I have an '88 limited that I would like to make into a tow rig for my Toyota, but still be able to wheel it and actualy flex in the rear. What are my options for variable spring rates? I was thinking about an airbag setup(still limited flex) or a hydraulic suspension like on the newer...

Not entirely certain if this is the right place, but there are mods involved so here goes: The Illustrious City of Tukwila(south Seattle) has informed me that I have too many vehicles on the property(I guess 6 xj's is too many :D) So I need to figure out what to strip and what to save, the...

I've been looking at cheap ways to gain more ground clearance, and for now I've settled on a 32/9.5 r16. for a spare I rwas going to carry a 32/9.5 r15 I have, but when I compared the two the r16 was a good 1.5" taller than the r15. Now, I was under the impression that the 32 was total tire...

Here goes: 1. Does the charcoal canister have to be right side up to function correctly? I am currently running it on it's side, no problems yet, but could there be a problem? 2. Do vaccume operated sensors all have to have separate lines?(i.e. map sensor, a/c vac can, ect...) 3. Why is the...

After replacing my alternator for the second time in six months, I realize that it might be a good investment to relocate it to a "safer" place on the engine. The spot that the A/c pump resides in looks tempting, but the a/c still works and still has R-12 in it. Has anyone ever relocated their...

Looking doing a buggy project out of a squished '88 4dr, and I was wondering how salvageable the B and C pillars are AFTER they've been bent to a 90 degree (aproximately) angle in the middle? The entire Passenger side is level with the hood, as is most of the drivers side. If I want this not to...

I know that many people have used S10 springs in rear as an AAL lift, but I was wondering if anyone had ever thought of doing this: Yes, those are hose clamps, and no, I would be replacing them with much stronger clamps. I would weld it but: spring + extreme heat = bad. It can't be that...

I broke my d30 housing the other day(306k and the passenger tube came out of the housing), got it home and found that the axle is not repairable. I have a lot of spare time, and only a little spare cash, and since d35 parts are so cheap, plus the 30 and 35 have the same spline count, diameter...

Recently located an '82 chevy 3500 truck with a LP D60 and 14 bolt, both geared to 4.10. My question is if the Passenger drop, LP axle can have the center section(or ends for that matter) rotated and be regeared to be a Drivers drop, HP axle? My main concerns are the vents and if the housing...

I found a Disc brake D60 rear end under an '04 E350 and I was wondering if it would be worth the $500 to buy it. I have been thinking about going to full size Axles (tired of turdy polishing, just to have it break again) and I have the $$$, is this a good deal? Aditionaly, is converting to a...

I have an '85 2dr pioneer that I have been building up for a while, but I just ran into a problem. I had a set of springs that I picked up from a buddy because mine were sagging(with 1in blocks it was at stock height) and because they were free. I installed the springs last night and found out...

As the title says, I have a welder(MIG) and I was wondering what sort of projects I could take on for relatively cheap. I was thinking about doing a cheromanche, dovetailing the front and rear, full exo (have tubing already and Profesional welder friends) and bracing the front suspension...

I have two high miles XJ's('89 w/240k, 91 w/238k) and I aws wondering which is "better" to put a stroker into? I searched around for stroker projects, and they all seem to be Renix, is there a reason for this? Both XJ's are in equaly bad shape, the '91 has a bad rod knock problem, and the '89...

Just picked up a '91 XJ HO ($200 so I can't complain :D), and on the drive Home, 62 miles, it got hot, realy hot. The entire last half of the trip the temp guage was hovering just shy of the red zone. Oil pressure stayed at around 30psi for the highway part of the trip. My question is, could...

I just bought a '91 XJ with 235k on the OO engine, and it makes one heck of a racket on startup, but seems fine afterwards. I only paid $200 flr the truck, and towing it home is cost prohibitive for me ($200 + $10 x 50 miles), so I was wondering if I could just drive it hole?  It only knocks...

I decided to buy a previously mentioned truck( '87 4.0l d44) but the roof looks something like this: No damage to the front on mine, but everything above the hood is toast. I'm thinking buggy, or topless with cage, or.... Ideas anyone?

I have the opportunity to pick up a pair of cherokees ('86 2.8l 4dr, '87 4.0l 4dr WITH D44 REAR) but I have to buy both for $100 or neither. The D44 truck had an awning dropped on the passenger side, blowing out front, rear and all P side glass, then it was allowed to be filled up with water...

Finaly fixing my mom's '88 XJ, and I discover this: What do I do? When turning the wheel or accellerating I hear and feel a clunk under my feet and when the wheel is turned either way at a stop the bumper moves in relation to the grill because the frame twists. :shocked: HELP!

A friend alerted me that when I went to make a turn, either way, my bumper moves in the direction I am turning, in relation to the grille. What's the deal? I've noticed a slight knock when accelerating and turning, but it was there when I got it. HELP!
