    Feeler: 1993 built Jeep XJ

    Looking to gauge some interest on my 1993 Jeep Cherokee. There will be a couple options I am looking at. First: Buy the body of the Jeep, current axles will NOT come with the Jeep. Suspension included, current tires/wheels will NOT come with the Jeep. I would prefer to work something to where...

    Recommendations on seats?

    Going to be putting some suspensions seats and harnesses in my XJ. Obviously lots of different companies that make them. Right now I'm looking into Mastercraft Rubicon and Twisted Stitch Apex. Other considerations would be Beard, PRP, and Corbeau. I know PRP's are great seats, but, one...

    Jeep misfiring, sputtering, and stalling

    I have a 1993 XJ 4.0l that recently has started acting up. It started my last trip out wheeling, it would just shut off. Seem to happen much more going down hill. Generally would crank the normal amount of times and restart and sometimes would be fine, others would be badly misfiring and...

    Replacing middle (crossmember) exhaust hanger

    I searched some but couldn't find what I was looking for. I'm trying to figure out how to replace the rubber exhaust hanger in the middle of the jeep located above the crossmember. It seems to be riveted together or something. This is the one I'm talking about:

    Hybrid cage build thread

    I've wanted to build a roll cage in my XJ for quite some time now. Hybrid cages that are popular in my area (PNW) have always appealed to me. They offer good protection (both to the passengers and Jeep) and are still visually appealing. After a few recent wheeling trips I knew it was time to...

    shock eye orientation

    I was going to post this in Mod tech but figured I wouldn't get the answer I was looking for. I'm putting some Bilstein 7100's in the front of my rig and am trying to determine if the orientation of the top and bottom shock 'eyes' matters. So basically, the top mount is a T&J, so the bolt goes...

    BDS main leaf length/shackle angle

    I'm looking into getting a new leaf pack for my Jeep. I only want to net about 3 to 3.5" of lift though. I was really wanting to run a Big Offroad (Alcan) pack due to their quality and proper shackle angle, but their smallest pack is a 4" pack, which actually nets much more than 4". Does...

    WJ steering pump problems, did I get the wrong one?

    I just went to the wrecking yard and found a steering pump from a Grand Cherokee WJ that looked to be in good shape so I pulled it to use on my 93 XJ. All the write-ups I've seen mention that the that there is 3 fittings on the WJ pump but only 2 on the XJ pump so you're supposed to plug one of...

    WJ steering pump with 4.5" PSC pulley?

    I am looking to replace my power steering pump so I am thinking about upgrading to the WJ pump. While I was at it, I was thinking of using the smaller PSC 4.5" pulley. I know of one local guy that has this setup and seems to have good results, but was wondering how many others are using this...

    Back to the basics - Trackbar/Draglink geometry

    I'm in the process of building a new trackbar bracket and I'm wanting to make sure I get my angles right so I don't have bumpsteer/death wobble. I've always heard two different schools of thought on this and I'm trying to figure out the correct one. One is that if you draw imiginary lines from...

    XJ mini-boatsides

    Started a project on my XJ about a week ago. Previously I had the standard cut out your rockers, replace with 2x4 rec. tube. After bending up the passenger side really bad a couple years ago, I had three triangular supports welded onto the reinforced frame. This worked for quite a while, but...

    Trackbar bind, less flex on passenger side

    Recently had my Jeep up on a frame lift at my buddy's shop and noticed that the passenger side seemed to be drooping a lot less then the drivers. I'm running 11" travel Bilstein shocks and measured the exposed shafts on both and found the drivers to be at 11" but the passenger slightly under...

    Which H3 HID conversion kit?

    I have some 130w KC slim lights right now and would like to convert them to HID to get more light output and pull less watts. Has anybody done this with these particular fogs? Most the kits seem to be about 50-75 dollars and come with two bulbs and two ballasts. Can I still use the rest of...

    Those of you with rear shocks through the floor

    Looking to maybe mount my rear shock on top of my leaf spring plates like many do, but am worried about axle wrap. I currently have a OME leaf pack with a leaf added for about 4" of lift. It's a pretty soft pack. I have a little axle wrap right now but nothing too bad. My question is, for...

    My front tube bumper with winch behind the crossmember

    After running the M4O front bumper for a while, I decided I wanted to build a new front bumper to get a better approach angle. I have seen some people on pirate 4x4 (vetteboy in particular) tuck their winch behind the front cross member and I liked the idea, so I did that. I also like the look...

    No brakes after WJ booster/master cylinder.

    Got a 93, and just swapped in a WJ brake booster and master cylinder from a 99 WJ. Still using my stock proportioning valve. Before the swap, I was using a 96 cherokee booster which worked awesome, but it took a dump. So I swapped in the booster and master cylinder and bled the master...

    Which brake booster/MC with WJ front brakes and rear discs?

    Got a 93 cherokee with the WJ front brake swap. Also have a teraflex rear disc conversion. I've had a 96' dual diaphram brake booster on there since before I did the WJ brakes/rear discs. My brake booster is now shot (brake fluid leaking into it from MC), so while I'm replacing it I'm trying...

    Using sway bar bracket as BPE bad idea?

    I'm going to be getting some bilstein 5125s for the rear and was thinking about using the stock sway bar bracket as a BPE. I have heard that it's bad though because it changes the way the shock mounts (eyes of shocks are 90 degrees different from eachother). Is this a problem with the bilstein...

    Tying TNT truss into diff...

    Anybody tied their d30 TNT truss into the diff to increase strength? I'd like to do this but don't see a real easy way. Benefit would be increased rigidity which would help gears last longer due to less deflection. The truss doesn't sit close enough to just weld it so I'm debating cutting...

    Bilstein 5125 mounting.

    Looking at new shocks and am considering the 5125 and 5150 for the front of my XJ. Leaning towards the 5125, and am curious what the best way to mount them on the top is. I know they make a stem mount for the 5150, but is there one for the 5125 or is it just an eye mount? Best way to use the...
