    Pattern Check

    Ford 8.8 with G2 4.56 gears, new bearings and Detroit Tru-trac. I think I am going to run it, heel contact a bit much but backlash is already pretty tight at .012 avg. Spec is .011-.016. Coast side makes my want to add a shim on the pinion but I don't want to throw off my drive side. Thoughts?

    Fuel Pump Noise

    Trying to track a fuel pump whine noise down. I have an LS swap (sig) but I am running a Spectre stock XJ pump (Renix style XJ) so the fuel setup is stock. I just got back from a 3,200 mile trip in the Jeep and on days where I would be driving 6-8 hours the fuel pump would be screaming like a...

    Signal Peak Fathers Day

    Anybody in? Going to try to make it to the top if there is no snow (the hard way, South side). I think you could make it with a stock-ish XJ. Probably leaving the Fordyce staging area around 10am. Having lunch at the top, should be fun.

    Knuckle Question

    So I bought a HP D30 to replace my disco D30 housing (couldn't get the inner axle seal to seal correctly) and I have a question about the knuckles. My old housing has the knuckles plus a separate caliper bracket and the newer housing I got from a newer XJ has the caliper mount built into the...

    GM Tuner in the Sac area

    Not Jeep related, but I was wondering if anyone knew of any tuners in the Sac area? I am running a generic tune which is leaning out my LS swapped XJ at lower rpm causing it to run really hot on the trail. Want to get it tuned to run better or more mild before I cause more damage. Thanks!

    Bilstein 5100 vs. 5160

    Who's running either model? I happened upon a free set of brand new rear 5160's for a JK (which would work perfect for an XJ with 5" lift which I have). My question is if its worth it to get a matching set of 5160's for the front or just get the 5100's. The rig is purpose built for...

    Air Tank Mounting Options

    I already searched, came up empty handed. Where is everyone mounting their OBA external tank? I don't want to mount mine in the cab. I was thinking on top of my Smittybuilt rear tire carrier swing out. I know some people mount theirs underneath. I have the Viar 2.5 gallon tank. Any pics of...
