If you had to get rid of your xj because it no longer fits enough car seats, what vehicle would you get to fill the spot/do the same job? (Please, someone tell me that there's a jeep with three rows of seats) The only catch is that I'm broke, so I'm basically stuck with what I can sell my 00...

So, which one of you guys swooped up the $200 front and rear 4.10 gear sets (d30/35) Off of craigslist? That was a smoking deal. I almost bought it, even though I've got a 8.25 in the back of mine. By the time I talked myself out of it, and talked my buddy into trying to get them for his zj...

I'm looking to go for an overnight tomorrow, preferably somewhere around elbe, but if the spot is cool, packwood isn't too far to go. (From graham ) Now for what I'm looking for, the perfect spot would require some light four wheeling to access, be in a cool area (good scenery), have little...

Is there a fix for the wobble that develops in the side mirrors that comes with age, slamming doors and many miles off road? Thanks

So I'm 85% sure at this point that I'm going to put a lunchbox locker in the front of my xj. It lives most of its life running the wife and kids around on the road, but I do go wheeling a few times a year, and plan on doing the wabdr this summer. The vehicle is currently relatively stock. ~5"...

Would building a bumper that slides into the frame rails as far as it will fit strengthen the rear structure enough to negate the need to plate back there? I am looking at plating at the moment, but I want bumpers as well, and it seems that a piece of rec tube inside of the frame will be much...

Ok, so I have a '00 xj with a rc 4.5" lift, 31x10.5s, iro adjustable uca's, h&t sye, and that's about it for mods at the moment. It got rear ended last week. The car pretty much only hit the left side of the hitch. The frame rail was slightly bent just in front of where the hitch bolts to...

I'm finally looking at buying an air compressor for my garage. My most common tools used will be impact wrenches, air ratchets, and an air nozzle for blowing crap off. I want to be able to use sanders and die grinders and cut-off tools as well. What do you guys recommend? Something quiet would...

What trails should I be trying @ elbe hills orv park? I haven't had my jeep on any trails yet, and other than just playing around a little in the "bowl" at the end of the road @ elbe, I haven't really been wheeling with it, but I plan on taking it on a trail or two before the new year. I...

My driver side spring hits the frame side track bar bracket when that side is compressed. Is that just a fact of life with these vehicles, or is there something I could do about it? I have been thinking about a new track bar that doesn't use a ball joint on the frame side, (if they exist, I...

Im getting ready to order a set of 31x10.5 tires from treadwright. I've never had to pick off road tires before (im pretty much a wheeling noob) and im wondering if I should go for their at tire (looks like bfg at) or their mt tire (think Goodyear mtr) My xj has about 5" of lift and sees about...

Is there a way other than exercising the suspension to figure out how much compression I need on my rear drive shaft? I am a little concerned about the ds I put in over the weekend, as it only has 1/2"-3/4" of "squish". I loaded 360lbs of cement in the back and had a 200lb buddy jump on the...

Does anyone have any experience with arcfab parts, specifically their adjustable upper control arms? Thanks

I installed my 4.5" fixed arm kit from rough country over the last weekend, and found that I had vibrations coming from the front ds. I installed a 1" tc drop and had no issues with vibrations from the rear. The vehicle has a low pinion front diff , and I am on the fence weather to change to a...

Im starting to think about running a 3" lift instead of the 4.5" I had planned on. I plan on using 31" tires and I'll probably get a locker @ some point. The vehicle will be used mostly as a dd and to go hunting and camping and wheeling every once in a while. Is there much difference in...

I have been going back and forth on what lift kit to buy for my DD '00 xj. A few days ago I had decided on the rusty's 4.5" kit and was going to order it until I saw that it was going to cost me $200 in shipping. I had started looking for a way to work around paying that much to ship, which led...
