Do yourself and everyone else a favor and don't go to HIDs unless you're willing to shell out the coin for projectors and then retrofit them into H4 housings. Not terribly hard, just takes some time and creativity. Cops don't exactly like being blinded driving past people, and most of the ones...

If I were you I'd stick with the stock 3.07s. I've got an AX15 with 3.55 geared D30/8.25 swapped in, 31x10.50s and the gears are still a little shorter than I'd like. If you're getting 20 something mpg, don't mess with anything because you're getting about the best gas milage of anyone in an...

For anything larger than 1/2" I haven't seen drill bit sets that include them. For the smaller bits I swear by Milwaukee. I've used Skill and Dewalt and numerous other brands and none work as well. The Milwaukee bits seem to stay sharp a lot longer and cut through steel better. As someone else...

There's actually a chance that it might. I can't confirm that it will, but from everything I've read the AMC-15 and Dana 35 are very similar axles. If you have a JY that is local to you and does a 30 day warranty, I'd suggest finding a Dana 35 under a Jeep there, pulling the shaft and seeing if...

Its probably in the 600ppm range, about on-par with most other oils that have been approved for on-road usage. From what I've read with hydralic lifters, and a flat tappet cam, 900ppm of ZDDP is about where you want to be minimum.

The only other option is a shackle flip, where instead of hanging below the mounting point, the shackle sits above it. It could be done on an XJ but it'd be a royal PITA.

Agreed. Every oil still has ZDDP, just not as much as they should have. At $3 a bottle for the STP treatment, its almost stupid NOT to use it. Anytime I change oil in anything from now on, its going to get that stuff.

x2 I'm not a racer, however after spending way too many hours on the internet doing research on the newer oil specifications I've come to this conclusion: Every oil made in the last 2 years has a required reduction in the Zinc dithiophosphate additives(commonly referred to as ZDDP) in them...

don't replace the u-joint straps and instead do this: http://www.cherokeeforum.com/f51/rear-yoke-u-bolt-conversion-28141/ its WAY more reliable, less likely to fail and if you do manage to break on on a trail or somewhere spares are easy to replace and keep on hand.

I would NEVER run an engine 10,000 miles on cheap oil, heck I refuse to run my 4.0 for more than 8,500 on Castrol Edge(will soon be changing brands of oil) I found this: http://www.redlineoil.com/content/files/tech/Motor%20Oils%20MSDS.pdf Very very interesting, read the part of the MSDS that...

You building a house in chesapeake Va? I'm not a newb to XJs or forums, just to Naxja. I'll take pics of my garage tomorrow or something. I guarantee you that its a bigger mess than any of these. 2 bay, 20x30 maybe? Inside is this: A 98 S70GLT, Nissan S12, random suzuki motorcycle, 13b, a...

I want it, but can't afford it >.<

I don't normally post up on NAXJA, I tend to be more of a Cherokee Forum guy, so Hi to everyone in this thread. Couple questions; I looked all over hell and creation on the internet and I cannot find the right angle disconnects, although something in me suspects they're just normal disconnects...

This just further convinces me that our country is being run by a bunch of idiots. Gosh my government and environmentalists frustrate me :soapbox:
