    Tasteful 97+ Fender Trimming and DW Questions

    Currently have a 4.5" lift on 31s. I'd really like to go to 33s but I'm already getting some front rubbing at full lock off-road. I've always wanted to keep my fenders intact but after walking around Topless Jeep Day in Monson (about 1,000 Jeeps and at least 200-300 XJs!) I've come to realize...

    JRC Rock Sliders

    JCR Rock Sliders: So I bought these lightly used a few years ago but by the time I got to them the XJ was too rusty and I had to build new rockers with tube steel. I finally got around to refinishing these to match each other. Both were sanded, cleaned, primed, and covered in rubberized bed...

    '99 D30 Groan, not Hub or Driveshaft

    So I started getting groan from the from of my '99 wih 4.5" lift. Figured it was my driveshaft u joints again. Pulled it and it did get a little quieter, but still there... so obviously the hubs right? I've been here before. So today I installed new hubs. Passenger side seemed a little noisy...

    Bought a drive shaft without measuring...this won't work will it?

    So I have a '99 XJ with AW4 and 231, 5" lift with AA SYE. I've been running a junk yard front driveshaft in the rear (and front obviously) but I keep killing the cardan joints. Latest one to go out was the front after I added some caster to help the death wobble. I'm sick of finding and...

    Lifted an inch, added a mile of problems.

    So I recently went from ZJ coils and spacers to 4.5" RE coils up front. She was completely happy before but of course I can't leave well enough alone. I ended up running all new hard brake lines because the stock lines were rusted and one broke when I was installing the extended SS brake...

    WTB: XJ 4.5" Front Lift Coils

    I'm currently running ZJ V8 springs with a 2" spacer. I want to go bigger, around 4.5". So I'm looking for soft riding (not rough country or similar) springs good for about 4.5" lift. I guess I would consider a 2"-2.5" spring that I can use with my spacer but I'd rather just do it right...

    I would appreciate you patience as I talk this out because I'm having trouble deciding what to do. haha So my XJ recently became my weekend offroad toy (my wife wishes it became my sold XJ!). I now have little reserves to the effects of lifting and wheeling it hard now that I only need to...

    Ball Joint Replacment - Which Press Tool?

    I knew my passenger ball joints were starting to get old and almost failed inspection today...so it is time. First of all, what's the best price on Spicer or Moog ball joints out there? The initial search produced pieces about $70 EACH. I found "OMIX" brand kits at Team Cherokee (a trusted...

    Look for 4" Lift Coils - Suggestions?

    So I just got my SYE in and I want to install a 2" BB on top of my 2-2.5 inch OME rear leaf springs. Right now I have a 2" spacer on top of ZJ coils. I figure with another 1.5" of lift out back from new shackles I'll have about 4" of lift. So I'd like to find a 4" lift coil with lowish spring...

    Quick Q - Approximately how much lift is a front DS good for? (SYE)

    I just installed an AA SYE kit into my '99 and used a front DS out of an AW4 XJ. The DS is approximately 30" long fully extended and I'd say it is to about 29" right now. Is one inch enough play? What height lift is a stock front DS usually good for?

    Help me cobble together a little more lift...

    So I helped my buddy removed a SYE kit from his (my old) XJ. I agreed to give him $200 for the kit and drive shaft, so we started putting the kit into my '99. It is going to be SO nice not having the TC drop kit anymore. So in any case I'd like to add to my 3" lift a little. Right now I have...

    Anyone seen any water recently?

    I heard something about rain on the news but I don't know. I think I saw some drops on the river I drove through to get to work but I can't be sure... How is everyone fairing? Any crazy pictures or video? I'm guessing the RI and southern MA guys won't be able to respond for a few days. I'll...

    Will an '88 XJ block fit a '99 XJ?

    I posted this before in another thread but it got buried. I got the itch to finally buy my buddies 4.7 stroker. The only thing is that he built it from my old '88. Do you know if my '99 head and accessories will fit on an '88 block? This stroker has a worked over HO head but I'm pretty sure I...

    '88 XJ Pioneer Shell - Practically Free

    So I sold my first Jeep to my buddy who lifted it and stroked the engine. He bought a new truck and since the XJ is having a bunch of problems he is taking out the engine, trans, rear axle, and lift stuff. That leaves the gutted but rhyno-lined interior with front seats, front D30, and the...
