    running out of ideas with this heat

    It is summer. Running the stock gears w/33s is as though you were towing a trailer everywhere. Adding extra temp guages probably makes you more sensitive to the temps than otherwise. Aux fan works and cools things down, right? You could also wire in a switch to run the aux fan full time, if you...

    Metal On metal Sound

    You don't say what year your XJ is.... if it is 84-86, it could be the CV joint at the transfer case end of the front driveshaft. They make a popping sound when they go bad or when you install a lift... 3" or more tends to cause a problem with this style shaft. Solution for this problem would...

    Rocker replacement help

    Mine was the 3rd link you showed. It is an 88 2 door and there are 2 bolts that hold a metal bracket that the seat belt loops through on the bottom. There was no interference with either bolt.

    Thoughts on steering setup

    I'm pretty sure that the Goferit inserts are the same taper as stock tie rods (and some Dodge beefier ones), but are different than the Chevy ones (typically referred to as the one ton ones). From what I've seen, there is enough material to ream from the top of the D30 knuckles for the Chevy...

    Is it ethical to shop at walmart?

    Well, let's see how is it that Walmart can afford to have lowest prices on certain things?? They would NEVER break the law as a way of saving money! ---- An internal Wal-Mart audit found "extensive violations of child-labor laws and state regulations requiring time for breaks and meals.” (New...

    my aching back

    I'm in the same club... I just was home 2 days due to my back and am moving at 1/3 speed now... About 4 years ago I was doing Pilates, which really helped my back out. Gaining strength in the abdomen is probably the best prevention for back problems and also relearning how to stand and sit...

    Crown Vic rear disks

    Looks like a 2 piece spacer is no problem. Check here... http://mustangandfords.com/howto/28733/ It also looks like Currie could be a potential source for the spacer, but they might not make one exactly for this application. It seems to me that I've read about them putting disks on an XJ 44 by...

    Jeep is swaying down the road.

    If you are running stock style steering, the alignment can change pretty drastically when you load up the cargo area with weight. I've often found that my Jeep can drive fine on highways when empty, but load it up and get some side wind and it takes a lot of work to keep it going straight. Just...

    Add detroit Abs light on

    I think it is feasible, but you would want to use ZJ tone rings so that they line up correctly with the ZJ sensors. You should at a minimum check into the number of notches are on a ZJ tone ring, compared to an XJ.... that might indicate a problem if they are different. I don't think the...

    Need advice for maintenancing a submerged motor

    If you pull the spark plugs out, you can get most of the water out of the cylinders. Chances are that the intake manifold would be full of water too. You could suck it out with a small hand pump first, so you don't have to suck it all through the engine. You can turn the engine over manually...

    frozen spring bolt

    Once you cut the bolt out and get the spring pack out, you will still have the stub of the bolt and nut left inside. When this happened to me, I cut out the bottom of the pocket the nut sits in. I then made a trapezoidal piece to fit up behind what was left of the pocket and drilled a hole in...

    Junkyard goldmine?

    If the engine was a 4.0, the suspension will go up quite significantly when the engine is out. I can't remember for sure how much mine went up while swapping engines, but it was obviously much taller. How much it would go up depends on the spring rate. You can't just count coils... some...
