    Ride height

    Most all of the OME lift stuff is on now and she looks a bit jacked up in the rear.... I get center of axle to lip of flare measurement of ~20.75 front and just a smidgen over 20.5 in the rear with maybe a little under 100lbs of junk in the back. From what I find this sounds just right and that...

    V6 A/C brackets???

    Would anyone be able to send a pic of their A/C setup on their V6 XJ? I pulled a compressor and the brackets from an 85 or so S10 blazer thinking they'd be the same to put in mine since the PO for some reason removed it. I didn't have time to mount it all up myself when I got it and now when we...

    Finally slapped on my bumpers. Other than having to torch a little off the back end of the reciever tube and sawzalling the fenders the AJ's front went right on. The BPI rear was cake other than having to use the come along to wretch the old DS nutstrip out since the hitch had been removed with...

    overall xj length?

    I am surfing / shopping for a new gooseneck trailer and need to figure out what length I need to get to fit the XJ and CJ both on at the same time. The XJ is up at one of my garages right now with the bumpers off so I can't go measure it right now..... I need to know total length bumper to...

    links to good write up on lift install?

    Later this week I am going to start doing the lift install and was wonderin if anyone had some links to some decent write ups? Since My lift is sort of a mix match of parts I really didn't get any instructions, most of it I think is pretty straight forward but I know the XJ has it's own little...

    Fender & flare ???'s

    After I got the hood install done today I decided to go ahead and tackle replacing the fender. I had no idea it would be such a PIA. All but 2 of the flare studs broke off and the last 3 torx screws behind the nose panel look to be next to impossible to remove without removing the nose panel...

    Hood latch conversion???

    Is it possible to switch the 84-86 style hood latch out for an 87 up style set up? Or is the radiator support completely different and it won't accept it? I'm thinking I can use threaded inserts and bolts to mount the striker on my new hood but thought I'd explore the other possibilities. Mike B.

    6.0 P/S experiences?

    Just ordered a new 04 F350 XLT last week and bit the bullet and chose the 6.0 PS instead of the V10 like I originally planned. I was assured that the upgrades that were made a few months ago fixed all the issues that the 1st ones off the line had, and the warranty is pretty damn good. Anyways...

    Won't upload my Avatar

    Title pretty much says it all, and yes I do have it sized correctly & all that. It took one for my profile just fine but I've never been able to get it to take my avatar. Mike B.

    2.8 - 3.4 swap - note

    Just a note for the archives, when doing the 2.8 - 3.4 swap make sure the 2.8 flywheel or flex plate is machined and 0 balanced. The 3.4 is internally balanced so the 2.8 flywheel which is externally balanced will cause the 3.4 to run a bit lumpy from idle to about 2,000 rpm. The PO of mine had...

    Source for FSM for an 86????

    Was hoping to get a FSM from the dealer but that was a no go. Techauthority only lists back to 94 on the website.... didn't call the 800 # yet though but I'm guessing nothing will be available pre Chrysler from them. Mike B.

    AX5 - doing something weird

    Occasionally when comming to a stop I'll push the clutch in and I'll have a metal to metal sound, sorta like the sound a completely shot set of brakes make when they are down metal to metal. Could it be something in the AX5 like something sticking? Maybe too heavy of a gear oil was used in it by...
