    Hood vent design debate

    As said above, the raised/angled part of the louvers causes a venturi effect to help pull the heat out of the engine compartment. I have the RunCool large high flow louvers. I do not believe they really made much of a difference in water temp but they did make a large difference in under hood...

    Tires

    I have the Falken Wildpeak At3w also. They are pretty new so like all new tires they are great. They have been awesome this year in the snow and wet in the sierra's. But you never know how good a tire is until you have had it for a few years and the new wears off. My Duratracs fell off a...

    Opinions needed (e-fan)

    I do. It is fair. I would assume the dirtbound kit is the same. Those small fans can only push so much air. Anyone who says different is just in love with the fact that they installed electric fans and hasn't really tested them yet. When it is 110 degrees out and you are running the AC they...

    Parts List

    Motocraft FL1a. Much larger then stock and made on the same line and with the same filter media as Napa Gold. They are also dirt cheap at Walmart.

    Friend looking to trade 2011 Rav4 for XJ

    Why doesn't he just sell his RAV4 and buy one and still have money left over? The value's of the two don't really work for a trade.

    Summit or JEGS????

    I placed an order from Summit 10pm Saturday night and it arrived Monday so they can't be beat if you live close to one of their distribution centers.

    Newbie saying Hello

    Not sure about the pinion but I had a little leak from my driver side front axle shaft and "fixed" it the next time I had the shaft out by putting a big glob of grease around the shaft where the seal rides and it hasn't leaked in two months of daily driving. Sweet jeep.

    Axle Shims

    Not sure who you are getting your driveshaft from but if it is tom woods they can help you determine the shim you need. I drove my jeep in front wheel drive for a few days while I waited for my shaft and shims to show up.

    Motor Mounts and Engine Plates by SFR

    I got mine a couple days ago and the poly bushing is one of the softest poly bushings I have ever seen. I doubt it is going to increase vibes much if at all. I wouldn't hesitate to buy one even if you are worried about vibes. I hope to install it next weekend sometime if you want an update...

    STEERING RECOMENDATIONS

    About 4". 3.5 RE springs with a 3/4 spacer. No drop pitman arm. I do have some bumpsteer but it isn't bad. I should probably look at my angles. I do agree that it is a compromised setup and the JCR spacer is a bandaid but for me it is a bandaid that works great. 831 XJ, I see what...

    STEERING RECOMENDATIONS

    I believe it is high misalignment. I looked at the spares I have in the garage and it has the same size misalignment offset the tre at the pitman arm has. I have Serious offroad 1 ton steering and really have no problem with tie rod roll. I use the bushings JCR sells to combat tie rod roll...

    Rear End Frustration Thread: Chasing the Thump and Bang Gremlins

    So are you saying you can't even get the shaft you took out to go back in? I would be looking in the brake on that side for something that isn't letting the shaft in all the way, but honestly I have no help for you. This thread will most likely help someone in the future though so don't...

    Need new tires and advice

    I have duratracs and they don't have Kevlar. After shredding a sidewall I emailed Goodyear to ask if they had any plans on offering the duratrac with Kevlar sidewalls they said they didn't. If duratracs already had Kevlar sidewalls you would think they would have informed me they did and not...
