled him out 7 times and he was following me. let me say that again, he was behind me getting stuck after i had just trenched through it with ease. now for some tires and wheels, and a few suspension components. been wearing the fresh paint job like a badge of honor all day today. now im the guy at the street light dripping with earth and grinning while they are sitting in there audi's being jelous.

Lets see, set the idle, removed the factory side bars and flares, removed the rear sway bar, fixed my rear shocks, indexed my torsion bars, installed a cb radio, not bad for a days work!

just curious, assuming everything goes according to plan, how long would you allocate in a day to do this?

well heres an update. after some thinking i realised something soo basic. i replaced the battery the day i got the pathy, with crappy plugs... the sensors were trying to tune the engine with half a bank of plugs fouled. after i replaced them i reset the computer once again, after a month of driving it runs better than ever, starts 1 crank even when its cold. booyah.

yep just one side or bank. i need to start looking into fuel delivery.

it definately runs better with the new set of plugs but its still rich.

So, ive discovered that only the passenger side of the V6 is carbon fouling the spark plugs. i pulled them last week and they were pitch black, they were new one month ago. i cleaned them and within a week back to the same problem. i replaced them with a set of bosch 4 conductor platinum plugs and gained 2 MPG's but im just waiting for them to foul out again. what could be causing only half of the motor to get to rich of a fuel mixture?

i have a 90 pathy. its been having bad flooding issues lately. its intermittent but fairly regular, anytime the engine is still warm and i have to restart it, it will crank and by the 3rd crank will fire for a split second and its flooded. ive installed a fuel pump cuttoff switch temporarily but thats a bandaid. when it acts up i flip the switch and keep cranking. within 3 or 4 more revolutions it fires i flip the switch and she belches black smoke and fuel, runs on a few cyclinders until the flood is cleared (about a minute) and she runs like a top. without the switch move, it takes 30 to 45 seconds of continuous cranking before it fires. i dont know if its a leaky injector, bad wires, bad plug etc. im leaning on fuel delivery simply because it runs great otherwise. i have read about a water temp sensor issue that results in a cold reading to the computer therefore trying to start with a very rich mixture. i thought i would post here before throwing money that i dont have at her. any thoughts?
