    Traveling to Europe

    Ohh one more thing, most EU countries you will not have any issues talking English. At least not in restaurants, hotels, museums, etc. And do not use travelers cheques - biggest BS ever. Bring some Euro's, but use a CC like Capital One that does not charge extra on overseas purchases and has a...

    Traveling to Europe

    I was born and raised in Slovakia and now live in Phoenix, AZ. I keep going back as much as I can and traveled through most of Europe - still have some of the more touristy, western countries to visit. Anyways, the hostels are great in a sense that a lot of them are really just regular hotels...

    XJ Rear disc swap with Pics!

    I am speaking from my own very scary experience when I say that if one line has a leak in it your entire brake system will fail. After wheeling one day, I didn't notice that one of my lines was loosened and leaking. We got on the highway and I set in on cruise control. When I got on the exit...

    OEM shock replacement - brand prefs?

    Love my Rancho 9000xl shocks. I can make them as stiff or as soft as I want. Rock Crawling and washboards I make them nice and soft to absorb and flex, for expeditions when the jeep is loaded in the back I can make them stiffer in the rear to carry the load better and then on the freeways I make...

    front winch bumpers?

    Buy one that't recessed, so that you don't block all the airflow to the radiator/tranny cooler/etc. I have had issues with mine at highway speeds...

    Fantasy XJ if you could...

    You didn't say how high you want to lift it or what tire size you want to run. If you want to run 33's you will need at least 4.5 inch and trimmed fenders. At that point you would want to re-gear to 4.56 to get back to norm. Arb's are very nice i have them but my friend has the OX lockers and i...

    Is something wrong with this?

    haha! yeah, they just removed it and tossed it back in for the photo. notice the belt on the front is sticking up... My guess is you'll need a new alternator on this at the least.

    American space program in decline.

    This might hit a nerve with some of you, but just imagine if the money spent on all the un-necessary military conflicts was instead invested in education, healthcare and exploration (space AND underwater) Heck we have not been to parts of our own planet yet. I am pro-war if it needs to happen...

    Crazy. I guess we all have it in us to develop such skills just never had the need to. He should try drum brakes... :-P

    4.0 Tuning exercise: phase 1

    Yeah the little bottle fuel injector cleaners do not do much to clean. I would have suggested getting them cleaned professionally and flow tested but you already got new hesco ones. I did read recently in one of the off road magazines here (sorry can't remember which one - maybe someone else can...
