I had the same issue and it was the CPS. I only changed one part so I know it was the culprit. I had two symptoms. One was it shutting off once in traffic and every time I climbed into Big Bear. The other was in rough terrain. The first bunch of times I'd let pressure out of the fuel rail and...

Hey a name I haven't seen in a long time! I still read this site a lot but don't really post now that I sold the XJ. When we are rich Kamber wants another XJ. She loved the slow rock life but we can't afford two toys at the moment...we had our first kid 5 months ago! You still out at any...

Removed all the fiberglass before hitting rocks.

So my Jeep is up for sale again! The guy is a friend of a friend and didn't dig the go slow sport. Listed at $8,900 but I'm sure he'd take much less. I'm still loving the Explorer. Big bear was fun.

Haha I was just thinking this thread keeps reminding me why I sold my race car!

Re: Re: Pahl McAllister's Pre-runner/Rock Crawler Custom mounted 62" Deavers designed for a Toyota spring under. Way more free arch than deavers for an explorer which gives the up travel needed to actually go fast. 9" up and 11" down for 20" of rear travel to go with the 16 up front. Keep in...

93 Ford Explorer 4x4 long travel full cage and bucket seats for 4 adults. 35" BFG ATs. Taking it to Big Bear next weekend!

Well I am out of the XJ game...I gave up. Sold it for $8,500 today and bought my new toy for $9,000

Did you sell the trac bar heims and tube? I have $70 if you'll take it. Thanks.

Centermounted lower arms like the Ruff-rider race trucks of the '90's had. For go fast Raduis Arm it was stronger and gives the clearance one needed for large tires. Of course you'd have to custom fab the mounts into a skid/crossmemeber and either bend the arms or re-do your lower axle mounts...

Looks like 2" wide is what I need. The heims have everything, bungs spacers and jam nuts? How long is the 1.5" tube? Thanks.

Ive been busy beating the Jeep up and not taking care of it. So time for some TLC and upgrades! First the roof rack had to come off to put it in the garage. Barely fit! The first uograde will be rear frame plates and the hydro bumps finally. then relocate my track bar and upper link mount...

Re: Re: Which Optima, red or blue? For accuracy sake I wanted to update this post. Red vs Yellow the top color does indicate the funtion. Red is for starting only and Yellow is Deep Cycle. Blue is Marine and actually light grey is "dual-purpose" meaning deep cycle. Dark grey is starting only...

I'm about to make a track bar but one end was going to be bushing. I don't want to derail this thread but ill take the heims and tube if two heims doesn't teansfer a ton of vibes through the car. Oh and can you tell me how wide the heims with spacers are? I guess I better make sure they will...

About 12 years ago Optimas were great. All my desert buddies had them...it was the only affordable dry cell. Now the cost is double and the cells die. Never buy a red top. Blue or Yellow if you are set on Optima. you want a deep cycle in case you do drain it.
