I just purchased this kit, thanks for the link. "-Replaces: All under hood vacuum lines including all those associated with the fuel injection system, cruise control, evap canister and the radiator overflow hose. It also includes two vacuum "T"s which are needed."

Metra has a bezel for double din radios now. https://www.crutchfield.com/S-ujLJY7ngxPW/p_120956554B/Metra-95-6554B-Dash-Kit.html BTW what rear leafs did you decide to get?

These springs did not come with anti friction pads in between the top two leaves and between the bottom two leaves.

Hey guys, I would like your opinion on the arch/flatness of my rear leaf springs. I felt the rear suspension has gotten significantly stiffer over the past 5 years and these images may show why as the leaves are getting pretty flat and increasing the effective spring rate. What do you think...

Hey guys, I'm curious to hear if there are ways to balance the difference between front and rear flex / resistance to body roll. SCENARIO 1: front anti-sway bar disconnected The front is so soft that there is VERY minimal flex of the rear springs Body roll begins to be the limiter once the...

It would appear that the input gear pilot bearing is seated too far forward and is prohibiting the full seatment of the trans output shaft. Does anyone know the preferred depth of this bearing in the planetary gear? Im still not sure how I seated it too deep...

I rebuilt a NP231J from my 1999 XJ with AX15. 2H,4H,N,4L appeared to be working properly before re-installing. Upon re-installation, I could not get the TC / Transmission flanges to be flush, as there was a 1/2" gap. It seemed like either the trans output shaft was bottoming out on the TC...

The rear sway bar has been removed. Below are images showing the process you describe. The distance from the shock axle mount point to body mount point is 27" just before the tire comes off the ground. (shock extended length is 24.5") AT RESTING HEIGHT WITH SHOCK FULLY EXTENEDED PICKING UP...

Hey guys, I just added JKS shackles and relocation brackets to my 1999 XJ rear suspension (OME leafs and OME 60053L nitrocharger sport shocks). With the additional equipment, my resting length is 22.5" of the 24.5" max extended shock length (no BPE and stock axle mounting on Chry 8.25). I...

I'm having a terrible squeak from my front leaf bushing. My process so far has been: 1. Used supplied Poly bushings and grease. (no squeaking until ~4 months of use) 2. Assumed it was the bushing material (poly), tried spray silicon, no luck 3. Replaced with OEM rubber 4. No squeaks until ~1...

considered mounting the compressor under the passenger seat or behind the paneling in the stock spare tire location?

1999 XJ Front Driver window motor got slower and slower over the past 6 months. One day it stopped responding. I just checked and there is 13V supply when the switch is actuated (up and down). I cannot hear anything in the regulator/motor. Does this confirm I need a new regulator/motor...

That's where I'm at. Detours vs JCR

1999 XJ, 4.0L During a recent coolant flush, I believe I ran the engine with an insufficient coolant inventory. While using a cleaner product the jeep idled and warmed up to ~200 F normally. However, after 1 minute of operation at ~200 F, the temp gauge shot to 260 F and I immediately shut the...

I do not have a crack in my existing exhaust header at this time, and am on the fence about revamping the entire exhaust system in 1 or 2 phases (everything now or just header-back now). Gibson has nickel and SS models that can be found for ~$300 at times, which is what I am tempted to...
