I found the intake (and about 10 others) at one wrecking yard only bout 1 hour from my home using the website posted by Slaughlin. Thanx Mikeyl for the injector info and to Corbinafly for...

    New intake install

    I called a wrecking-yard and drove 2 hours to get the new intake as they said there was a 99 XJ in their yard. When I arrived, I was informed by another guy that the 99 XJ reported to me on the phone had been sold over 4 months prior. I have called 20+ yards within 250 miles of my home and...

    New intake install

    Does any one know what year(s) power steering pump will properly fit my 1991 in order to complete this converstion? Would it be any pump from 1999-2002 as these are the years of the new style intake? Does it matter if it comes from a TJ, XJ, or ZJ? In reply to mikeyl: I have a 91 XJ also and...

    Heart Transplant for 91' XJ

    Can anyone answer my header question? I called Borla and they couldn't help. I took the xj in to the shop yesterday to start the engine swap but still have not ordered the headers cuz I don't know which ones to order? The engine I bought to swap into the 91 body is a 96' but I am unsure if it...

    3 inches off, the axle or the technician?>>you tell me

    I picked it up from the shop and it drives like it should now. I am happy! Now all I need to do is get the correct pinion angle on the back axle cuz it is vibrating a little on acceleration even though I have installed the CV spicer driveshaft, SYE, RE HD housing that mounts to back of the...

    3 inches off, the axle or the technician?>>you tell me

    Thank you very much RCP Phx & What Rd for looking at the site I posted the pics on and for your input. I just got back from visiting a NAXJA friend, REDXJ97, and checked out his rig to see what it looked like under there. His setup looked pretty similar to mine before I took it to the...

    3 inches off, the axle or the technician?>>you tell me

    Give me an 1/2hour to an hour and I will label and post both before and after pics of the front suspension. I just got back from the drive to the parent company of "Friermood Tire" located in Wabash IN, 30 miles away from me. It took me over an hour to get there on back county roads not...

    3 inches off, the axle or the technician?>>you tell me

    The first post of this thread has the rig specs and when it says SYE it means I have installed a slip yoke eliminator. So according to the above explaination can you guess what "CV spicer driveshaft" means? I know putting on the brackets is easy, that is not the point......I just don't have time...

    3 inches off, the axle or the technician?>>you tell me

    I am aware that the average joe at the alignment shop works on minivans all day. When I took the XJ in I had no idea how incompetent they really were. I think a monkey could have done a better job. I am aware that the specs changed because I modified it with the lift, but for some reason I...

    3 inches off, the axle or the technician?>>you tell me

    WOW!! I picked it up today and to this moment I am absolutely amazed that they would let a customer take a vehicle on the road in the condition in which they left my XJ "aligned"! The following is the list of problems I have noticed as of now: 1) Where the trackbar mounts to the axle bracket...
