They must have made some major changes to the 4.0 after 1992. I had had a 91 4.0, 4x4 reg cab short box and it wasn't much worse than my cavalier for fuel economy. It was geared pretty high only 1800RPM at highway speed but was never short on power.

My ranger does almost 2500RPM doing 100kmh.

It sure is a Ranger! I'm just kiddin' on the dislike. Nice Seal Island pics t0o, there's always something in your pics I can pick out and recognize. Not sure if you do that on purpose, but there are always clues. New Harris over the pickup bed, etc. nice, glad to have you posting.

Well, I did some fixing on the red jeep a bit. Replaced the broken belt and idler. still have to change the steering box, front passenger tire,replace the T-fitting for the heater and figure out why my volt gauge isnt working.. I was told that my altenator isnt charging but when i tested it myself it said 13 volts? I just replaced the altenator last winter.
Though now that I'm thinking... I'd love to find a Comanche... I'd gladly strip out the 2 door to make a nice MJ

Got some more done to the cherokee today, fixed the flat tire, put the roof rack back on, deleted the heater control valve until i can find another one, Re-filled the cooling system, changed the bad power steering pump, replaced the belt, now i just have to put my other steering box in it tomorrow and strip out the carpets to patch a nice big hole in the transmission tunnel.

Jeep is now offically back on the road! After a long day of changing the steering pump, messing with one of the inlet lines for a hour... [would not go in fer the life of me!] then its first test drive the it developed a bad missfire so i said may aswell replace it all, so i put in 6 new plugs, new plug wires, new cap, new rotor button, and put on a newer used coil jeep runs better than ever now! I also tightened the hell out of the jam nut on that stupid rustys offroad track-bar and had a friend weld it solid, It aint backing off now! I'll replace the track-bar with a better one next summer. last few things on my to do list are: Snorkel, LED light bars for the bumper and roof rack, Half doors, Rear tire carrier, and some new tires. then I'll call it done for a while.
