For any of you who have been frequenting the forum you've probably run across a couple of my recent posts. Long story short: I swapped in a Durango steering box. Got an alignment. PS pump went out. Just installed a brand new pump. So now we are here. I purchased new "Precision" brand...

Alright, on to the next problem. Just replace my steering box with a Durango box and got an alignment today. Everything was great, steering felt great, then on my way home I lost power steering at idle/low speeds. Luckily it was mostly a straight shot and I limped her home. I was told by some...

I was checking my front end components and found the UCA bolt on the axle side was lower than spec. I began tightening to spec and the bolt sheared right off. I was under the impression the torque specs for that bolt in that location is 55lb/ft . Am I just dumb? I have a long arm lift so do...

My power steering lines don't sit flush with the new Durango box. I can't remember if this is how it was with the stock box. The imgur link is a few pics of how the lines are sitting. They're tight at their current position in the pics. Okay or no? https://imgur.com/gallery/J8no54X

So my steering box is shot and I've ordered a Durango box to upgrade to. I went with O'Reily's in-house brand "Pro Master" on the Durango box. Are there ways to inspect it prior to installing it so I know I'm not going to be ripping it out again in a week when it fails?

As the title asks, what can cause the steering to feel feather light? I just bought an '01 lifted 4.5" on 33s. I just replaced both tie rod ends and the drag link end at the pitman arm. Ball joints are good. Everything else seems right and tight. It came with an RC N2.0 dual steering stabilizer...

Just bought this old girl. '01 with 132k miles. She has a 4.5" RC long arm lift. Also has RC away bar quick disconnects and an RC dual steering stabilizer. Now, I know she needs at least one new tie rod end and the end of the track bar at the pitman arm needs to be replaced as well. But here's...

Hello all! I made a post awhile back about an XJ I was going to puchase and it didn't work out and I disappeared from the forum. But now I'm back! I brought a friend along, too. Check her out! https://imgur.com/gallery/0x4oMAf She's an '01 with only 132k miles. 4.5" RC long arm lift, SYE...

I hope this is the correct section to post in. I'm hoping to buy a '99 XJ near me as long as someone could help me out. It has an Aussie in the D30 up front and a Spartan in the C8.25 rear. What I'm proposing is someone with knowledge in removing/adding lunchbox lockers who would remove the...

To remove lunchbox auto lockers, do you just need a set of stock spider gears for the specific axle? Specifically, an aussie in a Dana 30 and a Spartan in a Chrysler 8.25. Is there anything else that would be needed?

Hello all! So I stumbled across a beautiful '98 recently. Pristine exterior and interior, silver on black. New 2" lift, 31" tires, steel front and rear bumpers, roof rack, TruckLite headlights. The coolest part is the guy used 505 Performance to create a supercharged 4.4 stroker. The engine...

'98 XJ that was owned a bit in Oklahoma. Rockers are starting to show some rust. The rest of the underbody is looking okay. What do you guys think? Should I expect the floor panels to be rusting out, etc? https://imgur.com/a/lyrZYN5

I'm looking for a semi-modest lift with good daily driveability. I like the looks and reviews of the RE 3.5" Super Flex kit with monotube shocks and full leafs. Specifically, this kit...

Hi all. I used to own a '96 and should have never gotten rid of it. I've been trying to find another XJ and came across a completely stock '99 with 184k miles. Here are the details: Pros: -Two owners with service records for over 10 years -No rust (was kept in climate controlled garage much of...

Okay guys and gals I swear this is the last one of these posts I'll make. I trust your judgement so I keep coming back! Found a clean '98, 4.0, 4x4, and a 5-speed! It has 215k miles, clean title. -6.5" RC long arm lift on 35s -SYE and custom driveshaft -one ton steering -4.88 yukon gears...

What's the general consensus around buying a 2001 XJ? Heads not replaced but not cracked, either. 142k miles. It's sitting on a 6" long arm lift on 33s. Seller bought it built this way and doesn't know lift brand and assumes it has been regeared. Recent maintenance includes: Aluminum radiator...

I'm selling my new Trailhawk to get back into an XJ. I used to own a '96 that I put a lot of work into and I regret selling it. I found another that is super clean. Let me know if I'd be crazy to pass it up. 1998 XJ Limited -121k miles -6"RC lift -SYE w/ aftermarket driveline -Fox steering...
