    Possible move...looking at Jobs

    I've been in VA for nearly my whole life and am looking at moving out to the denver/colorado springs area by next summer. I'm hoping that some of y'all might have some suggestions as to where I/the lady could look for jobs in the area. She and I are both interested in non-profit work and have...

    Harley Davidson mirrors in a YJ?

    I had heard something about using Harley mirrors for YJ/TJ when you take the doors off. Anyone know about what years might work/know anything about it? Also, haven't seen anything about mirrors that would fit in the door slots, but do they exist? (i've done the usual searches for what i knew...

    small block vs. big block, long block vs. short block

    Short block = don't replace headers, doesn't come with anything attached long block= headers replaced, doesn't come with anything attached small block= ? big block= ? crate motor= everything you need in one box? tried a search, but came up empty. I guess I'm trying to figure out what comes...

    5.0L in '89 auto

    Anyone out there make an adapter to mate a 5.0L Mustang to an aw4 tranny (mine's an '89 auto with a recently replaced tranny)? I'm getting a rebuilt engine and since I have to spend the money (keeping in mind, I'm hoping not to go much over 1500) I figured I would at least explore my options...

    engine differences/reliability

    done a few searches around and read the dr. dyno writeup, but would like to know a bit more. from the search, i gather that the headers are slightly different from year to year and that '00+ are less reliable (+ 1/2 of the '99), but outside of searching around here, are there any other websites...

    '89 XJ with tranny trouble

    AW4 tranny is slipping, so it's time to replace. I know that '87-90 is a direct replacement, but any suggestions on things that will go in/upgrade? I've done a bit of searching and it looks like a '91-'96 will go in with a little work, but I'm not sure what's involved. Did the usual newbie...

    Automatic tranny compatibility

    I've got an '89 XJ and have been told that I could use up through a '90 XJ for the same transmission. ANyone know what changed in later years/whether i could use a newer transmission (say from an '01)? Most of the ones i've found in my area have a TON of miles on the '89/'90 and I'm hoping not...

    Oil Filter question

    I was changing the oil in my '89 XJ Ltd. (auto, 4.0 L) and the oil filter that Advanced Auto had for my engine is not what ended up fitting the threads (it suggests HP-2007, but HP-2003 is the only one that fits the threads). Kind of makes me wonder why that may be the case...any ideas? Y'all...

    Slotted Rotors

    I've searched around here for a while and can only really find a couple posts about using them in mud. I know quite a few guys here are from the west coast, so you probably don't see as much of the VA red clay that tends to stick to things and bring rocks with it... opinions/experiences? I'm...

    vibration...hopin' not driveline related

    starts vibratin' around 25MPH, but only when I've got my foot on the gas. Clears up around 35/40, then comes back around 55MPH, only to disappear again at 65MPh ...hoping it's not driveline vibes, but what else could it be? Ball joints...wheel bearings?:dunno:

    Alternator Problems???

    1989 XJ Ltd. Measures 12v at the battery(and on the gauge) and dips when i put on the brights, and heat. After giving it some gas, the voltage does not return to 12v and also never gets to the 14-15v that it probably should be running... we just finished replacing the alternator and tested...

    Quiet Catback Systems?

    The jeep's already loud enough with a leaky sunroof (howls on the HW), that I'd like to keep the noise down if possible. Anyone have some suggestions on a quieter catback system? I've read that Flowmaster and borla tend to be fairly loud, but don't have much experience in hearing a lot of them.

    years to stay away from...

    i've got a buddy who just wrecked his Explorer (hydroplaned going 20 MPH and it rolled) and is looking into getting another SUV- i'm obviously trying to bring him over to the Cherokee side, but have had a few issues in doing so- namely his mother. SHe wants him to have dual airbags in the jeep...

    Offroad lighting

    has anyone had success in mounting lights just above the side mirrors (windshield light mounts), like many do on the TJ? I haven't ever seen light mount brackets to put a couple spotlights up on the pilars, but maybe I just haven't searched hard enough? :dunno:

    Thief on the prowl...

    just an f.y.i. we had a guy monitoring our boards in my local jeep club and he ended up stealing a member's winch and spare tire, as well as another's hi-lift jack! :twak: Worst of it was that it was only a kid of 18 (just graduated H.S.) Anyway, the next day he tried selling the winch on...

    Thermostat issues

    I've checked around on this one and done a few searches of the site, but haven't seen anyone answer for a jeep older than a '91. I have an '89 XJ and had some issues overheating on a long trip to SC last week. It was probably close to 95 outside, driving about 75/80 mph, and my temp. gauge ran...
