    NP 242Transfer case question

    Thats what I thought too but wanted to see if I was right. I just used it in 4pt.

    NP 242Transfer case question

    I had to change the ujoint on the rear driveshaft and ended up with the wrong ujoint which forced me to drive to the auto parts in 4wd sans rear shaft. I have AWD on this Jeep and when I put it in 4FT it wouldn't pull, but I could see the speedo moving. That meant that the rear output shaft was...

    a MUST buy for jeepers with stock speakers

    I had the Polk Audio DB650's in the doors and the headliner soundbar in my 99 and they fit fine. I think the DB651's are essentially the same as the DB650's they replaced. Took mine out of the doors because I didnt like the way the tweeter hits the door panel. Replaced with some Polk Audio...

    extended 8.8 brake line

    I used the stainless line in my RE 3.5" Kit, but any extended line will work. Bolts right up to the factory 8.8 block.

    Hard restart after sitting for a while 2000XJ

    What you need is a new fuel pressure regulator. My 99 did the exact same thing as your 2000. I tried an inline check valve but that didnt fix it. The fuel pump wasnt the problem because it ran fine after started. Replaced the pressure regulator and it starts right up in the morning with no more...

    32" OLD MT/R or new BFG KM2?

    Another good mud/ice/snow tire is the Maxxis Bighorn. Read lots of review and they seem to be real popular...surprised no one has mentioned them.

    Your XJ - how much / miles when you got it

    1999 with 120K in damn near perfect condition but with broken ac evaporator. Bought in San Diego in Jan of 07 from original owner for the tidy sum of $5000 (chick was smoking hot too...) Currently has 142K and AC now works like a champ...

    What tire should I run?

    X2 on the Bighorns. I looked all over for the best deal on tires and read alot reviews. Everyone loves them, theyre not too loud and didnt take much weight at all to balance them. I got 4 on EBay for $640 shipped, mine are 16'' so if youre running 15" wheels they may be cheaper...

    Roof Rack?

    There should be a square button on the side of the bar that you push in and that will allow the bars to move...at least thats the way it is on my 99.

    8.25 or 8.8?

    Yup, its working great! Thanks dude. Another bonus is that you will get ~.75 inch of lift from the bigger tubes and the RuffStuff leaf perches...at least I did.

    Rough start/idle

    I have a 99 and it does the same thing when I first start it. Usually the first start of the day but it has that same "huffing" idle. I have already solved the bak drain issue with a one-way inline check valve but that didnt help. I lso have to cycle the key a few times to get it to start so I...

    8.25 or 8.8?

    8.8 FTW! I got mine from Stewie, he also welded the brackets for me (thanks dude!) and with about $60 in brackets you are good to go. Braking is much improved over drums and it is real beefy...just ask my back! 8.8 and dont look back...

    Interior Sleeping Room? 97 2dr...

    I just went to the NM border for a funeral and slept in the jeep. Im only 5'10" and HAD to sleep diagonaly or I couldnt lay flat. Wish this thread was around prior to me leaving! I was drunk and somewhat sick so it was a PIA literally...

    instant/large oil leak?

    On my 99, the oil adapter was leaking and it ran along the rubber engine cover underneath and was dripping off on the drivers side by the radiator. So I can see the oil making its way over there to that side of the motor before it drips down. I know mine did the same thing although not to the...

    Upgrading ABS brake questions?

    Good luck...I tried to get an answer on the very same subject about a month ago and got no help. I got a few hits that suggested to just disable the ABS and use Non-ABS rear discs. I dont think folks on this forum play around with the D35 too much but I do know that 94+ GC's had ABS Disc D35's...
