What happened with the brakes? Was it a caliper, pad, rotor, drum, or shoe failure? I would love to hear more.

I could never get an OBD-1 scanner to read my 95 XJ, I have heard others having difficulty with the OBD-1 system as well, even though there is that nice little plug there between the airbox and brake master cylinder which is exactly for this purpose...

How is the Rusty's steering working out? Do you have the drag link above or in front of the tie rod? In front seems like it would allow the most droop, although I snapped the tierod end in half at the pitman arm when I had the axle drooping for some maintenance on jack stands.....it didn't snap...

Ok nevermind then, I have a 95.

What years will it work with?

Looks like they should support you much better for turns. Flat-Backed seats don't make any sense to me! The curve is very necessary.

Craigslist is your friend if you want to sell something, hint hint!

Has anybody figured out why this will not work with OBD 1 non-police setup? Grounding the proper pin does absoultely nothing.....no change in idle RPM, no nothing. Never see any OBD1 XJ's in the junkyard which were ex-Police so scoring the Police PCM would be pretty much as rare as it gets. I...

Is that the older design that has the different passenger side tierod end that the draglink attaches to? More like the JCR 1 ton steering setup or the Rugged Ridge steering setup. Their newer design rids that and has the draglink connect to the tierod instead of the tierod end. I can see where...

I've been happy with everything else from Rusty's except their steering conversion. I snapped one of their cast TRE's in half. Thank goodness it happened in my garage and not on the road. Another one of them is slopping around really bad right now. Had to pay $260 for the steering and then...

How did you set the Rusty's steering up to not have a dead spot?

I have full size matching-size spares in both my Jeep and car but I never put them in the rotation. I just let them stay clean and classy in the "trunks".

Looks like it needs a fender, header panel, bumper, endcap, perhaps a few other small pieces and then it should look fairly good. I wouldn't pass it up if you could get it for cheap!

It was the threaded end, not a tie-rod end...the same as I have.....HD trac-bar with the new mount that allows for a bushing on the body end as well. I own alot of Rusty's products and have never had any problems other than the leaf bushings breaking down in short order and the tie-rod ends...

I saw the youtube video of the Wrangler that flipped over on a turn in California due to the Rusty's heavy-duty tracbar adjustable threaded end sheering in two.

Strange, my bushings wore out within about a half year but due to the fact that I called a month after owning the kit for 365 days they would not warranty the bushings. Told me it wasn't them but rather the bushing manufacturer who had strict guidelines on only allowing them to be warrantied...

Flat towing sounds like a "flat out" bad idea then. Too many possible undesirables can happen given the cheap cost of a tow dolly...

That is pure beef!

Earlier than I would have guessed but I suppose still "late" if you take in to account the amount of time that an SYE for the 231 has been available.

Really, I learn something new everyday. Is the 242 kit fairly new? In the past I always remember hearing the only downfall to the 242 was that a full SYE kit was not available besides the hack-n-tap.
