I'm sick of going through alternators. So I decided I should relocate it so it isn't always getting dunked in the muddy/sandy water that I like to go through. Not only that, but having it down there also leaves it vulnerable to simply being splashed with mud that isn't all that deep. I'm sure a...

Ok, this is a weird one to me. After I do a lot of driving and the Jeep has heated up real good, when I shift from drive to park, there is an odd clang noise and my radio cuts out and restarts. This is when I first noticed it, but it also happens whenever switching between any of the Park...

Not sure how this works, but when I did it, I surely received the best tank of fuel ever since acquiring my XJ. My speedometer is off from tires and gears (33/4.56), but I still keep track of how far it gets me per fill. Usually, I end up somewhere between 160 to 180. I then decided to see what...

I think I've decided on the 5150s for my XJ. Just really up in the air on the size I should go with. That and if I should even drop the coin to replace what I have, or just wait a bit and spend the money on more important things. I have Rusty's 4.5" springs and my old skyjacker shocks have seen...

While replacing the pinion seal on my rear D44, (out of an 87, has 4.56 gears and an autoloc) I notice a lot of free play. I could turn the driveshaft probably a good eight of a turn, maybe a little more, before it would stop. This is without the tires moving at all. This problem must have...

When I got rid of my 87 XJ and got my 96, I think I remember someone saying that the steering isn't as powerful. I ended up keeping the power steering from the 87, and now I'm thinking about putting it in the 96. Is it really better? I mainly kept it for the dropped pitman arm, but if the whole...

Why can't I post a reply to some threads? The last one was about the rock climbing video game. It's in the jeep showcase section, so why would I not have permission? It's not like my account is new or has been unused, cause I'm posting right here right now. What gives?!?!

Anyone know if the skyjacker trac bar uses the stock size bushing, and if not, what size it does use? I will be taking the bar itself to a custom shop tomorrow to see if they can help me out, but it would be nice to see if anyone on here already knows the size. That way, I could possibly order...

Just finished the disc swap on my Dana 44, and after bleeding the brakes it still seems to have air in the lines. The pedal goes to the floor and the ABS light turns on. I used a vacuum bleeder. The rear brakes didn't get nearly as much fluid flow as compared to the front while bleeding, but...

Had the calipers for a few years now, but just finally got a good reason to swap. The passenger rear wheel cylinder sprung a leak. Off to the junkyard on my vacation. This is what I got... Front (some grinding already performed in these pictures) Back The main part of the swap, which can...

My problem is that my driver rear window will roll down, but it will not go back up. Right now it is stuck almost halfway down and I have no idea how to get it back up. I tried new switches, but they did not solve the problem. When I first got the Jeep it was intermittent. I could get it back...

I tried looking, but can not find anything on what year I should get the brake parts off of for a D44 disc conversion. I found some calipers for up to 93 and the some for 95 and newer. Although, the write-up I found used 94 calipers and it didn't list 94 as being a compatible year with the...

I'm swapping a 1996 D30 for a 1987 D30 and it appears that the 96 has SAE and the 87 has metric. Is there a way to make this work (an adapter)? If not, can I just take the calipers off the 96 axle and put them on the 87 axle using the pads and everything from the 87 but just the calipers from...

First off, I'll just let you know what I have... 1996 XJ Sport 4.0/Aw4/231 This is what it looked like when I brought it home. It now has the bumpers off my old Jeep. This was my 1987 XJ. I purchased it built and it was a good rig until it started falling apart. I don't mind though...

What do I need to do, to swap my ring and pinion gears from my 87 D30 to my 96 D30? Can I move the whole carrier? Will I need to get any new parts or are all the old parts going to be transferable? Also, I have a D44 that I'm swapping over. The fluid was run low and last I checked the fluid...

I have an SYE in my 87 with selec-trac. What I want to do is transfer everything from my 87 to my 96 with command-trac. I have a feeling I wont be able to swap the SYE over though. Does anyone know this for sure?

I currently own an 87 XJ but will be tearing it down and using whatever I can on the 96 I'm hoping to get. Here are the things I have questions about... The rear driveshaft has changed from 87 to 96. So does this mean I'm SOL with the SYE setup I have on the 87? Also, I would like to use the...

I just got back from test driving it. The body and interior are in excellent condition. Very minimal rust and the rust it does have is only surface rust on parts that don't affect the integrity of the vehicle itself. I forgot to check what axles it has. I'm hoping it has a non-disco front...

For a while I've been having problems off and on with my Jeep just losing all it's charge. Although now not only does that happen all the time, my alternator is overcharging. Could the drain be caused by the alternator? I'm really hoping so because I've been trying to figure it out for a long...

Does anyone know of a good place to get this sensor for cheap? In town it is 84 dollars at the cheapest, so I'm hoping someone knows of a place online that is cheaper. Tried ebay but didn't find anything yet.
