I've been working on a new 94xj. I swapped my stroker motor from my 89xj into it. My 89 was a 5spd and the 94 is an auto. I swapped the auto flywheel in of course used the cps that was working before the swap. As far as I can tell all the connections are connected. I also used the distributor...

My 89 XJ is rusting a way and time for a change. I picked up a 94 XJ last week with ~230K and a good body. In the next couple weeks I'll be swapping my lift tires etc over to the new XJ. This means I'll have a ton of unused parts for sale. Most of the parts will come from my 89 XJ. All...

For the last few years now I've been wanting to learn how to weld. Last night I got a screaming deal ( at least I think so) for a lincoln 110 quickweld. I know I'm not going to be welding up bumpers or cages but at least I can learn the basics. Anybody got any tips? Parakeet

I finally got to wheel the XJ again. 4 months of putting in the motor, and 2 of getting to go to the park to work and not wheel it was needed. As of right now I will say that the best mod I've done to the jeep is the stroker. Never feels like I'm short on power like the old motor or my KJ did...

Can I extend fuel lines safely? My 89's fuel lines aren't long enough to reach the newer years intake's fuel rail return line. It looks it is rubber hose that goes to a steel tube that runs a ways under the jeep. Parakeet
