    This use to happen to me with my gmc what the problem was is that the ground wire on my sending unit was broke about 1/4 of the way across the wire and it would run fine for a while but if it would randomly stop working and then it would just magically start working again so I would check that and if you changed the sending unit recently check and make sure it is plugged in all the way that happens to me to. When I replaced the broken one

    windshield wiper fluid sprayer

    in General Forums

    Posted

    so mine front and rear shoot solid streams is this normal? and if it is how can i get it to spray a fan of mist style? if it is not normal how can i fix this? my issue is that the few times this winter that i had ice on my windshield the sprayers only put 4 holes in the ice instead of a full window melt ( i have deicer spray)

     

    is there a universal replacement to make them a fan spray or am i stuck with streams?

    the back doesnt bother me as much but the front does

    So today went to the local jy looking for rims and I noticed a couple new pathfinders 2 were r50s and 1 was a wd21 on the wd there are aftermarket lockers the lock wheel on the locker turns smooth

     

    Would they fit my r50? And the brand on the lockers said MM not sure what it stands for

    All in and I no longer rub with the 31s but I tried to put a pair of 33s under it today that my friend has and that's a no go so I'm stuck with 32s for now �

    so i think i may still be able to go with 33s because the 33s my friend has are on 17" x 8" rims and today i was talking to one of my othere friends that has 33s on a 16" x 8" rims and his tire mesure just under 33 like 32 1/2 - 32 3/4 i did not mesure the 33s on the 17" rim but when i put them on i couldent even lower the jack all the way and when we rolled one of the 33s on a 16 rim by my tire it fit in the wheel well but i could tell it would rub anytime i turned

    im thinking that since i have 15" x 10.5" rims with 33s i should end up having enuff room to fit if i take off my mud flaps in the front ( they dont do any good my tires stick out past them) but before i buy the tires im going to try and hunt down a set of 33s on 15 x8 or 15 x10 rims to see how they look set up by mine

     

    im guessing the smaller rim made the tire ballon more and sit a little wider and lower than the 17 as there was more side wall

    so im thinking with a wider rim and a smaller rim it will end up makeing the tire closer to a 32 in true height as the 31s on the rear on my 15 x 10.5 end up being 30s and the 265 75 s on the front ended up being 29.5s thats with about 7000 - 10000 miles on the fronts and 1000 - 2000 on the rear tires

    I should also mention that you need to mod your windshield washer bottle if you want washers. The stock bottle hangs wayyyyy below the new bumper & looks pretty stupid.

     

    I bought a universal radiator reservoir from O'Reilly Autoparts for about $10 & adapted it. Drilled 2 holes, then used the stock rubber gaskets with some sealer on them for good measure, added a length of small diameter shop vac hose & some clear hose for a breather.......

    Posted Image

     

    Then jammed it up under the passenger headlight & jerry rigged it with some metal strapping material (you can see it hanging in the photo).......

    Posted Image

     

    The filler hose & breather should stick up thru the original filler hole, cut to desired length.......

    Posted Image

     

    Now I just have to figure out some kind of plug or cap for the end of the filler tube & I'll be set. :aok:

    Could you do a more detailed walkthrough on this as I will be doing this soon

    xj Cherokee bumper mod to fit r50

    This.

     

    But judging by the pictures, it looks solid. Theexbrit did say however that he needed to tweak the "wings" on his, so I'm not sure if you'd have to do the same to this one. The sides look solid and might not respond well...

    Ya I noticed this to so I emailed the company to get more info on the bumper and they said that the center is a square tube and the sides are only c Channel so they can be tweaked

    so iv read on here that with minimal modification to the mount length and angle of the corners you can get the jeep xj cherokee bumpers to fit the r50s i am looking at this bumper ( http://www.nates4x4.com/Cherokee_Comanche_Front_Bumper_p/xjf.htm) as it is in my price range and going to be alot easier to mod than build my own on a jeep forum i stumbled on looking for bumpers they said this brand/site is very good i would like to know what you guys think of it

    what got me looking at the xj bumpers was theexbrit's post on the one he modded to fit his r50

    if somebody knows how to tag theexbrit so he could see this and comment on it the at would be great if you tagged him
