Snagged a rear seat from 01 WJ limited last week, in better shape than the ZJ ones intended to swap in… All the writeups i’ve found are conflicting. Mounting to floor is not my preferred choice as it reduces leg room significantly on driver side and brings the knees up higher. Mounting to...

Snagged one for $7 at the junkyard with 4ft of harness. From what i can find, only 3 wires are used. One goes to 12v switched (ignition or otherwise), one to ground, and one to 12v reverse lamp My question is, whats the best 12v switched to tap into up top that wont overload the circuit? First...

I know i know…go measure them. That requires disassembly I need to order new shoes/hardware/cylinders for yearly inspection, does anyone know what came factory on the chryco 8.25? Everything i see says 10” except police package. Parts guy says its 9” shoes are all it shows. Rather rockauto it all…

Car jackings and thefts are all over the news here recently…driving an XJ should be enough of a deterrent, crazier things have happened though. Planning to build up a small, simple hidden switch circuit to cut igniton to the starter. Most likely a relay to an on/off/momentary setup for future...

Recently replaced my stock ones with cheap aftermarkets, still have old parts and considering bushing replacement with poly for spares. Mainly for the longevity and ease of future replacement IF they ever wear out. Can anyone weigh in on this? Good or bad? Im sure its been done, how about...

Just looking to verify, is the rear shock lower mounting stud nut m12x1.25? Grade 10.9? Looking to replace mine after chasing the threads on the stud with a tap and die Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

I’ve seen this done on other vehicles, just kinda wondering if anyone has done it in the XJ and how hard it would be? Usually ties into the sunroof/convertible top circuit on newer cars. My thoughts are to jumper the window lock button to a relay that goes to all 4 windows and ties into the...

Whipped up a couple of these, have some spares to get rid of. 2 red in 3x3 size 1 black in 3x3 size 6 white in 4.5x6 size (perfect for rear quarter windows!) White ones are 12.50/ea plus shipping. Red and black are 7.50/ea plus shipping. PM if interested. Local pickup in SEPA is an option as...

While working on the rear shocks and front springs, my buddy pointed out that my resonator is rusting through...No big deal, it useless anyhow🤣 my solution? Slap a $25 cherry bomb glass pack straight thru muffler in place of it. Problem is, i cant seem to find info on what size inlet/outlet i...

Reading conflicting posts about this. Can anyone confirm if i need to replace the leaf spring centering pins with longer ones on a 2” lift? I read a thread on jeepforums saying 2” lift in the rear didnt require longer pins, but 1.5” lift does...doesnt make any sense to me, i would expect the...

Im considering swapping my front seats; mainly the passenger side. I’ve read the ZJ/WJ seats are supposed to fit, but i’d like to find another option. Coming from the Volvo xc70 platform cars, i’d like to try swapping a pair of them in. With these seats, i get the option to fold flat (main...

Trying to understand how one affects the other. I get that overtravel is a bad thing and will tear seals, too short and it bottoms out and blows the shock rebound. What i cant wrap my head around is the free arch going into the equation. And adding bar pin eliminators into the equation, that...

Migrating this over, this is my 99 XJ sport build. Primarily being built for daily driven duties, beefing up to tow a travel trailer. Purchased this XJ for $900 in July with 187xxx miles. Rust free 3 owner well maintained. Came to me with a blown heater core, blown speakers/door wires...

Looking to install an air lift rear kit from Michigan truck springs. Has anyone done an airbag or air load leveling setup on their XJ? Still mostly stock with new oem replacement parts (upgraded to HD/better parts material where possible) Im trying to also calculate the total load capacity of...

Something bugs me about having a vac line running from the intake box to the valve cover. So, research and more research, lots of spending money plus trial an error yields off the shelf aftermarket results. Plus, this will allow me to install a cold air intake pipe without needing to run extra...

I need new tires with an E load rating, my current 15s just wont cut it. Found a set oem set of 4 16” wrangler alloys semi local for a good price Will they fit, first. Second, can i squeeze 245/75-16 in the wheel well without trimming or lifting? Suspension is all brand new, HD springs front...

99 4.0 aw4 sport. Upgraded to LED brake light bulbs. Worked fine as a red marker light, except when i stepped on the pedal it wouldnt light up like a brake lamp should. Pulled LED bulbs, installed standard halogens, they lit up in the parking lot but still no brake lights when i push the...

Getting ready to overhaul my front brakes with powerstop z36 kit. They have 2 options listed, one for 3” tall full cast rotor and one for 3.25” tall composite rotor. How can i tell which one i need? Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

Replaced the core, buttoned everything back up, added coolant and bled the system, still no heat. Its moving the blend door, i can cycle through the vent positions and the air changed each time. Any suggestions? Really dont want to pull the dash again if i can avoid it Sent from my iPhone...

Looking for suggestions on a set of stock height front springs. Heavy duty preferred, this will be a tow rig. Poly spring seats included a plus Currently leaning towards the crown HD springs, but not sure what they will do when paired with the Husky leaf springs from rockauto. They sit about...
