After recent mods to my front suspension, including new, longer travel shocks, my front brake lines are now acting as "limit" straps. My knuckles are '76 Chevy K10, with high steer arms. They use a 7/16 banjo bolt to attach the flex brake lines. I'm currently using RE1552, 22in lines purportedly...

I'm in the process of "plagiarizing" various threads, in the hopes of fabbing a 3-link for my '88. I'm stuck on what course to take for the upper control arm mount at the frame. I'm planning a UCA of ~30 inches, using a 7/8 rod-end. S0 the mount will be ~ 7inches in front of the tranny cross...

I'm seriously considering purchasing and installing a set of Ruff Stuff frame stiffeners, as seen here: http://www.ruffstuffspecialties.com/catalog/chassis-channel-reinforcement-p-291.html :these will be the basis for my new 3-link project. I've done a TON of searching for a decent write-up, to...

My OEM clutch MC is showing signs of leaking around the boot---again! Happened a number of years ago, causing untold havoc with my electrical system. Anyway, back then ended up buying a replacement from local Jeep dealer. Didn't pay any attention to bore size, just bought one for an "88 Laredo...

Finally got tired of "pushing and praying" when trying to stop my '88 Cherokee. Before this mod, my brake system consisted of '76 1/2-ton Chevy brakes forward and '86 Cad discs aft; both mounted on Dana 44's. Moving up to larger calipers in the front, and adding discs in the rear necessitated...

I've picked an MC, now I'm looking for a booster that will: A) fit into my '88 with "reasonable mods, and B) fit my chosen MC--'99-04+ Dodge Durango, 1.125 bore I know, I know--use the WJ booster. I would, but it appears the Durango MC won't fit the booster. And why the Durango? It has three...

Wanting to zero in on doing the WJ booster swap, along with a Dodge Dakota MC into my '88. Done tons of reading, but couldn't get definitive answers for a couple of questiones. So I'd sure appreciate someone who knows the answere to give me a little help. Does the WJ booster interfere with the...

Don't know if anyone is interested, but found this paper that includes a dimensioned drawing of an XJ's frame. Paper also has details on bumpers and skid plates. Cheers: http://www.scribd.com/doc/3503715/Jeep-XJ-2000-13-Frame-and-Bumpers

Just received some new Bilstein 5125 series shocks. I'd guess the valving would be affected if I swap them from "stem up" to "stem down". So to get the 255/70 valving--with the 255 for compression, which way should the shock be oriented? Or does it matter?

Anyone using a thermostat to control engine oil temp in conjunction with an external engine oil cooler? I understand the theory regarding cold weather application, but are they necessary if nominal temps don't go below, let's say, 30 degrees fahrenheit? Any input would be appreciated.

I feel a little stupid asking this--but, here goes. First, I've noticed putting it into 4-wheel drive on standard, dry hard top, I got horrific binding and had a hard time getting the transfer case into neutral again. Then again, I've been up and down some really steep granite boulders while...
