I have some ZJ seats in my TJ, and plan on getting some WJ seats for the XJ. I've done some searching, but can;t seem to find any specific info. Has anyone hooked up the heated seat portion off a switch? The driver ZJ seat has some extra wires that the passenger seat does not have. I heard...

I currently have a 4 inch S-10 bastard pack with stock shackle and stock box. I was planning on modding the shackle box to get a hair more lift and improve the stock shackle angle. Now, I also plan on getting the Big Offroad 4 inch packs later on. I understand these are longer than stock. Does...

I installed an RE XD trackbar on my 98. I built my own mount for it. I know the mount is in the right position, beacuse the the track bar only goes one way, and really has no slop. Problem is it's positioned too far to the rear, and if I didn't have bumpstops in the diff would hit the...

I'm trying to decide whether to keep the 8.25 in the rear of my DD 98. One thing I want to know is there anything that can be done with the e-brake cables that hang down under the axle? Seems like if I wheeled it they would likely get ripped off sometime. I like rocks. :D Anyone have any way to...

What length are the aftermarket radius arms (Clayton/RE/TNT)? I'm building radius arms to get longer links under it, but will add an upper arm later and get rid of the short uppers. Is 26-27 inches too short for radius arms? I am not thinking is is since they will be the same angle, but want...

I'm looking to get some rear leaf springs for the CHerokee, and want to balance price and quality. It's mostly a street rig, but will be taking the yearly trip down to the Rubicon/Fordyce in it. WHat would be a good leaf set? Should I make or get a pair of shackles to replace the aging (100...

I'm going to build a 3-link with trackbar for the Cherokee, and would like to know what the Currie Johnny Joints look like without the shank. I'm going to use them at both ends and not sure the provision to attach the joint directly to the tube. Thanks for any help..

Does anyone offer front 4-link brackets by themselves? I'd like them free of the crossmember so I can fab/buy my own, but will consider other options. I emailed Full Traction, but after searching it looks like they're not selling the pieces at all. Any others?

I'll be fabbing a simple tubing bumper with winch mount for my 98. Question is, would it be stronger in the long run to weld up some front unibody reinforments, then fab the bumper to mount through that, or is using a pair of reinforcements as bumper mounts (welded to bumper) sufficient. I...

I'm going to be replacing the engine mounts in my 98 Sport. Now, my wheeler is a TJ with a 4 cylinder and I've never worried about the stock rubber style engine mounts. In my old 88 XJ I also replaced with stock mounts. But this 98 XJ I'm going to be putting on 35s, and possibly a doubler setup...

So I'm thinking of installing a Detroit and using the 29 spline 8.25 in my 98 to wheel a bit. I've never been inside, so I'm not sure about oil passages or anything, but can I cut off/grind off the lip on the bottom of the center chunk? I'd like it as smooth as a baby's bottom....

Does anyone know how mcuh further this stick out from the stock 44 cover?

Against my better judgement, I installed an RE flange SYE on the girl's 1998 XJ, trying to save a little cash. The new seal was puking ATF, so I pulled the driveshaft and when I grabbed the flange, the damn thing has play in it! Everything was tight, except the flange on the splines. :bs...

I'm thinking of installing J-arms on a Dana 30. I was thinking of using the JKS relocation bracket for the track bar. Question is, since the trackbar is going to be raised 4 inches at the axle end (per JKS web site), can I use the stock steering (Currie)? Will my steering geometry be too out of...

I'm pretty sure I'll be putting on the Currie J-arms with the JKS trackbar relocation bracket on the girl's XJ. I want to raise the drag link connection and run a knuckle-to-knuckle tie rod on the lower arm. What knuckles knuckle/brackets are available and recommeded with a higher drag link...

On my 98 Sport, when in '12', it won't shift up into 2nd from 1st. It'll shift down from 2nd to 1st if I'm at speed, bit will not go up. I can't really recall from my 88, but it's supposed to shift up, correct? It's welcome if I wheel it, but this is her DD and '12' is nice during inclement...

Is there a combination frame reinforcement and front bumper mount? I'm looking it as a base to make a custom bumper from. Thanks.:)

How thick is the tube on the 29 spline (1998) 8.25? Just figuring out what size mig wire to use. Thanks. :greensmok

Got a new Lincoln mig so I wnted a little project to refresh myself with welding. I made a little interior rack for the Cherokee Basket frame done, ready to measure for legs and feet. Here the feet are done and I glued some rubber matting to soften the blow to the carpet, and also to 'grip'...

I've done some searching, but can't really find an answer. I lifted the GF's 98 XJ 4 inches, and am currently using some old Tera arms I had. If I use the JKS track bar mount to relocate the front track bar, can I use the stock/Currie steering with the Currie J-arms? Thanks for some input.
