I'm sick of the issues with my HP30. It's lived a good life and done me well in its mostly stock form, but I'm tired of throwing money at it when simple things break. 98XJ HP30, 4.88s, Lockrite, HD tie rod. Ive thought about FW, and even got a set of axles, but the project fell through. I'm...

price i shouldve specified... way under 1000, preferably under or at least around $500. the 2610 is about the size and type that im looking for, but garmins site says like 1150$ retail! anyone know much about their new Quest? http://www.garmin.com/products/quest/# it seems pretty good, for a...

For christmas this year, I'm going to ask for a GPS system in my XJ. I'm in the process of putting in an internal rollcage, and i want to mount it on the dash spreader bar. i want to keep my head unit, so no AVIC n1 or other monstrously exp h/u+nav+dvd system recomendations, please. needs to...

I really would like to build this as best as possible, which, TO ME, requires HP for better ring gear strength and driveshaft angles. SO - my plan of attack now is to find a 78-79 HP44 from some sort of ford and shorten the long side to waggy width. NOW - new question: should i just use waggy...

correct me if im wrong, but arent waggy 44s low pinion AND pass drop? i thought about it too, but dismissed the idea on that basis...if im wrong, then hmmmm....

Due to some recent financial issues, my FW project has been scrapped. so now its back to the drawing board...heres my scenario: 98 XJ, 4.0/aw4/242, hp30 (4.88, lockrite), 8.8 (4.88, lockrite), 33s (soon to be 35s) on about 6-7" of lift (longarms). moderate wheeling, mostly trails (not much mud...

So the 110s dont cut it? i remember not too long ago, those things were like XJ gold...is a taurus fan (or these new intrepid fans) the wave of the future? i had a cheap e-bay elec fan, and it never kept it cool...ended up throwing 3 blades wile driving too... i just ordered a 110...wish i...

Im looking into doing this soon as im going 8lug FW and figured the massive extra weight would really justify some unibody beef. So what size plate are you all using? 1/4? 3/8? im not really worried about the extra weight, but i am worried that overkill on the plate might cause premature stress...

This is off my 98 XJ 4.0, 72k miles Intake Manifold, perfect shape, all sensors except IAT (and a plug/stopper), will include the fuel rail and injectors, all for $150 4.0 TB, all sensors there. makes a great core, or use it to bore your own, whatever. $85 offers don't include shipping, Im...

Yeah, id say thats 8" easy, looks about like mine...just a thought, if you werent prepared to go that high, and dont want to get all the accessories to run it right (read: LAs or DBs, brake lines, proper rear lift, shocks, SYE, driveshaft, etc.) you can always just sell the 15$ coils, probably...

10"? how many leaves are in the pack? can you send me some pics? im interested if they dont ride too incredibly rough. -Bennett

PMed you

So, let me get this straight.... youre dropping the tcase, and now you want to raise the engine? ... for all the issues that this will create as far as the mounting locations being nearly 2" different overall, im assuming youre just trying to cure some driveline vibrations? i commend you for...

ive run 4.88s in my lockrite'd 30 on the unit-bearing hubs and had no problems with the gears or anything at all. i DID go through hubs quickly, but i dont attribute that to the gears at all. i was light on the throttle though, so that always prevents broken parts (or at least makes them last...

I dont mind fabbing stuff up, i was just trying to avoid it if possible...this whole ordeal started out as what i thought might be a 1hr project (max) of just flipping the springs...so if possible, i dont wanna mess with making new hangers and/or eye mounts. i dont mind making the packs and all...
