    remote battery ground

    Yes the battery box is just that, a red plastic box with 2 holes with rubber grommets for the battery cables and a third hole that has a plastic vent line that I ran through the floor in the read corner drivers side. The kit came with 1 gauge positive battery cable and I think I will go down to...

    remote battery ground

    I bought a dual battery set up from summit. Also I purchased a remote battery box that I put in the back where the spare tire used to be. The kit came with 12 feet of 1 gauge positive cable and a 3 foot neg cable and the instructions say to just attach the ground to a suitable spot on the...

    Okay, now im angry, where else could this banging be?

    Two things. I have the exact same IRO setup on my 98 XJ. I have been running it since 2008. The castor brkt shown in post #34 did the same exact thing on mine and it is caused by the bottom of the bracket contacting the differential. Replace it, it is not expensive, if it opens up any more and...

    Iron Rock Off Road???

    Fenders were trimmed and I still need to remove more from the drivers side along the bottom near the door because when it flexes the sheet metal still rubs the tire tread. Anyway, here,s a couple of pictures They were both taken this past summer at an area about 130 miles from home on a long...

    Iron Rock Off Road???

    I bought their 6 1/2 kit over 3 years ago for my 98 XJ which runs 35 BFG,s and so far it,s great. In all this time only had 2 small issues. It is the 1st gen Critical Path kit and the castor brkt on top of the diff needed a little bit of clearancing on 1 side to keep it from bending. And on the...

    Iron Rock Long Arm Upgrade

    Ok, I have been running Iron Rock 6 1/2 long arm kit on my 98 XJ for a couple of years now. Mostly used as a daily driver to get me to my part time job since I retired at 55. I belong to a local Jeep Club and we do go wheeling usually about once a month. The IRO kit has been pretty good, but so...

    ALL-WHEEL DRIVE TIRES

    Our local Costco won,t mount 35's on my XJ because it's not original equipment due to lawyers and liability but they will also allow me to bring in the tires loose and then they will do it. So I said to heck with them and since they wanted $315 each for 5 I ordered on line from a 4 wheeler place...

    hydraulic rams for onboard jacks?

    maybe use a type of controller that allows you to extend the rams seperately so uneven ground would be no problem.

    Help with Canadian websites...

    Another method that works if you live within 90 miles of the border is use a parcel service. For ex I live in Wpg and the border is 90 miles away. I use a parcel service in N Dakota where I have my parts sent. The owner charges by weight, the 5 35 bfg km2,s cost me $25. Some flares ans spacers I...

    Iron Rock Long Arm Upgrade

    I have been running the 6 1/2 long arm on my 98 Cherokee for almost 3 years now. So far the only thing to break has been the zerk fitting at the end of the arm [twice]. Easy fix. I take it on a variety of terrain from sand pits to woods trails to some technical rock crawling. Our rock trail is...

    New motor mounts

    I put the MORE mounts in my 98. Like the others here it has a vibration when stopped in drive, throw it in neutral and it goes away. When I installed them a couple of the stock bolts were loose. On each side I couldn,t get 1 bolt to line up to go into the block. No big deal, they are way better...

    noise

    my 98 has developed what I can only describe as a kind of a growling noise from the front end. Yesterday I put all new tie rods including the heavy duty ZJ rod on hoping maybe that the old tie rods were at fault. Not even close although I do feel better about wheeling this coming weekend. Anyway...

    Iron Rock Long Arm Upgrade

    I bought the iron rock 6 1/2 long arm a little over a year ago and installed it on my 98 cherokee. It,s the older version without the crossmember. I also took the doestch tech shocks. The only worry I had was bolting the long arm bracket to the unibody so I added a frame stiffener before bolting...

    What about this suspension?

    I have the 6 1/2 long arm kit on my 98. The wife and I drove down from Winnipeg to pick it up in person last fall, nice shop, lots of modified cherokees and grands parked around the shop and the guys were knowledgeable and friendly. I,ve only taken it out a couple of times since its been a bit...

All of these use oxygen, in the 100,000 btu kerosene heater booklet it says to leave the door of a single car garage open 7 inches for...

    Motor Mounts

    I just did the M.O.R.E. mounts along with the plate that attaches to more holes in the block as a part of the ongoing build and the orig mounts were falling apart, the rubber had deteriorated so I figure I got to it just in time. You can feel a bit extra vibration especially at idle but for the...
