I've been gone a long time... I just haven't been able to afford the gas or risk the broken parts to go off-roading in a while, so I've avoided sites like this that make me want to go more than I already do. :dunno: That said, I'm stumped. My Jeep is giving me trouble and I can't figure out...

Yesterday, I went wheeling up in North Georgia (Beasley Knob). The trails weren't that tough in general, even with 30" AT's and open diffs. Except for the sections were the ground seemed to be frozen solid. The surface was dry, but every so often I'd run into a patch where it was IMPOSSIBLE...

I have seen some pictures of folks attaching 48" Hi-Lifts to the back of the rear seat. I even found a place that was selling mounts for this purpose. But I can't find it now... (does anyone know who sells them, and if they are any good?) What are the downsides to this? Does it impede the...

Any of you suspension gurus have any thoughts on the Nth Degree Stinger? Seems like a good idea to me - having already had trouble with spring wrap... Nth Degree Stinger EDIT: btw, before anyone mentions it, despite their not listing it on the main stinger page, there do appear to be XJ...

I have searched, and after 20 pages of nothing even remotely like what I am asking, I gave up... forgive me if it has been covered or is common knowledge. I would rather not have to buy more than more driveshaft.... but I don't know how exact the driveshaft length needs to be... Currently...

Do the factory crossbars cause much drag? I'm about to drive 1000 miles towing a trailer... so my gas mileage will be bad enough. I intend to remove them sooner or later, but I don't have a little torx head driver to get rid of it. So my question is, would it be worth it to get rid of them...

How in the world do I disconnect the aux fan? I see that it has a red "slide" and a tab... but it won't come loose no matter what I do. Is there some trick to it I'm missing? I'm trying to put a new belt on and I can't get the idler pulley bolt loose. Also, do I need to loosen any other...

Relevant Jeep stats: 2000 XJ Sport, 4.0 AW4, AC (of course), NO tow package, anything else? My AC died on me.... so I took it to the shop to get fixed and they told me that the seals on my compressor had blown because the electric fan was not coming on with the AC and that was causing too much...

I replaced the power window motor on my 00' Sport today and after finishing and testing everything to make sure it all works fine I noticed that the power lock doesn't work if the key is turned to "ON" or "ACC". It will unlock - but it won't lock. Is it suppossed to be this way and I just...

Is anybody planning on being at BMRA this weekend (Feb. 29th)?

Last night while I was rolling up my driver's side power window, I heard a loud "SNAP!" and my window stopped rolling up (it was about 3/4 up). So I opened up the door today anticipating at least to be able to identify what was broken. Instead, there is nothing aparently broken - it just...

OK, so I finally got an angle finder... for a whopping $9.86... not sure why I thought they were expensive, but I'm glad they aren't. Anyway, I measured all my angles - and I'm pretty sure I did it correctly... Transfer Case/Output shaft slope = 3.5* down Driveshaft slope = 14.5* Pinion Angle =...

I watched a group of big Wranglers tackle Rattle Rock at Windrock, TN this weekend. Rattle Rock is a 5+ rated rocky hill about 125-150 yards long with boulders as tall as I am. Without stopping, or breakage or anything like that, an average run would probably take at least an hour to make that...

Just wanted to double-check that I am doing this proper. I've got the stock driveshaft with the 2" OME lift (which I've had nearly a year now) and I've had some very minor vibes on acceleration. I spotted some cheap (less than 10 bucks) shims and thought I'd give them a shot. My question is...

Is anyone here planning on attending the Southern Jeeps Asso. ride at Windrock Nov. 14th and 15th?? I'm driving out to Georgia to visit my parents and my dad and I are going. Just curious...

I know this will seem really silly to yall... but if it's not too much trouble - can I get my username capitalized (Drewlee77)? I don't know how I managed to not type it properly when I signed up, seeing as how much it bugs me (what can I say, I'm a perfectionist))... but anyway. I hope it...

I read through the "Who has beadlocks and still carries a spare?" thread and have some questions, really quite a few... At the risk of actually putting my inexperience into words, I might add. I don't get to wheel with the "big boys" very often (that is, virtually never) and my rig can't...

I've been looking for a video clip I saw about a year or so ago of a group of XJ's going through Mickey's Hot Tub. I thought I had seen it on 4x4trails.net - but I emailed him and I didn't know what I was talking about... so I guess not. Now I'm thinking maybe I saw it here. My memory is a...

I'm building a bracket to attach the storage pins for my JKS disco's (I'm tired of bungies)...kinda like what Off-Road General Store has: http://www.offroadgs.com/storage_holders.htm My question though: how do I bend the flat aluminum I have (1/16"x1.5"x4') without breaking it? I know...

As I was reinstalling my disco's (bolt fell out!) I noticed some scary damage. I have no idea how long this has been there, but it appears that my passenger side upper control arm mount rammed my tranny cooling lines and a metal flange. I don't have a camera for pictures. I assume they are...
