I was busy once when the time came and sent my wife to Jiffy Lube to get the oil changed in the Jeep. I gave her really specific instructions regarding getting extras done. Things were fine until the next time I went to change the oil myself. I found that one side of the oil filter was caved...

Besides, the point is not to match the weapon you are up against, but to have superior firepower. If the bad man has a knife, I want a gun.

I think you will be much happier towing a pop-up with the XJ, I have heard many people say that they don't like the rear coils in the ZJ for towing.

I don't have a problem with {Insert car maker here} bringing back the name of some classic automobile as long as it doesn't suck. We all remember the Nova II, though, right? That sort of crap sickens me.

I had low oil pressure in my 4.0 and pulled the pan to find one of the bolts that holds the oil pump to the block in the bottom of the pan. The pump was not lined up with the passage on the block. It happens.

I would try to get a Toyota rear. I think the 2wd V6 Taco has a 5 on 4.5 bolt pattern already and disks (I might be wrong on the disks). Good clearance, good strength, comparable to a D44. Removable third member for easy gearing changes. Granted, this would require approximately the same...

I know that people commonly get 50k miles on BFG ATs, but I felt you needed another vote for the TruXus MTs. I have put 35K miles on mine and they have been great at everything I have thrown at them: rocks, mud, snow, dry pavement, wet pavement, you name it. They are really a great all around...

That's amazing!!!

Thanks for the info, we'll give it a try and see what happens.

Okay, after not finding anything in a search, I need some help here. My auxiliary fan has started staying on after I shut the Jeep down. This occurs intermittently. The vehicle is a 1995 XJ with the 4.0. I know some vehicles do this just as a matter of course, but I had never noticed my XJ...

It is nice to see someone in that position that is that down-to-earth. Would that all celebrities were that grateful and humble.

I have to admit, props to them for wheeling those gargantuan marshmallows. I would be hard pressed to risk $50k for such gutless wheeling. hasta

Since this is impossible, I would feel safer that since they will have handguns, I get to have one, too.

Another RE Superflex 3.5" that sits an inch higher on the passenger side. I don't give a rat's, though. My jeep looks like crap anyway, but it performs fine, so I don't mind.

This is a very loaded question that depends on the height of your lift and the desired pinion angle. What are you working with?
