One of my strips was without a rivet I guess it fell/wore off? Another thing about going back up with the hitch. You will be better off getting the exhaust pipe out of the way. You could either bend the bracket, or just install the tail pipe bracket/nuts last. That way if you install it last you...

Hello hupo224, This is good timming, I just now finished putting a hitch from a '98 on my '97. The nutstrip has to be installed on the drivers side (US Version/Right Hand Drive). I would suggest you chase the nut strip, nuts with a tap. You will need a 12mmx1.75 tap, get the die as well, incase...

Take a look at the Firestone Destination m/t. I'm giving them serious consideration. I have these tires, they are 235 75 15. I have had them for almost one year now. I have almost 17,000 miles on them. I can place my finger between the lugs, and still have tread above my finger. I rotate EVERY...

The stock 225 75 15's IIRC, yields 8.3 inches at the front diff, and 7.3 inches at the rear diff. My 1997 XJ stock to me, I can not see any mods to the suspension to suggest any extra lift. It is on 235 75 15 Firestone Destination M/T's. My front diff is 9.5 inches from the diff to the ground...

Is this at idle, under a load... If you get a pinging, or Diesel sounds upon acceleration, or under a load, bump up the octane grade of your fuel. You might want to check your timing also, if it is advanced it can pre detonate, with lower grade fuels. If it is performing like this at idle, then...

I found this online. I thouhgt they had Anti-Drain back Valves. I can tell you from experience this filter is a Great one. I have a Stock 1989 5.0 Mustang, the valve covers have never been removed or the engine touched. I have over 450 Thousand miles on the engine. All I used was FL1A's and...

So, you guys are talking about an FL1A filter (Motorcraft)? They are, well at least were two months ago $2.97 at Wally World. I have a 5 litre stang, it takes that filter. Cool, so I can get an FL1A for jeep also....or is there a Modification to take it. The post is not clear on that. Thanks. Scott.

Squared away, thanks guys. I am going to extend it out more (the rear vent). I am going to do some reasearch on those locker/diffs you guys mentioned. Scott.

I went out yesterday, got into some pretty deep mud/water. I checked the fluid in the axle housings, no water, so thats good. I did have water comming into the vehicle, shop vaced it out, and air dried the carpets, no biggy. BUT, I see the rear axle vent tube, it goes into the subframe, but...

Man, that sucks. I would definatly be at a loss there. Scott.

Langer1, thats Interesting...our truck guys take cash, checks, credit cards, with or without an account on thier truck. Maybe it's different in other places, but every Tool Truck I've been on it has been cash, checks, or credit card. Not saying your wrong, I've just never experienced it here in...

I have mostly Matco, Snap On, and MAC for my special tools for reasons listed by Tally XJ. I work at a John Deere Dealership as a Mechanic. I do have alot of Craftsman wrenchs, and some Non Impact sockets. I did happen to stumble upon a tool brand, Cummings Tools. I have a 1/2 impact deep well...

That makes sense, I looked and could not find any extra tank. I thought the same thing, after re reading the build sheet. Thank you. Scott.
