"Bumping" is replying to your own post to bring it back to the top of the forum's list. It is usually done by simplying replying with the word "Bump" or "BTT" (Back To Top). It adds no new information to the post and takes up bandwith. Regarding a roof-mounted tire carrier: Get a spare tire...

My girlfriend has a '93 XJ with Rubicon Express 3.5" lift kit. I put ES3000 shocks on it at the same time as I installed the lift. This was back in May, and it has only been street driven since. It will likely see 95% street use and some mild trailing when we're camping. It needs to be...

I don't care what tire size you run, but I'd try to stick to 10.5" or less on an XJ with such a small amount of lift. You can find 30s, 31s, and 33s in 9.5" and 10.5" widths, both of which will do nicely on stock rims. I bet you're not regearing, so the lighter tires will be nice and generate...

I've ordered the "Box4Rocks" version of this. I figure it cost me a little under $400 (I ordered it before the price incread). I got the front half of a '97 NP231 for free, and paid $50 for an '81 NP208 from a Wagoneer. I'm going to rebuild the NP208, but so far I've got a lot of gearing for...

As luck would have it, that blown slave-cylinder in the BA-10 has ended up making rather drastic changes to my Jeep Comanche's drivetrain. I've bought a '94 YJ AX-15 with 10,000 miles on it since NEW ($550). However, it didn't come with a shifter A friend got a 2wd parts XJ with an AX-15 and...

I put an '84 front axle in a '93 to gain 3.73 gears. I'll be switching it again soon for a '99 axle to gain 4.10 gears and larger u-joints (which were standard since '95).

Go to any parts store and get some "speedy bleeders". These are new bleeder valves that are one-way valves. They let fluid out, but don't let air in. I switch the stock bleeder valves out for these, put a hose on them and run them to an empty soda bottle, then pump the brakes while watching the...

Registering on PORC is pointless as there are plenty of other forums with information every bit as good. Thanks for reminding me of the posted phone number. Unfortunately (for me) it's been busy all day. I'm getting ready to swap a BA-10/NP231 out for an AX-15 and would love to toss a Box4Rocks...

How can I contact D.D. Machine without being a PORC forum member?

Ford 302 is a very nice, reliable lightwieght v8. The 302 in my work van has a quarter-million miles and runs well. That aside, I've seen an '84 Wagoneer with a Dodge 318, and have an '84 Cherokee with a 401 (that did NOT really fit!) whose engine was just removed... mostly by cutting the...

ES-9000s Nitro-charged adjustable shocks. Pretty cheap, too.

The shackles lower the rear end of the spring to below the gas tank so he hits them instead of the gas tank. Go with the shackles so when you buy a spring lift later you can still use them and be that much taller.

'Wheel it stock and when they complain about the rocker panels bashed in so the doors wont close, the t'case split open and the tow-truck fees, just tell them none of it would have happened if it had some more ground clearance. Or not.

I know it's only a 3" lift, but an adjustable trac-bar wouldn't be a bad idea either. $110 from Tennessee4x4 on E-Bay. Sometimes he has slow shipping, but mine came in about 10 days. It's always fun to hop in and give the steering wheel a few spins with the swaybar disconected and watch the...

That would be cool, some of those Buick 3.8Ls are turboed!

The title tells it all I suppose: I know I can put a '96 dual-diaphram brake booster into a '93 XJ, but can I put a '00 WJ master cylinder onto this booster, and will the push-rod be the correct length? Front axle will be a '99 XJ D30 and rear will be a '98 8.25 with '95 ZJ brakes, if that...

You'll have to knock the floor-to-frame brackets off both sets of seats, as they are different between bucket and bench. Then bolt the bucket seat brackets to the floor and set the bench seat over them to see what sort of mods you'll have to make. Finally you'll have to weld everything together...

I currently have 30" tires on my stock Comanche, and I've done trails 1, 4, and 5 in Tellico without any damage. I went with the International Full-Size Jeep Association (in the MJ because my J10 couldn't make the trip) and there were stock GWs on 30s that did the same trails. Parked...

I originally tried using a rust/paint removal wheel on a cordless drill, and with a lot of work it could clean the machined surfaces but not really get into the cast areas. I went with Eagle 1's self-etching aluminum rim cleaner. It's sulfuric acid, muratic acid, and hydrocloric acid all in one...
