Just thought I'd pass along my brief warranty experience with Ridgid. I bought a Ridgid combo January of 2011 that came with a drill and reciprocating saw as well as 2 batteries and a charger for $199 from Home Depot. The main reason I bought the Ridgid brand was their claim of having a...

I put a zone 3" lift on my XJ and stuffed 31s on it yesterday and they rub on full turn. Where does everyone recommend I begin for trimming? It's obvious where the rubbing is occurring but I don't necessarily want to just start hacking at my bumper trim..I don't want to make it look like a bad...

2000 XJ, 3 inch lift with new leaf springs in the rear. I've been hearing some awful racket when turning left...so I looked underneath and noticed that the very bottom, short leaf was touching my rear tailpipe...k, no biggie. But what really concerns me is how the bottom flat spring doesn't...

I have two subs that I want to eventually build a really nice box for...still in the planning phases...probably next spring sometime. In the interim I'd like to just get a cheap box so I can have a little bit of filler since I have zero bass in my system at this point. My previous box was not...

So I'm super bored at work...I work at a dealership, there's been a recall on high pressure fuel pumps so we have lots of those sitting around. One of the techs here took one and made a small makeshift washer fluid pump that I thought was pretty cool. Of course in my boredom my mind went to...

Gonna be starting our fence on Saturday and we have 25 post holes to dig. I live in a cookie cutter residential neighborhood...you know...those neighborhoods where they take all the good soil out, sell it and then back fill it with rock and clay? Needless to say the ground is awful to dig...

Anyone have any type of overhead storage they built in their garage? I'm going to be making something soon to get some of my clutter up off the floor and I need some good ideas to get me started.

Thought I'd share the special I just got for anyone else interested. 5qts of conventional Peak motor oil and a purolator oil filter for $12.99...and then there's a mail in rebate of $3.00 from Peak, so you end up getting an oil change for $9.99. I know there's a large debate over what filters...

...just thought I'd share. 3" zone plus pro-comp rear springs. BEFORE: AFTER:

I did rear brakes on the XJ a month back. Parking break felt nice and tight...didn't travel up as far when I set it as it used to...as expected. All of a sudden last night I pulled my parking brake and it went all the way up...now it's doing that everytime. Does that potentially mean it's...

2000 XJ...3" zone lift, pro-comp rear springs. The pro-comp rear springs ride TERRIBLY. I can't wait to get out of the Jeep everytime I drive it. Hurts my neck, hurts my stomach...absolutely too stiff and terrible. I tried loosening the bolts with the weight of the vehicle on the spring and re...

Is there a break in period on rear leaf springs? I got new pro-comp springs to replace my stock ones for my 3" lift...I REALLY hope there's a break in period on springs because these things are so bouncy it literally jars my neck by the time I get to work. It's not a harsh, stiff ride, but the...

I started my lift today on the XJ...it took me all day from about 3 until an hour ago to get partially done with just the rear springs. When I say partially done, I mean I got one out. and the other one almost all the way unbolted. The main problems I'm running into are the front and rear...

Just did my rear brakes and replaced all the hardware also...but the adjustment bolt isn't contacting the bracket...maybe a stupid question, but how can I get it to?

So I'm thinking of putting my air compressor in the basement since I have an attached garage and just running the air hose up into the garage. My question though, is it better to run some sort of copper tubing from the compressor into a wall mounted plate in the garage and then run my hose from...

I have a 2000 XJ and I'm going to be adding factory fog lights to it. It didn't come with them, but has the cutouts in the lower bumber valance. My question, is it pre-wired for them? I have an empty slot for the switch, but will I need to run wires as well? Thanks in advance

This has turned out to be the absolute worst job I've ever undertaken on this vehicle. I simply cannot get the oil pan back on. I've got the Jeep on jack stands on the frame, have the suspension at full sag, I've removed my center link, my stabilizer shock, my tie rods, my trac bar, my sway...

I have a 2000 XJ and am having some a/c problems. Recently the air was blowing warm, so in the past month and a half the evaporator, high and low side switches as well as the compressor have all been replaced...(very long story short)...and now it appears that it's blowing "cool", but not...

I'm looking to get an air compressor for the garage. I've found a local guy that rebuilds and resells them with a 30 day warranty (not that that's a long warranty...but a warranty no less)...he's got a couple of 60 gallon Campbell Hausfeld 125 max psi 220 volt 10.2 SCFM @ 90psi compressors...

I'm about done with my Cherokee box. It'll sit directly behind the rear seat and is angled to the seat and comes out just a couple inches, so I'm not giving up much space at all. And I can easily remove it if I want to have more cargo space and lay down the seat. It'll house two 10 rockford P3...
