Looking for a set of leaf packs that give around 2" of lift for the wifeys XJ. Currently running OME coils and 2" blocks (yeah I know) so stock leafs are beyond shot or I would just add afew extra leafs or an AAL. Looking for really good deal, so if you have any old leaf packs from your first...

Do you know what for? This was a legal road. Haven't been there in a year or so, but was planning to go through there on my way to Max Patch this fall. thanks, -mike

Great, a few more votes for the current engine. In my original post regarding this subject, http://www.naxja.org/forum/showthread.php?t=53642&highlight=hydrolock, a few claimed to have had connecting rods fail several thousand miles later. I had decided that this risk compromised the...

Some help from the experts needed. So my hydrolocked 4.0 is still running fine but I can't trust it to leave the pavement ever again, so I'm gonna bite the bullit and buy a low mile used motor. I found one locally that allegedly has only 10K on it. Does anyone know how I could verify that...

Nevermind, I found it. car-part.com

Crap, that's what I was afraid of. I hope it's sooner rather than later because I'd like to take it into the woods again someday without worrying about being stranded. The more I think about it, I should probably just replace the motor now before it comes apart a long way from home and I have...

Geez Will, Did you have to post those pics? Now I'm gonna have nightmares. Hope it knocks or something before that happens. -mike

RichP, Yea, hydrolock didn't occur to me when it first shut down. I just automatically went for the starter...I forgot to mention that I did spin the motor once I had the plugs out and had sucked the water out of the intake. Actually I was standing on the pass side front tire and instructed...

Ok, yes I searched and found lots of hydrolock info. It was all bad. But mine is still running, and pretty well (I think). Quick background: 99 4.0, 120K, owned since new. Always good about oil changes and and maint., so engine is (was?) healthy. So it got a drink of water in a...

Finally. After suffering high speed vibes for at least 5 years now, it's finally all over. I just went up the highay at 85+ with barely the slightest rattle from the coins in the ashtray. For those who don't want to read the whole story, I'll start with the end. It was a bent output shaft...

Looking for front skid and steel wheels...PM'd you.

I'm in Asheville NC. looking for the "SE" style 6 spoke steel wheels, not the "sport" 5 spokers. thanks, mike

which steelies do you have, the 5 spoke or the 6 spoke?

:doh: %$#@!!!. I was thinking this trip was later in April, and I scheduled a job for that weekend. I'm an idiot, sorry for being so unorganized, I hope somebody can take my place. %$#@, I can't believe I blew an opportunity to wheel and get paid for it. :doh:

I'm still looking for one if somebody wants to get rid of theirs cheap (free?). I run a small lift and hope to drop the skid an inch or so from its stock location. I don't do deep mud, but I've had the prob of branches get lodged between the motor and axle. I'm in WNC, give me yours and I'll...

Don't mean to hi-jack this thread, but... A friend of mine has a 99 w/231 that is kind of difficult to get out of 4hi. He tells me it makes a nasty bang when it finally does pop out. Are any of you guys experiencing this? I'd like to be able to help him solve this problem since I pushed him...

Sounds interesting. Any other details on the group? japanese engineers? school field trip? journalists? nudists? Mine will runs those trails, count me in! -mike

I like the placement idea...but the tint is gonna seriously kill the light. You'll need big watts to get any usable light outside. Would get very hot. Could work well thru clear glass, plus branch proof and aero. -mike

As for the OME LT shocks valving, I can tell you that they do not come in the 'soft' valving. At least they didn't a year ago when I was shopping for them. They are much firmer than the 'soft' shock too. I know because I had both types on my xj at the same time. My BB'd OME lift loves...

Looks like I'm gonna make it too, but I'll have to leave Sat. after the ride. Wondering if there will be a moderate group going out Sat., since I'm still at 3 and 31's... I should be rolling in before dark friday. Weather is looking good! -mike
