I didn't see this posted elsewhere, forgive me if I missed it. As part of the "Great CA Garage Sale"...

Well, I haven't had much interest to speak of selling the XJ, which is kind of what I figured would happen, so I'm going to assume I will be DD'ing it for the foreseeable future. I would like to put some time and effort into making it a more comfortable DD. IE, getting rid of the front...

Well, I'm afraid the time has come for me and my XJ to part ways. My boss would like me to get a Bachelor's degree in Comp Sci, and will be paying part of my tuition - how can I say no to that? Basically I will be working full time and taking classes on weekends and evenings, leaving me no...

Well, I've moved, just a few miles up the road really, but the important detail is that I no longer have a garage to store all my Jeep stuff in. I have moved all my stuff to my parent's garage temporarily, but it really needs to be gone soon. Here's what I have: 1. RE1600 trackbar, might need...

Well it took me long enough, but I finally took the XJ out and got it dirty last week. It was the first time I'd had it off road since installing the T&T long arms and the RE XD trackbar and brace. First I left the swaybar connected to try my hand at some "fast stuff." The front end ate up...

I just thought I would post up and see if anyone had shocks that were too long and would be interested in a trade. With the long arms, my 10" shocks are a bit too short, I have 7" of uptravel and only 3" downtravel with the current setup.

I have a slightly used set of Rough Country control arm drop brackets for sale, along with adjustable upper and lower arms. The brackets and UCAs are in excellent shape, they were used for only a month or so of on-road driving. The LCAs are about a year old and could use new bushings. I have...

My brother is selling his '97 Cadillac Eldorado coupe. He loves it, but he transferred to a collage in WI this year and couldn't afford to take his Caddy with him. He's looking to get $6500 for it, 45k original miles, gorgeous champagne exterior and cream interior, he put Magnaflow mufflers on...

I'm considering changing out my wheels. I got these wheels from a Ranger guy, they are American Racing Bajas in 15x8, 5x4.5 bolt pattern, the issue is that they are the 5.25" backspacing, and with my 33x12.5s they rub the control arms at full lock. I wondered if anyone here would be interested...

As the title says, I need a 33" tire to use as a spare. I'm running BFG ATs in 33x12.5 R15, but I'm not really picky about the spare as long as it's the correct diameter. Let me know what you have, and how much you want for it. - Dan

I got my longer discos installed tonight, so the old ones are up for sale. They are used, but always kept well lubricated, and they work great, and are very quiet. I lost one of the original nuts on the pins due to my being too lazy to use Locktite, you can see the mismatched nut, but...

I have a used set of 4.56 gears for a HP D30 and 8.25" for sale. I was going to put them in my rig, but I opted to get new gears instead. They are "well-used," I'm not sure I would use them in a DD, but they should be fine for a trail rig. Make an offer? Not sure how much these are worth.

Well, I got my new lift finalized yesterday, and I seem to have a new vibration. It feels like a driveline vibe, but I checked all my angles and they all seem good. I'm running a Rough Country 4.5" leaf pack with a 6* shim and 5" long (1" lift) JKS boomerang shackle. I have a RE SYE and a...

I happened to notice that Treks (formerly T&T Customs) has a 1-ton UTK steering setup, I was wondering if anyone ran their setup UTK and if anyone knew how it compared to the JCR UTK setup. They look pretty much identical, and the pricing is close, both companies seem to have sterling...

I just lifted my rig a bit more, and I was wondering at what point I would need a steering upgrade? With what I have now, I have right about 6.5" of lift up front over stock, and my drag link angle looks pretty steep, in fact the boot ripped on my pitman arm TRE and the passengers side boot is...

I took advantage of the 3-day weekend and installed my new coils and leaf packs. I ordered 4.5" coils and 4.5" leaf packs from Rough Country, I figured that after I put on an extended shackle I could maybe use a spacer to level. In progress: Final product: It seemed REALLY high for a 4.5"...

I just mounted a set of Bilstein 5150's in the rear of my XJ, and I'm a bit concerned about the proximity of the reservoir to the exhaust pipe. I mounted the shocks with the reservoir end up to keep the reservoir away from rocks and such. It's got about an inch of clearance, and I cycled the...

I have two sets of JKS upper shock conversions that convert the front upper shock mount from a stud-type mount to an eye-type mount. JKS part number 9601. I bought a set, then the shocks I bought from RuggedJeep came with them, and it turns out I will need to use the Bilstein stud-conversion...

Just wanted to give y'all a heads up - Bilstein 5150s are on sale at 4 Wheel Parts. The 10" travel shocks are $80 each. I'm not sure of the details.

I'm getting ready to install my 4.5" lift upgrade and Bilstein 5150 shocks this weekend, I am a bit concerned about shock length. I am going to install 10" travel 5150s in the front, and I was planning on using the JKS upper conversion and lower BPEs. That's going to effectively make my shock...
