Thanks everyone for the pics and info

Re: Try This Link Your pics didn't show up, but thank you all for showing me your XJ's... I'll start saving for the SYE after I get done saving for an engagement ring :D

Whoever said you won't notice a difference in putting on the intake tube and K&N ... is well, flat out Wrong you will notice substantial (IMHO) throttle response increase... for about $60 total Rusty's Offroad . You could get a BB for $100 or you could make your own. Then there are the things...

I've been really happy with my Bridgestone Dueler AT's ... and my brother has Dueler MT's on his Ram Sport and I really, really like them, and wish that I had them instead, both a good on and off road, the AT's very quiet, while the MT's not as quiet but not nearly as loud as most other MT's...

-I am thinking of lifting to 4.5" but I don't want to go bigger than 32's, due to gearing problems, etc. -Does any one have pictures of 31's or 32's with 4.5" of lift? -Also, on the 99xj should I save up for a SYE before going up another 3" to 4.5" (or 4.75"0)? Right now, I do not have Any...

I know that blocks are bad, and I am planning on going to 4.5" when I get a job that actually pays something (just graduated from College this month)... and replacing the leaf packs... 3" lift in the rear, 1.5" shackle = 4.5" . I know that the lift shackle and the stock leaf springs are a weak...

I didn't keep the isolator on mine, I went with the shackle BB and it started out level, but then sagged in the rear due to the extra stress on the leaf springs.

By your saying the front is seems low, I'm assuming that you used the Add - a - Leaf. If so then I've been told to give it a couple months to settle and the rear will come down some. So I would wait to do anything to the front.

Got ya. :D

:rolleyes: "Negative Ghost Rider that pattern is full"... hold on ... my 99 HO measures 62mm above the throttle plate and it tapers down (UNDER the plate) to about 50mm, I did a straight bore, removing the taper, and mine is 62mm all the way throughand I DID NOT replace the throttle plate. If...

It's ok man, we all make mistakes, as long as you aren't paying for things like brake jobs, or tune ups you're ok. :eek: I saw in Off-Road Magazine tonight that Rubicon Express charges $300.00 for theirs..... WOW .... what a rip off .... :(

Yes that is exactly what the mod companies do... I've talked to others who paid for it. Use the link that is listed on this thread, Go-Jeep knows his stuff, and has a great how to section. http://www.go.jeep-xj.info/ :D

I echo the others... do it yourself. However, it is a True bored throttle body, and I know on the newer XJ's that removing the taper inside is as much as you can do without buying a different TB. I actually used a Dremel to do mine and I was very happy with the results, I used course sanding...

Here are good directions for when it does come in.... http://www.go.jeep-xj.info/HowtoAddaLeaf.htm & http://www.go.jeep-xj.info/HowtoFrontSpacer.htm Also, on the how to front spacers... I didn't find it necessary to unbolt the control arms... but I did get some spring compressors from...

I'm running stock on mine.
