Reverse Inch-itus. While most find themselves regularly looking to go bigger and bigger with their setups, I'm finding myself looking to do the opposite. I'm sitting at 4.5" right now with a hodge podge lift. Rusty's springs and crappy shocks, TnT track bar, jks disco's, and RE drop brackets...

Making a left into my neighborhood this afternoon, I heard and felt a loud pop under the front of the XJ. I pull into the driveway and have a look, and sure enough, the track bar bolt is sheared off at the threads on the frame end. Track bar is a 4"-6" TNT system, been installed for about 2...

My 96 XJ is my DD and it's time to address the poor ride quality I'm experiencing from the rear. It's got a 4.5" lift that started as a Rusty's kit, and has been slowly modified to replace the junk that came with the kit. The only existing pieces are the springs and shocks. After correcting the...

After dealing with a hefty dent in my fuel tank that has allowed a dismal max fuel capacity of 12.5 gallons for far too long, it's time to finally fix it. My XJ is a 96, and I've got a tank from another 96 in perfect shape ready to go. What do I need to do to as far as cleaning out the inside of...

1996 XJ Sport 4.0, AW4 After coming back from a week long vacation, I found a large puddle of coolant under my xj. Found it was the heater control valve, so I picked up the part, pulled the jeep in the garage, (it started up ok) and fixed the valve. When I went to pull the jeep back into the...

So on my 96, the air works great and blows cold, but only on the highest setting. Anything lower, and there is nothing coming from the vents. I couldn't find any answers by searching, so I'm hoping somebody can help me diagnose this problem. Thanks!

I've been out of the scene for a while so excuse how lame this question is... I've got sagging 4.5" Rusty's coils on my XJ, and I need to bring the front end back up so it sits level again, and gets all my geometry back into spec. Do spring spacers actually provide the advertised amount of lift...

Well, I just found out that I will be moving to Maryland in the next couple months, around the Waldorf area I believe. Having lived in the southwest for the majority of my life (15+ years, and I'm 20) I know nothing about the area. How is the wheeling there, and where are the places to go...

I did some searching and didn't really come up with much, so here goes. I need brake lines. I'm sitting at 4.5" of lift right now, but am contemplating going to a 6.5" long arm in the near future. Who makes a good set of stainless lines for the front and the rear that will accomidate where I'm...

I'm not sure if anybody is familiar with the catalogs from LMC Truck or Jeff's Bronco Graveyard, but I'm looking for something similar for my 96 XJ. I'm just looking to replace a couple of interior pieces, and anything else that might pop up in the future. If anybody could point me in the right...

Alright, I'll try to make this the last sye thread I do I swear. I ordered my AA kit from offroadtoystore.com on Oct. 29th, and I just contacted them asking why my order hadn't been shipped yet. They informed me that they are out of AA kits until November 17th. I need the kit now, so they said...

Ok guys, I'm getting ready to order my sye in a few minutes, what should I go with? PORC, JB Conversions, or AA? I am kind of partial to the JB Conversions kit due to the very detailed info they have on their website, but I want to make sure I'm getting the right one. Please help!

Ok I'm hoping somebody can help me with this, my front driveshaft will not spin freely with the transfer case in 2wd, and the tranny (auto) in neutral. It is the same with the t-case in neutral. The part time light comes on when i shift into 4 hi and 4 lo, and goes off in 2wd and neutral. I'm...

I just got back from the junkyard where I picked up a stock front driveshaft for my sye conversion. My only question is, the donor xj had a 242 t-case, and I have a 231. The shaft appears to be the same as what I have in my Jeep, but I just want to make sure that it will work for my conversion...

I've read that a stock xj should be 17" from the center of the wheel hub to the bottom of the fender flare, however if this is true, than I am at 7 1/2" and 8 1/2" front and rear with my 4.5" rustys lift. This cant be right...can anybody offer me some insight into this?

I'm in the market for an sye kit for my xj. I was pretty much set on the PORC kit and a stock front ds, but after doing much searching and reading a lot of threads, I'm not so sure. It seems to be hit or miss with the difficulty of installation with the PORC kit. What do you guys reccomend? The...

Hey all, after owning a few broncos, I recently bought my first XJ and im loving it. 96 sport, 4.0, AW4, 231, D30, Chry. 8.25. I purchased a Rusty's 4.5" lift with rear spring packs, and I can honestly say that I'm somewhat dissapointed with the kit so far. Opinions seem to vary quite a bit on...
