Does anyone know the weight of a STOCK XJ? I know that the '97s were just over 3,000lbs from the factory. Does anyone know if the older ones were lighter? If so how much? Thanks mattk

Has anyone with hydraulics mounted the ram to the diff cover? I have a 1/4" plate steel cover from Bluetorch so it would be easy to weld to, but my question is will it leak? Anyone have experience or problems with this? TIA mattk

need a circut board for an old Dip Pak 225 MIG machine. If anyone has a lead on the part, please reply on this thread. Thanks, mattk

I just installed a pair of 6" Bigoffroad leafs in the rear. I am still at 5" in the front. Man that looks and feels weird. I need a matched set of coils in the front. Weight on the front coils is 2100 lbs and I need about 7" worth of lift in the front. I put a high lift under the front and...

Hey, long time no see! I had a question probably for Kudzu or Woody. There is a member of my local jeep club here in FL who wants to bring his lightly modified wrangler up for a day and wheel with us. Does anyone have a problem with that? Of course they will be properly equiped for the trails...

O.K. before you ask is the fuse out, I think I need someone to tell me where the fuse is. I know where the fuses are located in the vehicle. The problem is that my two side brake lights are out. The top brake light works just fine. I have a '97 BTW. I have not messed with the stock wiring...

Somebody asked last week about this and my friend/mechanic just finished the job yesterday. Some pics: Case: http//:www.fototime.com/4E0B594A836011/standard.jpg Shifters: By the way there was some discussion about the need for a 1" spacer between the tranny and case. My guy said that he...

Well it looks like my 242 is slowly turning itself into a bunch of steel shavings. I'm not sure exactly what is wrong yet but the fluid that drained out was full of bits and chunks of steel. Exactly what is involved in an Atlas II swap on a '97 with an AW-4 trans? Is there any trick in...

Anyone know of a shock that isn't coil over that has built in bump stops? TIA mattk

I have a '97 with a AW-4 and a 242 with 98K miles on it. The case has a SYE form MIT in it. The T-case is making clicking sounds at low speeds and won't go into or out of 4wd well. It is not just a loose chain this time. I'll be tearing it open in about a week to see exactly what the problem...

Good news is I made it all the way up Slickrock without a winch last weekend! Bad news is I broke a Brute Force U-joint and trashed the short side inner shaft doing it. Good news is that I now have an excuse to upgrade. I want Dana 60 U-joints. They will be CTMs. I currently have a HP D44...

OK this is a stupid question but humor me please. How do you remove the starter? For some reason I can design and build a front long arm suspension among many other mods but I can't remove the starter. :mad: It's a '97 with a 4.0 and the AW4. I pulled the two bolts that I can see as well as...

OK I've been reading (and reading and reading) on the subject. My head hurts but I now understand anti-squat (I'm at about 75%CG) and roll axis. I have a few more questions. Has anyone read the article in the July 4wheel & off road Mag? Opinions? I managed to design a suspension based on...

I know we hashed through this a few months ago, but I lost the links. Anyone have a link to a good writeup for building rear coil suspension? MacGuyver had some great pics but the site has moved. I need help with putting together the unibody side mounts for the links. :helpme: TIA Mattk
