Not so much a "beast" (my wife doesn't like me to call my daughter that). Really, just all the stuff that one tends to carry in the back. I'm trying to figure a way to either anchor the spare tire or move it outside completely. But then you still have all your gear that you...

I've done a search but haven't found exactly what I'm looking for... and I think its because I don't know the exact name of what I need. I'm looking for a "cage"/ divider that goes between the back seat and the cargo area to keep things from flying into the passenger area when I'm out and about...

I haven't had mine hooked since I got tired of hearing my RE disconnects clank and pop. The disconnects are the only thing that I was dissappointed in from RE.

15 and Ryan. At Nelson Park. Are you a member in any of the local clubs?

Ok folks, here goes. I'm fairly new here but I've already gotten a lot of good advice. I've got an 86 XJ (wagoneer). It originally came with the 2.8 V6 (ok ok I know, but i was young and ignorant. And I think alchohol was involved.) Since then I've installed a 3.4 GM Performance crate motor...

I've been reading this thread with some serious interest. I just upgraded to the Rusty's HD Trac bar mount. I already had the adjustable trac bar but the tie rod end just wasn't doing the job. I put the new end in and new bracket and it worked fine at first but now I'm getting a popping noise...

Wish I could remember the name of the place but the latest JPmagazine - http://www.jpmagazine.com/toc/ - has an article on engine swaps. Including a v8 to XJ swap. They list a company that has the pieces to do the swap. I just switched my 2.8 for the GM performance 3.4 last october. Then added...

Take a look here http://www.trailready.com/cherokee.htm Near the bottom. I've been thinking about these. If I don't do my own.

For anyone who lives in or near Southeast Michigan, the Wolverine Four Wheelers club is hosting a truck show on May 10. View press release and download info/registration at http://www.wolverine4wd.org. All profits will be donated to charity. We will be featuring numerous awards and an RTI ramp...

Actually, It looks like the threading on the new end doesn't go as far up as it could probably go. There's at least inch (not including weld build up) before the thread starts.

Yep, Thats how I was able to get the Bolt in thru the new end. However, after measuring it looks like my front end sits to one side (passenger) by a half inch or so. But my suspension lift appears to have settled too. It always did have a slight tilt towards the front anyway. I did talk to...

I had thought about that. Will that be OK to leave that off and just torque the end down?

I'm Fairly new to NAXJA forums but I thought I would share an upcoming event for any of you Michigan XJ owners. This is just a reminder that we would like to support Jeepsters Offroad during their charitable Truck Show this Sunday April 13th from 10am to 4pm. It is at 44306 Macomb Industrial...

OK everyone. I went through and checked everything that you all suggested and it seems to be corrected. The cable was attached to the control arm just like martin said. So I repositioned that to the brake with a couple of zip ties. And believe or not Mopar makes grease specifically for...

I just finished installing my new HD Trac bar mount. It fit fine until I installed the new end. It seems to be about 3/4 of an inch too long. The new end is a little longer than the TRE that it replaced. My lift is a RE 3.5 and is about 4 years old at that. So I'm not sitting quite as high as...
