I’m having a strange issue with my xj. Six weeks ago frame stiffeners were welded to the jeep at local shop. A rough idle was immediately noticed. A mechanic I took the vehicle to corrected a vacuum leak and I thought the problem had been rectified. Then while offroading, the idling problem...

Since I ordered moog cc782 coils springs a few days ago, I have read that some people have had problems with the upper coils on these springs sagging over time. In some cases they reportedly rest in contact with each other. So, I am asking what peoples' experience with these coils has been...

I am in the process of determining what minor modifications will need to be made to fit either 32 or 33 inch tires onto my XJ, namely adjustments to backspacing, bumpstops, and fender/ wheel opening. I want to optimize my reduction in backspacing in order to minimize any increased stress on my...

When I put my two inch lift on my xj a few years ago I used quadratec HD leaves attached to my existing stock main leaf (a bastard pack). In order to avoid overcompression of the Old Man Emu N35 (or was it N36 ) shocks I purchased, I replaced the stock rear bumpstops with MJ bumpstops for an...

I recently installed a zj fan clutch into my xj. Its pretty tight in there with the cfs 3 row radiator and I have been reading up on options for upgrading my motor mounts and transmission mount. All three of my mounts are stock but in good shape. From what I gather from reading and simple visual...

I have been getting ready to bolster my cooling system by buying the zj fan clutch. I bought the standard duty NAPA clutch that is recommended. In doing some further research I have become aware that there are space tolerance issues with this clutch and the CSF 3 core radiator, which I have in...

I guess this question goes in mod tech but I could be wrong. I have a Schumaker battery charger, with one switch that is used to select battery type. The choices are 1. regular lead acid, 2. deep cycle, and 3. AGM. If you have an agm deep cycle such as an Optima yellow top, would you set it...

Which statement is true? a. Adding a Rusty's or Skid Row transmission/oil pan skid is a great way to stiffen the frame as they tie the LCA mounts on the frame rails to the stock cross member. b. Adding a Rusty's or Skid Row transmission/oil pan skid is a bad idea in that they stress the...

Just wonderng about people's experiences with WJ lower control arms. They don't allow for any more flex than what their bushings provide which wouldn't seem like much to me. Have you run them and as a result incurred damage to your control arm mounts due to lack of flex, and if so, what was your...

Up until now I've always just used c-clip 297 ujoints on my stock Dana 30 axle shafts running 31 inch tires, open differential, and 3.55 gears (AW4 transmission). Never had problems with ujoint failure...just normal wear and tear and periodic replacement. Fast forward to the here and now and my...

I am in the process of regearing my differentials, so I need to make a decision as to what to do with my front diff. I am deciding between leaving it open and installing a Detroit truetrac. My rear C8.25 has a Powertrax no-slip. The front axle is a non-disco Dana 30, currently open. I do not...

In getting ready to replace my rusted out floors I've been doing some reading and found out that the "95 and younger XJ's have a seat reinforcement bar that runs perpendicular to the long direction of the vehicle for both front seats. So my question is, are any of the preformed floor pans...

as a hockey fan myself, just wondering what you do to get your hockey fix with the NHL strike going on. It is my understanding that college hockey is not as big in Canada as it is here in the USA. I mainly follow the college game myself so I'm not much effected...

I have an AW4 transmission, NP242 TC, dana 30 front, c8.25 27 spline rear, nominally 31 inch general grabbers but actual diameter closer to 29 inches. Using the gear ratio charts linked below inputing either 29 or 31 inch tires, I get rpm's that match a 4.10 gear ratio rather than a 3.55. Just...

What is your experience using hitch mounted rear cargo carriers regarding the fact that your cargo often at least partly covers your license plate or tail lights. Ever been pulled over? Or have you used a carrier with no issues? Ever noticed certain states where obscured plates or lights are...

In looking at the RS diff cover for the C8.25 axle I notice there is an option for a drain plug. By necessity, the drain plug must be located right where an impact from an obstacle is most likely. Isn't a drain plug on an offroad diff cover a bad idea, or am I missing something?

96 XJ, auto, 4.0 L inline 6 HO My heater blower has developed a mind of its own. The flow rate varies tremendously, from not blowing at all to full blow rate. It usually kicks into full flow when I accelerate and often shuts down when I back off the skinny pedal. Sometimes when its off it will...

There's a couple smart phone threads going but rather than butting in with my specific q's I thought I'd start a new thread. I'm looking for some recommendations on what phones, apps, and carriers to use for GPS. I've never used a smart phone...I just have a Samsung Rugby now. Ability to bring...

My no-slip arrived the other day and I’m getting ready to do the installation. My XJ is a “96 with the C8.25 axle into which the locker is to be installed. I have the stock 3.55 gears and presumably 27 spline since the build date is Fall of “95. I’ll verify the spline count before going very far...
