    Which Bilsteins?

    I had JK shocks awhile back from our last Cherokee, just never installed. I know they're definitely cheaper, anyone know the comfort difference between Bils and JK? Ideally going for most comfort being a DD and minimal off-road. This'll be her rig for the next decade so we are upgrading...

    Which Bilsteins?

    bought a 97 Country for my wife that we are "restoring" little by little with all new parts and a new engine. Looking at doing some coil spacers and shackles for a lift to fit some Rubicons on bigger tires. This is more of a DD, very light off-road/camping stuff. So only 1.5-2" lift. Trying to...

    ZJ pitman arm

    So I pulled the gearbox from a ZJ since the one in my XJ is leaking pretty bad. It was easier to pull it with the ZJ arm still attached. I've only got 3" of lift on my XJ, is it ok to use the ZJ pitman arm with this amount of lift? Or should I take it off and reuse the one on my XJ? I know the...

    10mpg???

    If I remember right, even though the o2 sensors appear to be normal they can actually be running on the crappy side. Even with the larger tires and not the right speedo than is a way off from what it should be. I've got a 3" lift on 245/75/16s which is about 30.5", the last tank I just got was...

    Gears + brakes question

    lazyxj, I'm looking for what'll be better on fuel efficiency with those size tires... I know 4.10s would be fun, but i'd rather save a little than that extra fun =) I've already adapted my driving habits to eek out what I can. I figure that people upgrade from the 8.25 enough, or in the JY...

    Gears + brakes question

    My 97 auto has 3.55 gears... I'm running 245/75/16 tires and don't plan to go any bigger in the next 4-5 years, if ever. From all of the gear charts I've seen, that size and gearing is in the range of "best highway mileage". Should I just stick with 3.55 gears if I don't plan on bigger tires? Or...

    Steering Gear Box - Recommendations

    I'm needing to get a gear box myself... was going to go the ZJ junkyard route, and eventually have the one in there now, rebuilt. old_man, could you by chance PM or post where/how to put the filter in the return line? It sounds simple, but instructions or a visual would help =) and what type of...

    Expedition XJ Build, Tech & Sources Thread

    So what I'm understanding from the article on the iPad as a Nav unit is that if it's the 3g unit it has a built in GPS which can/will connect to satellites outside of 3g coverage via the GPS chipset. We're planning on getting an iPad 2 but not use it on a network. So in order for it to be a...

    Expedition XJ Build, Tech & Sources Thread

    What Nav apps are you using in conjunction with the iPad? I want to do something similar, but run it off of an external GPS instead of relying on WiFi or pre-loaded maps.

    ohc temp reads 75°

    Well I'm stuck as to what the issue is. I got a new plug and sensor and plugged it directly into the bcm... Still reads 75. Could it be a bad bcm or something else ?

    ohc temp reads 75°

    Just installed a ZJ ohc using a minivan frame into my 97xj. Everything works great besides the outside temp. It reads 75° no matter what... Its a brand new sensor as well. Could it be that the two temp senor wires need to get switched to the bcm connecting wires? I wasn't sure if they had to go...

    Newb needs advice

    Click the search button at the top and type, lift,.lift kit etc. you may have to dig through some threads but there are a ton out there. 33s will require regearing unless you enjoy bad gas mileage and less power. Old man emu is more expensive but well known for quality and comfort. Take your...

    Newb needs advice

    What kind of trails do you plan on? I thought a big beefed out XJ would be what I wanted but wasn't what I needed. I've got a 3” lift on 30” tires which suits my needs. Eventually it'll have bumpers and sliders but I've come to the conclusion its best to think what you will actually wheel. A...

Also need to figure out why the ohc compass stays on when the car is off.,I have the yellow with green stripe wire from the zj...
