I checked out the go-jeep post regarding caster and toe-in and I'm looking for some help. I started by leveling the jeep via magnetic protractor on the transmission brace. Didn't know if that was the correct way but it was the only option I had. Checked caster at the bolt heads on diff and...

So my wife is having contractions five minutes apart and I go to get the Jeep packed and warm to get to the hospital. Dead battery. I have a 00' xj that is stock except suspension and radio. Radio has never been a source of trouble and it's been modified for a year minimum. I have a Optima...

Just got done draining and filling the aw4 without filter change. :) it only took 3 quarts to fill to exactly max level, hot in nuetral. sound about right? i know it is supposed to take 4 quarts. rear diff only took 4 pints and the owners manual says 5. i'm gonna drive it for a while and...

I was finally gonna order my new front bumper from Bulletproof mfg and talked to Mike at Bulletproof who informed me,"the old bulletproof mfg has gone belly up." He has new pricing going up cuz of the "rising price of steel". Apparently they have the same jigs and drawings and the bumpers are...

I searched most pages and couldn't find info on fabbing up a mount for the upper track bar mount. Seems simple enough but I would like to see if anyone has any experience with making the mount. I want to order a new bar from bulletproof steering and I'm not real sure about how to measure the...

I searched all over for a link for a steering system that i saw someone post here. It is for the high crossover. I have 3" ome lift and dw. I wish I had time to make my own but would rather just purchase the system i saw here. Seems like it installed in the top of the knuckles and you could...

Kinda the same post as that click clack noise thing. My 00xj has the Tom Woods Shaft and SYE with 3" OME lift. I had vibes til I got it aligned. Smooth sailing til yesterday. When I let off the gas it vibrates all the way to 0mph. It feels like its gonna come apart at 25 mph. I checked...

I've had the ome 4" lift on my 00' xj and it rides really well. Problem is when I hit a pothole on the front right it seems the shock isn't controlling the spring. Just keeps goin up and down uncontrollably. Only thing I know thats wrong is that I didn't put the plastic boot for the trackbar...

installed the sye finally. i got the oil pump in correctly and everything bolted up nice and smooth. for some reason the t/c is leaking fluid out of the tailhousing pinion seal. im pretty upset about this. t/c is not leaking at the case halves or anywhere else. any suggestions. i torqued...

putting in the aasye in my 00 xj and everything is going good except when i put the case halves back together i cant turn the shafts. there is no movement at all. i put the shift fork back on to see if i could get it to move but no go. is the mode fork binding. any help would be great. i dont...

Anyone have suggestions how to remove rear driveshaft? I removed the spring retaining clips, snapped off the plastic pieces on the inside of the bearing caps, and beat one bearing cap to remove the opposite side. To no avail. Do I need a torch? This is the first time Ive seen these with no u...

I edited my email and now cant post to replys. Thanks, btw, I will be sending in members dues today.

Finsihed with the ome 3". Oh what fun it was. Last thing to do was bleed the brakes. Got all the way around to drivers front and stripped the bleed screw! Pounded a 5/16 socket on it and it finally broke free. Hopped in the jeep, I now have brakes, but my steering wheel is 1/8th turn to the...

still trying to get this lift on! im set on everything all i have is to get the lca bolt in but the axle on the drivers side has moved to the rear by about 3". i have nothing to strap the axle to to bring it forward. any suggestions?

sorry for so many newbie questions but im trying to replace the springs in the front. the rubber bumpstops have been removed and i cant see how the new hard plastic bumpstops from rubicon express are installed. seems like they are the same length as the originals. plus the bolt that was...

how long should i leave the u bolts on my ome 3" lift? im guessing around 2 inches above the nut? just so the u bolts dont bottom out before the bump stop?

Installing the old man emu 3" and snapped off all four upper shock bolts in unibody! I hit them with wd first, then tightened them to break the seal, then tried to take them off and all four ended up snapping off. Anyone else have this experience? Obviously I need to drill them out. I just...

wondering how strong the 231 will be with aa231 hd? i know its supposed to help with the vibes, but wondering how much stronger the case itself will be? what transfer case will swap with a 231? im guessing the price i could get for my factory 231 plus the 600 for the aa231 hd, i'd be able to...

I'm in Cincinnati and have settled on the ome lift. Why would i get the 3" springs in the back over the 2.5s. Sag i suppose? Do i need brake lines? What else will i need. I'm gonna do the SYE after the lift to make sure i cant adjust the vibes out with shims, assuming i have vibes. Just...

My jeep is running lean and Im not sure how to adjust the mixture? I though there would be some way to adjust the air flow meter to richen it up. Any suggestions.
