Hi Folks, I no longer own my XJ and won’t be purchasing a membership to give these away. The first to send me a PM gets them. If a moderator wants to delete this post I can throw them in the trash. The joints are 15 years old but NIB. Free shipping anywhere in the US via small flat-rate.

Hi Folks, I have a wimpy HF 110v flux-core welder that I need to upgrade. I'm taking on a major project that will require a lot of sheet metal welding. I already wired my garage with a dedicated 230v receptacle. Should I go with a larger welder or will it be overkill for my application? I...

Hey Guys, It looks like my second AGM battery from Batteries Plus has failed. This battery is bulging on the sides, which can be a sign of excessive heat or overcharging. I have a 160a Durango alternator, which I fear may be contributing to the problem. I had my alternator checked and it's...

Hey Folks, My XJ was rear ended a few months ago, and I'm now addressing the damage. I'm having it pulled straight. The plan is to weld on some rear frame stiffeners from HD Offroad Engineering. I'm looking for someone to weld them on. I could do it myself, but I generally suck at welding...

Hello, I did this a few months back and the time has come to clean some photos off my phone. Now you can replace your crappy OEM fogs with equally crappy Harbor Freight fogs. http://www.harborfreight.com/automotive-motorcycle/accessory-lights/clear-lens-halogen-lights-37349.html Total Cost...

Hey folks, I got rear ended by a Porsche Cayman today. In typical fashion, he nailed the receiver which transferred all energy to the frame. It was a damn hard hit but no airbags went off. I think both cars concealed the extent of the damage well. My receiver punctured his bumper and hit the...

Not the most thrilling subject. Mods feel free to move to OEM tech. I installed a factory grab handle above the driver's seat. The holes were there, but I had to use the screws to create the threads. To measure, remove the passenger side grab handle and use the distance from the back of the...

Hi Folks, Keep your eyes peeled for my sister's truck that was stolen in Ballard. It's a little purplish-blue Nissan with a white old-school canopy. It has chrome steel wheels. The interior is royal blue. She's been dreaming of owning a pickup, and she's only had it for a few weeks. :( If you...

Hi Folks, I have a brake related question. Say that I wanted to upgrade to some very large calipers that required more than your standard MC from the Jeep lineup. The closest match would be the MC from the WK running brembos (no idea on fitment). Other options would be a durango MC, which has...

Hi Folks, My alternator is dead and I'm upgrading to a 160a unit from an '03 Durango. I know what I need to do from a grinding and wiring standpoint. I have everything I need. I decided to make the wires myself. I'm using 1 awg wire that I already measured out and cut. I have a 175 'mega fuse'...

Hi Folks, Recently my jeep died while a relative was driving it. She tried to jump it and let it idle but it wouldn't stay running. I drove down to meet her, jumped it, and drove it back home about 15 miles without issue. I then proceeded to drive it another two days without issue. Today, the...

My XJ needs an alignment, and most of boots on my joints are torn and leaking grease. I've never replaced any of the ball joints or tre's on my 180k mile XJ. I also plan on throwing a ZJ V8 tierod on while I'm in there, and perhaps an OME steering stabilizer. I really don't feel like doing this...

The keyless entry range on all of my remotes (some with new batteries) is about 10 feet on a good day. Has anyone else had this problem? If so, how do you rectify it? 30' would be ideal, and I feel like that has been the case in the past.

I'm wondering how the Country 98+ limited door pockets are attached to the door panel? Do they use fasteners or are the pockets molded to the door panel? I'd like to install some on my '99 Classic if possible.

This is a short list of items that I didn't read about in any of the writeups. Most of them were non-issues, but worth mentioning Many of the oil pan bolts have studs protruding from them, make sure you have a deep socket. Many writeups suggest replacing with stainless. Good luck finding these...

Pulled this off craigslist before it gets flagged for removal. Hopefully Karma catches up with them: http://seattle.craigslist.org/sno/pts/1539053506.html

I've read concerns from naxja members about re-using wheels studs. I plan to remove them with an air hammer. Any issues re-using a stud? Thanks!

I love this quote. There is a longstanding joke on http://forums.thecarlounge.net/ (or www.vwvortex.com) that the Jeep 4.0 is king. Originally posted by Uranium235

Sorry if this is a repost. I searched, but didn't see anything about this. I'm particuarly interested in the 4.7 stroker crate engine! I wonder what it will cost? Mopar(R) to Introduce Online Ordering System, Live Mobile TV, Crate Engines and Aluminum Engine Blocks...

I've got coolant spraying like a squirt gun, right where the cylinder head butts up against the firewall. The coolant is squirting right at the firewall, then dripping down by the tranny pan. I'm guessing that it could only be the head gasket. Assuming that it is the head gasket, is it possible...
