    Has anyone run bassett wheels?

    I know bassett wheels are big in circle track racing among other things, and I stumbled across these. They seem pretty lightweight (for steel wheels), the price is right, and they're made here in the USA. Does anyone have any experience with these? http://www.bassettwheel.com/dot.html

    XJ battery fitment...

    The battery in my 1996 XJ is pretty old (6 years or so... I think), and I was looking at batteries online, and noted that the size of the batteries changed for 1998, and the CCA rating went from 610CCA to 700CCA. Hmmm... 1993 - 1997 Jeep Cherokee Sport Battery, Group Size 58, 610 CCA...

    AMC 360 in a XJ?

    I have a 1974 AMC Javelin. 360v8. I saved 2 AMC 360ci engines from the scrapman (one tired longblock, one shortblock that has 200 miles before breaking the (original, sigh) oil pump drive gears (should have replaced them during rebuild!) that has some surface rust. A hone and it should be...

    Shackle Bolts... where to get them??

    In an effort to avoid a trip to the dealer, my buddy Jim (best friend, and owner of a Cherokee and a Comanche) left the following on my facebook page tonight. I haven't bothered the parts guy yet (I see him enough as it is), but just wondering if anyone knows the specs of the shackle bolts...

    Hypertech Max-Energy Econon 96 xj

    pn 53000 http://www.hypertech-inc.com/products-results.aspxl I found one on c-list for $150, and while I used the search button and found that the general feeling over the performance chips were not very great (stock I'm told they already have a pretty aggressive timing curve). Well, in a 'hey...

    Steering upgrade and fix questions

    So the fiancee (soon to be wife as of Saturday!) hates driving my Jeep because of how it handles and steers, saying it's sloppy and leans all over. We decided it's a lot easier for her to drive my Jeep to her work around the corner and I take her little jellybean car up to my work 30 miles...

    which 8.25 do I have?

    I swapped out the D35 last fall, and would like to know any ways to externally identify if my 8.25 is the 29 spline or the 27 spline version. It came out of a 'gen 2' XJ, so I'm thinking it's the 29 spline, but would like to know if there are any serial numbers to look out for. Thanks.:cheers:

    lockout hubs

    I was looking at a Ford Ranger and it had a Dana 30 front axle (just like our XJs) and noticed it had Warn locking hubs- allowing 2lo! So... I was wondering if anyone tried to install lockouts on a XJ before. I did hit the search button, but not a whole lot came up. -Matt

    A different kind of XJ tailgate not opening issue

    In spring '09 I had the tailgate seize on me, and I pulled the interior trim and popped it open with a screwdriver. Easy.:guitar: Well I opened it about a week ago and it worked okay, and now it won't open at all. The button presses in, but nothing happens. The screwdriver trick from the...

    rear axle vent tube

    Being original it's hard as a rock and won't come off the bolt that goes into the axletube without destroying it.:explosion I thought about twisting it counterclockwise and hoping I get the number right when it's tightened to not be twisted at all, but it would be easier to replace it. So, I...

    Shim Removal?

    So I pulled the axle out (d35 to 8.25 swap I'm sure many of you have seen up here) and the shims are still hanging there on the bottom of the leafs. Not wanting to use the BFH and screw up the leafs, I thought I'd ask first (I had the leafs installed at a shop, remember this is the rust...

    axle swap time... dana 35 to Chry. 8.25

    I'm basically wondering what's the best 8.25 for the XJs are, I don't think the swap would be too difficult and there's probably a writeup somewhere out there, I just haven't searched hard enough for it yet. So- what's the best 8.25 (direct swap to XJ) and is there a vin code or anything to...
