I know I know. I've searched. Haven't found anything. I was just curious if anyone has used the caliper brackets off of a newer CV? 96 and up? I wound up with a set of 96 cv brackets and didn't think anything of it. I got it all fitted on the d44 axle with the only modification being...

A friend of mine works for a machine shop and can make me a HD tie rod quite easily. but the only thing i'm unsure of is the thread size at the ends of the rods? i'm assuming one side will be a left hand thread and the other will be a right hand thread. then you can adjust the toe just like...

i posted a few weeks ago about this binding/grinding noise i got when only turning left and i must be moving. well long story short. i put in a entire new front axle assembly out of my donor truck. mainly cuz it had 3.55s *was upgrading from 3.07* so i figured i change that and problem...

Ok, its become noticable that lately its harder and harder to start my xj. its turning over. but just doesn't seem like the starter is spinning as fast as it used to. i'm getting very slow revolutions when i engage the starter. I have 1yr old redtop battery in there. but i suspect its not...

any help diagnosing this is appreciated. its only when i turn left slow in a parking lot. thats when its most noticable. now at first i suspected my front axle ujoints. which indeed needing replacing. so i did it thinking well they need doing anyways, and its a good chance thats the...

fuses are good. bulbs are good. but no power at the bulbs. its 88 xj 4.0 was a 5spd peugeot but just swapped to aw4. any ideas?

Ok well long story short i swapped in a aw4 out of a 88 donor into my 88 peugoet 5spd equip'd xj. all went well. it runs and i can drive it. shifts fine. but theres something wrong with the 4x4 linkage. and i'm thinking that it has something todo with that bracket on the side of the aw4...

ok i'm approaching the finish line with my aw4 swap. but i'd like to run a aux cooler thats independent of the rad. the 88 xj of mine's closed system is tax'd as it is. what i'm wondering though is what rating cooler should i get. I'm looking at a b&m unit rated at 13000btu and dimensions of...

hey guy's, anyways after my puegoet going out on me. i decided i had to pull it and do something. I got a complete donor vehicle with the aw4 in it. so i figure now is a good time to do a auto swap conversion. i got the peugoet pulled out of my rig (88 xj 4.0) and am just slowly swapping...

Hey guy's, can someone describe the proper procedure for bleeding a clutch master cyl in a jeep? its a 88 cherokee but i'm pretty sure the bleeding procedure is probably the same across the board. i got the new master all installed... now what? i tried bleeding it with a vacuum pump. this is...

ok, over the past week this problem has come and gone. now its here to stay it seems. but i've notice the clutch pedal has slowly been decreasing pressure. I mean i'm at the point now where i almost have to shut the jeep off to get it into 1st. master cyl fluid is full and maintaining fluid...

well i finally did it. a local guy here sold me his 97 tj seats on the cheap. i always liked the tj seat better then my 88 xj seat. but i know it wasnt a direct bolt in. and did some searching online and didn't find anything about doing the swap. so in true jeeper fashion. i made them fit...

ok i got a 4" lift. and was still utilizing the factory trackbar. i today i decided to redrill the bracket to set the front axle back centered under the jeep. well what i did was centered the wheel. locked it in place. undid the trackbar at the axle and shook the vehicle side to side on the...

Ok, i can't figure out what the difference is between the swap kit for the 87-95YJ and the 87-01XJ. only difference i see is the price. I'm doing this swap in my 88 xj. can i just order the YJ kit seeing its about 40 bucks cheaper?

Hey guy's, i got a chance to pickup a pair of RE fixed length superflex lca's. came with a 4.5 lift kit. since my buddy's put a long arm kit on and has these kicking around. i can get them for next to nothing from him. I'd be putting them on my xy with 4" lift. Think i should go for it...
