Just one more heads up about yur tire on your stock roof rack. All I had on mine was a Yakima Load Warrior and a shovel when i was broadsided at about 35 mph. This was still hard enough to rip the crossmembers off the roof and put the basket just about through the other guys windshield (not...

Thanks for the input. Its almost identical to my last one. I didn't have any vibe issues w/out SYE. Didn't drop t-case iether. But my biggest question is still lift 3 1/2" or boost 2" and trim?

That is why they make these things called tents and why XJ's are called 2 door or 4 doors and not sleeper cabs. You can't turn it into something it just is not.

Do what I once did. put it in the back behind the rear seat. then take some cardboard and trace out the area above the tire and create a false floor on top of the spare. this will also give you space on the sides of the tire to store other gear hidden from sight, out of the way and out of the...

Sorry. i forgot to add to my original post. If you have a minute please Google or Youtube search "Detective Mike Phillips". I worked undercover for almost 4 years. He was one of my partners. If you are feeling generous, I'm askin any of my Jeepin' buddies to please help his family. He was a...

First, my apologies to my XJ brothers. I had crossed to the dark side after the demise of my Cherokee at the hands of a kid in a cadilac early this spring. I bought a TJ. I drove it all spring and summer with the top off and had a lot of fun. But whenever I NEEDED it to do something I was...

Sorry it took so long to get back to you. Like I said....been kinda busy. I probably coulda bought it back for less than 1500. My buddy at the shop was willing to do the work. I woulda happily done that for you. With the exception of the new front end decorating, it was real sweet. Looked...

Just don't have the time.:bawl:

My goal was to eventualy have a TJ...........parked right next to my XJ. I'm pretty sure I coulda fixed it if I bought it from the insurance company. My bigest enemy right now is time and I can't have a busted up vehicle siting around "until I can get to it".. I'm basicly in the middle of a...

I would start with the inexpensive stuff first. Try dropping yur TCase.

And Oh Yeah............ The police officer estimated his actual speed at 35-40 mph.

The insurance company just cut my check for $4800. I was hoping for a little over $5000, but that was close enough. They let me go to the shop and take my bumper and a few other items off, so I guess I can't complain. I learned a whole lot from y'all and it definately influenced my work...

Just maybe somehow it coulda been my fault, but the insurrance companies and the police officer seem to think otherwise. The other guy recieved several invitations to appear in traffic court. Following too closely, Failure to keep right and improper seat positioning. He only admitted to being...

Well. The XJ is dead. The entire front end needs to be replaced. The adjuster totaled it out and now I'm just waiting for a call from the total loss department. Looked for another XJ, but really didn't see any i was too impressed with. Unfortunately I've gotta get some wheels under me kinda...

If you aren't looking for hot-rod type stuff, there is no need to spend a lot of $. I usually go with Advance Auto and buy middle of the line pads or shoes. The least expensive ones seem to squeek kinda bad after a while.
