Have a friend heading from Kansas City (no, we don't kick tumble-weeds down the street and only the drug dealers and police carry guns) to Alaska. We have heard all kinds of rumors about the road conditions through BC and AK. What are the main highways like? Paved, smooth and ready to roll, or...

Need to replace the motor in my 87, have an 87 take-out with 75k miles in the garage. Both 4.0 auto motors. Wanted to replace the valve cover, rear main (and oil pan) gaskets before the swap. Checked at O'Reilly for the late rear main (used 96 for year). Seal $29, valve cover $27, oil pan $18...

I see these stupid wheels that keep moving even when they are stopped, believe they are called "spinners"- to each his own on their aesthetic value :puke: ! Question is, what happens in the snow/slush when these things get covered and freeze? Looks like a quick way to create an ICE DISC OF...

Interested in a shell for my MJ, long-bed. Called a few places that sell these things around here (Kansas City), and over half had to ask me what a Comanche was! Needless to say, my local search revealed nothing...... Is there a company still *or ever* making these for the MJ? Or, is there a...

Anyone know which is wider and which is "bigger"? Looking to make some major cuts, but I want to keep the tires covered. Bigger is always better, more tire/less lift. It's on an MJ, so it looks like the 2dr XJ flares are the same according to BW's website. Looking to mount 35x12.5 on about...

I remember some time back about how someone had cut each flare and then added a piece in each cut to make the flares larger. Seem like it was riveted or glued back together. Any links to this info? and how has this held up to vibration/ time?

OK, see here's the deal - got a couple of Cherokees that need to have their brake system flushed - easiest way to do it is with a power brake bleeder, which I don't own, and I don't want to pay someone to do it (AKA I'm cheap!). Cleaning out the attic, I found an old pump-up sprayer that I used...

It's been way too many years since I went north into Canada. Thinking about a quick vacation in a few weeks, and I have a friend in Minneapolis that wants to see me. Just another half day, and I can be in Canada, crossing over into Manitoba, going west, and coming back through Saskatuan. Any...

89 MJ 4.0 231 d30/44 long bed- Been checking into the possibility of using a long arm kit (Claytons, Full Traction, or RE-if they ever make it to production). SOA in the rear is a no brainer, but no one seems to know if the front is EXACTLY the same as an XJ. Talked to Claytons and...

Anyone have a hi-rez version of the NAXJA logo? Just like the one at the top of this page? Looking to copy it, so the local sign shop can make me a sticker about 8x18 that I can affix to the side windows. JPEG format is preferred, can work with about any other.... Post, or PM, TIA, Cheropair

Does anyone know if there is a bolt-on axle end, or maybe a weld-on conversion, that would allow one to use a D44 or such and make it into a portal axle? I can see many benefits in a portal axle, and a gear reduction of about 1.5 to 1. would be awesome - make those stock 3.55 gears work like...

Measured from wheel center to edge of flare lip - front 18", rear 19". Has about 170,000 miles on it, original as far as I can tell. Just seems to sit low compared to Cherokees running around here. Any one else have an MJ, and what is the height? Is it different than an XJ, somewhere I heard...

Considering the installation of a roll cage, not so much for the safety (although that is a plus), but to prevent some of the dreaded cracking of the uni-body. It's a 4dr, '96 XJ. Would like to know ballpark prices, features, and manufacturers. Want something in current production ;) ,with...

OK, so maybe I'm wwaayy off the mark on this one--- Was just helping my Uncle change a tire on his tractor, thing weighed a lot more than it should have. He explained that it was full of a water/chloride mix. Made me think - on a trail only rig, would putting water in the tires add enough...

If someone has an Eliminator, or at least an MJ with buckets and a hand parking brake, would you please let us know how the thing works!!!! Check these threads for info as to what we are trying to do- http://www.naxja.org/forum/showthread.php?s=&threadid=8749...

Using a XJ donor to convert my MJ from bench to console/buckets. Have already dealt with the seat bracket cut/shift/weld problem, moving the mounts for the floor console was easy. Floor shifter conversion looks pretty straight-forward, just un-bolt and bolt other in. Parking brake on MJ was...

I have several flares, and remember seeing a long time ago about how someone had taken two flares, cut them up, and then stuck them back together to make one super-size fender flare. Anyone have a link, or remember who did this? I'd like to know how it all worked, along with the materials used...

Story- Ran across an ad in the local Thrifty Nickel for a Cherokee trans and motor. Lot of tornado damage around here, looking for grey interior and A/C set-up. Turns out the ad was from a local yard,(Mace Auto Salvage 3801 Burlington, Kansas City, MO) still had the body only for $100. Took...

Need some help finding the trails - are they in Fancy Creek Park or are they in Randolph State Park? Both? What if any markings are there? Anyone have GPS coordinates...

Just picked up a '80s something 258 from a CJ, wanting to use it with '87 4.0 to make budget stroker. As I disassemble the 258, just wanted to know what parts interchange, i.e. - waterpump rockers pushrods lifters head oilpan brackets (OBA?) Need to know what parts may be kept as back-ups...
