Did some searching on the site but didn't find the answer i was looking for. I have a 96 XJ and I want to swap in a column from an older model (the GM style) or even a smooth hot rod style flaming river column. The ultimate goal is to put an old school thin rim steering wheel in it to get rid...

I'm about ready to move in to the next phase of my build, axle beefing. Currently I'm running D30 front open w/ 3.07's and Cry 8.25 rear open w/3.07's on 31's. I know i need to re-gear. The plan is to step up at least to 33's but more likely 35's. It will be locked front and rear, probably...

The last few weekends I’ve been working on swapping in an AX15 to my formerly automatic 96 with 4.0. Most of the conversion has gone pretty smooth and I should be ready to start it up and take it for a ride this weekend. But something just occurred to me that I really haven’t given much thought...

A couple weeks ago my AW4 gave up the ghost in a spectacular clout of smoke on the NJ Turnpike. I always wished the rig was a 5 speed and now is my chance. What I want to know is, which 5 speed is the one I want? AX15? NV3550? I’ve had 5speed XJ’s in the past and I know I don’t want the...

I used to order things from them all the time. They were always quick getting things out. I ordered an old man emu steering stabilizer before Xmas and I still haven’t gotten it yet despite them giving me two different tracking numbers and promised I would have received it by this past Wednesday...

A few months ago I did the rear main seal in my 96 4.0 It has started to leak again. I’m fairly certain it’s because the wrong sealant was used where the two halves of the seal meet. But it could be a bad part. I used a Fel-Pro seal the last time. Do any of you have a preference for another...

Has anyone found a compressed air tank that fits inside the right rear quarter panel of an xj? Not the cubby, actually inside the quarter/fender behind the plastic trim panel. I have my 96 2 door apart right now and I can fit something up to about 4.5 inches in diameter in there, but all I have...

Was just under the jeep changing the oil and noticed I have a leaky caliper on the drivers side. So naturally I’ll be sourcing a set this week. I’m not looking for anything more than a replacement, it’s not in the budget for anything fancy right now. I will however be Ponying up for a set of EBC...

Hey guys, I have a 1996 2 door. My drivers side (manual crank) window regulator is giving up the ghost. My question is: Are the 4 door front regulators the same as 2 door regulators on a pre 97 xj? I have looked all over and have not been able to find a definite yes or no answer. My plan is...

The frame of my driver seat is bent from the previous owner. Presumably from the P.O. trying to get his wallet out by pushing against the back to lift his ass off the seat. I’ve been looking for a good used replacement for almost 6 months now. Seems as though (not surprisingly) 2 door seats in...

Anyone have a good source for a match to the rear washer hose? The only way I've been able to find it is with the whole arm for $30. I have no need for the arm and the mount bezel with nipple is intact. All I need is the hose itself. Even if I have to buy 25 ft of it its still probably cheaper...

I like the idea alot.... I just fear its gonna be all squeaky and rattley. Anyone have any experience with them or this company? Leaf spring sliders. Thanks!

Like the title says... I was daydreaming earlier and thought of it. Have the MJ tailgate pivot down like it normally would, then have the XJ liftgate cut short and hinge up like it normally does. Kinda like a cap on an MJ. I bet that would be pretty cool. It sure would be nice to drive...

I have the oh so common clear coat failure on the hood and roof of my 96 XJ. I like the patina of the worn paint, it lets people know its 20+ years old. However, I can't stand the white stuff that is right at the edge of whats left of the clear coat. Anyone know of a product that when mixed with...

If this isn't the right spot feel free to move it. I was going to post it in the pictures section but I can't start a new thread there. I assume it's because I don't have red letters. I searched around some but couldn't find what I was looking for. I'm trying to plan out two different mods...

Well Murphy's law seems to have struck tonight... I'm supposed to be headed out for the weekend from work tomorrow in the XJ. Last order of business for today was to hit the carwash. One of the drive thru ones, not a do it yourself place. I get back in to drive home and load up gear and now the...

The item I'm referring to is marked with the blue arrow. I've always called this the "kick down cable" but all of my searches for that have come up fruitless. I noticed that the cable is beginning to fray at the throttle body end, right where it comes out of the sheathing, so I'd like to...

I working on cleaning up the lift gate on my 96. The previous owner cobbled speakers in by piggybacking off of the sound bar speakers. When I bought the jeep the trim piece and the third brake light were missing. Ive got these two connectors that hang down. I assume one is the third brake...

I went down a bit of a google/amazon rabbit hole last night looking for a way to monitor my alternators performance in real time. What started all of this is I don't trust the volt meter in my gauge cluster. Every other gauge seems to have a significant but consistent "fudge factor." The...
