    I put a Mag-hytec on the rear. It probably won't be to good in the rocks.

    Project XJ Overland

    I wish you all the luck, you're going to need it. I am afraid that you are going to be spending much time and money for very little return, at best. Worst is that you ruin your XJ. There are many things you could do to your XJ to make it a real head turner and off road beast. So before you cut...

    Disconnecting ABS Brake system

    It's an 01. Had ABS, now don't. If the D44 and HP30 had it I would have connected it. I really can't feel any difference. I suppose the tires will now lock up and not pulse cycle. In states with annual inspections this might be a problem.

    Disconnecting ABS Brake system

    I lost my ABS when I went D44 and HP30. Pulled the fuses. No lights, no problems, stops just like before. Actually better with the larger D44 rear brakes. I owned and drove many vehicles before there was ABS. Want to talk about unsafe, how about putting 37 inch tires on a XJ designed for 29...

    Why do people hate 6.5 shortarm kits?

    I knew I was setting myself up for a comment, glad it wasn't worse than that.

    Why do people hate 6.5 shortarm kits?

    I have 5 inches with short arms and I have to decide, LA's, DB's, or sell it.

    J Money Prerunner Build

    Your XJ should have been at the OFF Road Show,,, looks as good as the ones there, better than the one we met looking at.

    Thinking about going to a long arm setup

    Spoke with Clayton and they use a Clevite factory rubber at the axle and a johnny joint at the frame that is nylon centered. The Off road show is in Pomona tomorrow, 3 miles from my house so I might see something there. Then there is the Orange county car show for the afternoon to get jazzed...

    Thinking about going to a long arm setup

    I hear ya. Just always trying to improve the beast. Just kidding about the new GC, it would drag over the big whoops.

    Thinking about going to a long arm setup

    The ride itself isn't bad for a 5 inch lift on SA's. But any sudden bump like a pot hole is a real shock as much of the hit is sent into the pan due to short CA angle. I would like to find a LA that has the factory rubber clevite bushings in both ends of the CA. The actual amount that the...

    Thinking about going to a long arm setup

    Mine is mostly street and hwy driven. What will change the ride for the better, the most, DB's or LA's?

    Spring Comparison: RE vs Clayton vs Big Offroad

    Are the Deaver 5.5 inch coils progressive? Looking to do something about the ride on the front as the washboard freeways are shaking my teeth out. I have RE 4.5 inch coils now, rated at 169 pounds they say.

    Anybody have a Truetrac in the front?

    I did a lot of checking and when I went 4.11's I did TT ft and rr, no problems and would do it again.

    Wheel base different side to side?????

    The difference, I have been told is to offset the crown in the road. It might pull right if you make them equal. This difference has been here and other places before and it is always the same so I guess they are made that way.

    hood vents

    I don't know for a fact, but I was always told there is a vacuum about where the windshield meets the cowl or at the rear of the hood caused by the air flowing over the hood and up the windshield. The idea being to pull air through the radiator and get it out of the engine compartment. That is...

    Best method to set a perfect wheelbase?

    My tire guy called it " radial pull". A tire that pulls to one side.

    Best method to set a perfect wheelbase?

    When you stop the left pull you'll probably get the DW,,,,lol.

    hood vents

    A slow walk through a big wrecking yard could be the answer. i think the cowl hood is the best as the vacuum next to the windshield will pull out heat and there is no rain leak, it's only money.

    Best method to set a perfect wheelbase?

    I vote for the unequal caster idea. Seems I herd that the Dodge 4x4 2500's are set with different caster side to side to stop the right hand pull. I have done all I can and i still have a slight right pull that gets worse with more speed and the caster fix makes most sense to me. I have adj...

    WTF did I do wrong?

    Drain the ATF from the TC and look for flakes of metal. If you are grinding you might have a big problem.
