hey all, haven't been on here in quite a while as my xj has just been rocking along great. It is a 1990 with 4l and AW4 auto. Heavily modded running gear but engine managemetn is pretty much stock. I am running a 2 battery system with both batteries in parallel with no isolator (for now)...

Let's assume for a minute that I am one of the few retards still using a Rusty's track bar and that I need to replace the axle side m02327 bushing. Let us further assume that I live in Canada and don't want to pay $35+ in shipping for a $10 bushing (truth be told, I would pay the $35 shipping...

Haven't posted much for quite a while here, my rig has been treating me pretty good but on the weekend I developed a problem. My rig is a 1990 cherokee, 4l AW4. I completely removed the mechanical fan and I am running 2 side by side small electric fans in a custom shroud, on manual switches. For...

I have all the parts to build a high steer, aussie locked, 5 on 5.5 waggy front d44 for my XJ and need to get this project done. I currently have a Rusty's longarm system on the rig, and I have a spare D30 diff with control arms attached for using as a template. I am looking to build something...

This morning I discovered I have a charging problem and have spent the whole day so far trying to diagnose. I have searched and didn't find anything that I haven't already addressed. hopefully someone finds something I missed. Here is all the relevant data: 1990 XJ limited, ac and abs...

So I managed to punch a hole in the lower half of my gas tank (1990 XJ) on the weekend. It is larger than a pinhole but not a gash by any means. Crossing some deactivations on the weekend my tailpipe hit the ground and that pushed the ubolt hanger into the tank and made a small hole. It was a...

basically just want to add my tale for future searchers that are replacing their fuel pump I installed a Carter brand fuel pump in my 1990 XJ and it lasted about 30 kms. The build quality actually looks not too bad but something went wrong internally as it will run for a few seconds then stop...

Strange incident the other day and hoping someone had a similar experience and resolution. This is a 1990 XJ with AW4. I recently relocated my intake to the passenger side firewall and triple checked to make sure all vac lines are hooked up. I did go out for one trail ride after that and all...

I've wanted to put a second battery in right where the airbox is, and I've also wanted to re-route the intake away from the front. I spent a couple of days working on it and took it for a test drive last night and seat of the pants tells me it is breathing really well. But that might just be...

90 XJ limited AW4 automatic. It is on the firewall at the back of the valve cover. Has electrical connector going to it and a large vac line, and a small one, and a cable going to the throttle linkage. It is in the way of me re-routing my intake and need to know what it does before relocating...

I was under the XJ the other day and noticed that I could tell that my rear output shaft on the tcase (242) would move in and outwards from the tcase over 1/4". This seems excessive and I don't recall it being like that when I put it in. This tcase has a RE hack n tap SYE that I put in. The...

Just putting this out there to come up when future newbs search for help when they develop a fuel leak on the fuel rail. I recently developed a nasty raw fuel odor which became worse when I turned on my electric fan (stock clutch fan has been removed). Of course, by the time I got the hood...

Has anyone successfully bump started an AW4 equipped XJ by locking the torque converter manually (hotwired solenoid)? I can imagine it isn't very good for it, but if you are miles from help, with a dead battery......:dunno:.... it might get you home

I have to thank Oatmeal for giving me the idea for this, and I finally got around to doing it. This is how to make explorer parking brake cables work after you put an 8.8 in your XJ. First pic is a new explorer long side cable beside a new cherokee cable. Cherokee cables are the same on both...

I have removed the coolant 'football' (changed from closed to open system) from my 90 XJ and want to put in a 2nd battery where the airbox currently is. So I'd like to flip my intake hose around and have the air filter where the old coolant reservoir used to be. However, the intake hose has an...

Ok I have searched and read pretty much all the posts on all the forums and I know that the accepted method for making a high steer waggy 44 with 5x5.5 bolt pattern is: waggy 44 + chev flat top knuckles + chev small bearing spindle (rare)+ ford hubs and rotors. But, seems the small bearing...

Let's say I want to build a waggy 44 for my XJ (I am) and I don't want true high steer, but OTK steering would be nice..... All the write ups talk of using a chevy small bearing spindle.... Couldn't I just get ford knuckles, spindles, hubs, rotors, and ream the knuckles larger from the top for...

I have a 90 XJ and a friend is buying a 99XJ with front end damage. All he needs is the trans and tcase for his YJ. Are there any other parts from a 99 XJ that would be an easy upgrade to my 90 XJ? I already have replaced the D35 with an 8.8 and I have a waggy 44 to put up front. I know engine...

My XJ is undergoing the next big phase this winter and it's going to pick up some weight. currently sitting on 6.5"long arms with Rusty's coils, 33" muds, BDS lift springs with shackle (in stock shackle pockets), 8.8 in back, custom bumper and a roof rack. This winter will add the D44 waggy...

OK, I have my 91+ tstat cover, my corvette fan temp switch (Standard part #ts915) and my taurus fan is in. The temp switch has 2 terminals. I'm guessing that the switch is grounded through the body and the 2 terminals are for a 12v wire - one end coming from +12v and the other triggering the...
