    Tighter outer diameter coil springs

    I currently have the RE1345 lift springs in the front of my XJ... Perfect height, but after I did the Clayton WJ swap onto my D30 and gussets, the coil springs are a bit of a tight fit in there. I just measured with some calipers and they measure at 5.375" OD right now. I'd REALLY like to get...

    Rebuilding Bilsteins

    I'm asking in this section not because I have a prerunner but because I think this crowd probably will have the most experience with rebuilding shocks... Anyways, I'm running Bilstein 5160's and they're in desperate need of a rebuild... there's simply not much dampening happening anymore. I...

    History: 2001 XJ 0630 Head (freshly rebuilt) Totally redone cooling system New battery New fuel pump Otherwise it’s pretty stock When the HVAC is set to defrost, the jeeps runs fine.

    Help me piece together a 0331 head repair

    It's a long story but a friend of mine ended up with an 00 XJ with the typical 0331 cracked head. He wants to fix it and between him and my brother and a few other XJ guys, we have an accumulation of parts that I think we can make something out of but I wanted to run it past all you first to see...

    Trailer wiring harness

    Does anyone out there make a 7pin plug and play style harness for our XJ's or do I need to buy the 4pin harness and run the extra wires myself? I'd prefer an all-in-one style harness for the 7 pin but all I can find is references to the Reese 4 pin kit.

    Brake booster problem?

    I am thinking this is not normal, but when I first noticed it on my XJ then I checked my on brothers and his was the same... Is this a problem or should I be swapping in a new booster. The brakes don't feel bad but they also don't feel awesome either. This picture is inside the jeep looking at...

    Flare options with ARB snorkel and cut/folded rears

    What are my options for fender flares on my Xj? Cut and folded rears and an Arb snorkel up front. I like the bushwacker flats but I doubt they'd work with cut and folded rears (hopefully someone can tell me they will!) I think the rustys flares would work but I kinda think they're ugly...

    Aw4 replacement

    I have a 98 XJ and the aw4 transmission in it. I am replacing my tired old aw4 with a minty one from another 98 that only had 50 000km on it. I have my old one out already and I'm getting ready to bolt the new one in and I'm curious if there's any start up procedures I should follow? I assume...

    RE hack n tap wobble

    I have been running the RE hack n tap on my np242 for the last 5 years or so. Lately I've developed a driveline vibe that I've tracked down to the flange on my hack n tap being a tad bit wobbly. Tightening the bolt that holds the flange on doesn't seem to help so I think the splines inside the...

    Info: I am running 8" travel FOA 2" smoothbody shocks on all 4 corners of my Jeep... these shocks have the heim ends in them rather then rubber bushings. Custom made mount on the axle end and a bar-pin-eliminator setup on the top end of the front shocks (both are double shear mounts). Rears...

    Brakes on my ford 8.8

    I swapped in a rear axle from a 2005 Ford Explorer Sport-trac last year. I put new brake pads and rotors on at that time (front and rear). I had my wheels off recently and decided to do the brakes again after seeing some ridges worn in the rotors. Interestingly the rear pads were worn almost...

    Long start on a 98

    My 98 is taking a long time to start... It has a brand new fuel pump, o2 sensors and crank position sensor. It will never start the first time I turn the key on. It will just crank infinitely. Once I try cranking it and then turn the key off and then on again it fires right away. I tried...

    Well it wasn't me that was rear ended, but rather my brother. I'm posting on his behalf... Anyways, he was rear ended today and the guy hit his tow package and bent it up pretty good as well as the rear frame rails. Initial estimates for repairs are in the $3000 range and they only address the...
