    Tjm Bumper For Cherokee

    in 90-95 WD21 Pathfinders

    Posted · Edited by Soccerstudd5

    How bout getting an aussie to ship one over to you, or take measurements :aok:

     

    Sorry, best link I could find.

    What kind of bumper deals to the aussie's have? I think $300's a heck of a deal if it fits... This week is a week from hell as far as school work goes so I'll have to look into it more this weekend. That does look like a nice bumper though, thanks for the link. beer.gif

    Tjm Bumper For Cherokee

    Did a quick search and didn't come up with the answer I was looking for, sorry if this has been brought up before...

     

    I found some nice TJM bumpers made for a cherokee and was wondering if anyone has tried to put them on a pathy. I know some have used TJM from yota's, but didn't know about cherokee's. I know someone will say anything is possible with modification, but I didn't know if the brackets and such are similar or if it's significant modifications.

     

    Here's the link:

    There's also different range years, so didn't know what would work best.

     

    Also found this. Looks like the one Slick has, but I think that's a smittbuilt IIRC

    They look really good IMO and appear solid. What do you all think? Definitely cheaper than ARB...

     

    TIA!

    BL Confusion

    Looks nice and quite the deal, no?? :D

     

     

    Remember, these are grade 5 or higher bolts. As a machinist, I question how easily and nicely they will allow die threading... :shrug:

    Thanks B. I like how it looks too! biggrin.gif

     

    That's true, didn't consider that...

    BL Confusion

    I believe AC cuts down the 3" kits to make the 2" kit so you are paying for their labor. they will also sell you a 1"BL for $100 but you have to e-mail them for it.

     

    That makes sense, but still stupid IMO. A 1" BL might be the right size for me as I'm just trying to avoiding rubbing, but then again, I don't want to have to do this again if I upgrade to 32's, which I'm considering in the future.

     

     

    he has just scored an ARB or TJM bar off a non forum member in exchange for some parts off his old 87

     

    Sounds like a good trade... I'm jealous! Would love to be able to get my hands on a bumper, I even have a parts car to trade parts off of.... tired.gif

     

     

    Friends of mine did both a 3" and 2" BL for a Frontier and Pathfinder respectively. Both kits were ordered from 4x4parts.com (AC) My understanding was that the 3" kit was more organized and had better instructions. With the pathfinder you have to order the radiator drop down kit separate. Also, if you do the 2" BL on the pathfinder you have to trim the fan shroud. Not so if you do the 3" lift, if understand correctly.

     

    It seems likely you could cut the 3" kit down yourself, but all your hardware will probably be too long. Depending on how the hardware is threaded (full or partial length) it could cause some assembly problems.

     

     

    So with a 3" lift, would I need the radiator drop down kit?

     

    That makes sense about all the threading, but I have a set of taps at home that could probably solve that problem...

     

    I could always just get the cheaper one and see how I like it, who knows, it may be what I'm looking for. shrug.gif

     

     

    Thanks for the help all, things are a little clearer... now if I only have $150. Being in college sucks sometimes!

    BL Confusion

    in 90-95 WD21 Pathfinders

    I just got my new wheels put on, black cragar soft 8's with 3.75" BS, (will post pics soon) and I have a little rubbing at full turn, or when turning around 45 degrees and hitting bumps. So I started considering a 2-3" BL and the only place I can find one for a 94 is AC. What doesn't make sense to me is that the 2" is $170 and the 3" is only $145. This doesn't seem to make any sense to me, and I would like to put just a 2" on it, but it's going to cost a lot more.

     

     

    2" BL

    3" BL

     

    What's the reason for the extra cost on a shorter lift?

     

    Could I not just get the taller lift and cut an inch off the lift blocks if I wanted to?

    SAS Question

    Posted

    Thanks for the responses, I'm going to start acquiring parts and this helps a lot.

     

    It will be just a trail rig, at most just a driving to the trails but most likely just getting trailered.

     

    Appreciate the info and don't worry 87 pathy, I don't plan an trying to jump into anything I don't understand on a SAS alone, I have a friend that used to do a lot of these kinds of things and volunteered his work to help me out.

    Do I have a Problem with my syncros?

    I've been having similar problem but just shifting into 3rd. I've been driving this pathy for a few years and am not doing anything different. I thought I wasn't pressing the clutch in far enough for a while, but it's no different from the other gears. I would be interested to learn a good solution too... I have a rebuilt transmission too.

    Wheel Question

    Open centers?? Clarification for the elderly, please...

     

    I bought no centers so you can see the front hubs and rear drums. Is this what you mean or center caps that are open ended?? If that is the case, you would need the front open if you have manual hubs but could use closed center caps if you have the autolocking hubs (and fit over them, probably)... :shrug:

     

    I prefer the center capless look on trucks with dirt tires. Does thatr answer a question I don't really understand?? :D

     

    B

     

    Yeah, that's answers it. I didn't clarify much. I guess I meant the optional chrome center caps. But I think I'm going to skip those cause I like the look on yours without.

     

    Thanks, and sorry about the confusion...

    New Pathy

    Yeah I do have 3 I was just kidding. I keep all 3 in different places! That way no one can say anything. One is my DD, the other is in my grandmothers garage, and the 93 is in my friends backyard shed thingy lol.

     

    Nice. I have one at school with me, and the other two are at my friend's auction. He has a little extra space out there for cars. Who knew? :shrug:

     

    So what's your excuse for having 3? I already gave mine...

    What? that is the same one in each pic in my sig.

     

    I don't have 3 pathys :shiftyeyes:

     

    What about the three in your sig? (Not the pics)

     

    I think I'm going to stop at three.... atleast until my parents and gf calm down a bit about me having three, then we'll see what happens, lol.

     

    But seriously, one is just for parts and I just about have everything I want off of it, so it's about to be scrapped as there's not much there anymore. So 2 is going to be a good place to be. I'll try to rival Slick in having a big off road king and a DD. Trying to SAS my 87 and do some mild offroading in my (once again) new 94 and it'll be my DD.

    tire size poll!

    I was running 31x10.5x15 BFG AT's but when I sold the pathy, but the new owner said the alignment was wearing out the tires so she replaced them with some crappy cheap tires that I don't remember what they are, also 31x10.5's, that were on it when I bought it back. I'm going back to either my BFG's (as I have a full size matching spare that's never been used) or maybe some toyo's, cooper's, or maybe nitto's, depending on the deals I can find. I really liked my BFG's though. This is one is my DD so a nice AT would be nice for bad weather and occasional light offroad use.

     

    My 87 has some 33x12.5x15's with 4" TM SL and 3" BL. It sits up as high as my dad's stock 03 chevy 2500 diesel truck. Looks real nice, but needs a new set of tires and a SAS this winter before I can take her out again...

    What else do you drive?

    Just a personal joke, Bud. Camaro and firebird drivers are 94% likely to have a mullet... :D

    Mullets are 78% likely to be generated by inbreeding...

     

    Just ignore me. ;)

     

    B

     

    I thought you were saying you saw a mullet in a pic and I was trying to figure it out cause I don't know anyone with a mullet, lol.

     

    No worries, just couldn't figure out what you were talking about.... :itsallgood:
