    which wheel spacers w/moab wheels?

    I'm currently running a 6.5" 3-link LA kit and am experiencing some rubbing on the front shocks in tight turns. I'm running some stock TJ Moab16's w/32" tires. I'm thinking a wheel spacer should help especially since ill eventually go up in tire size. Or would I still run into the shock at...

    Axle wrap or tranny mount?

    I just installed a Aussie in the rear of my '99 w/6.5" of lift. The previous owner installed 3" block, a shim, extra leafs, and a 1.25" shackle. I recently noticed that when accelerating maybe 1/4-1/2 throttle out of the hole I get a horrible grinding noise. Sounds similar to extremely...

    ZJ seats are too cramped in my XJ!!

    I recently bought a '99 XJ that has some leather seats front and rear from I believe a '97 ZJ. The seats sit too damn high and forward. I need something lower, preferably lower than stock XJ seat or same height and something that will allow to sit farther back. Any suggestions on what I can...

    3" blocks on new xj yikes!!!

    I just picked up a '99 w/ 6.5" of lift. Long arm kit up front. Everything is kosher up front its just in the rear the previous owner used what looks like a 1.25" shackle, a 3" block, an angled shim, and two sets of XJ leafs. It does have a nice SYE and is still running a stock front driveshaft...

    CSF 2 vs. 3 core radiator

    I'm replacing my radiator this weekend and am debating between a 2 or a 3 core radiator from radiatorbarn. I ran a 3 core in my '01 w/33's and stock gearing and it seemed to cool pretty we'll except at slower speeds the temp would climb a bit even with a zj HD fan clutch. On my '99 I'm running...

    '99 cylinder head question

    Hey guys I took a bit of a hiatus and went with a wj for a while but am looking to get back in the XJ game again. I'm looking at a 99 classic that has a build date of 08/98 and am wondering what head is on it. I haven't seen it in person so I can't check the casting number. I talked to the guy...

    Aussie locker and 4.56 re-gear

    Been running a Aussie in my 8.25 with stock gears for some time now. Looking to regear to some 4.56s and remember reading somewhere that something has to be done either with the cross shaft or the ring gear teeth themselves. Can anybody confirm or deny if this needs to be done or not? Thanks...

    odd A/C issue.

    My A/C works great and haven't had any issues w/it until recently. I've noticed when stopped and accelerate it squeels pretty good. Belt perhaps? Listening to the engine w/the A/C off now the A/C pulley squeeks, turn the A/C on and it stops squeeking... Bearing?TIA,Sean

    Where to get an OEM fan clutch?

    Besides the stealership where would be the best place to get an OEM fan clutch? I checked Wholesalemoparonline and they were out of stock. I tried a Hayden fan clutch but it was junk right out of the box. Surely don't want to pay $90 for a fan clutch but what others would be good? Heard the...

    wet torque vs. dry torque?

    I put a new Alabama head on last weekend and all is running well. I did notice however that the valvetrain is noticeably louder at idle and through the R's. It's not lifter tap or piston slap, it's noticeably coming from the valve cover(not loud, just noticeable). When I torqued the rocker arm...

    Mechanical fan CFM?

    Does anybody know how much CFM the stock mechanical fan pulls at idle(warm/cold)? I'm looking to maybe go another route for my tranny cooler but am wondering if the stock fan clutch will pull more CFM. TIA guys, Sean

    head gasket choices?

    I'm in the middle of ordering all the parts needed to swap out my 0331 head and have narrowed my choices down to two different head gaskets. First is the Fel-Pro part number 9076PT1 which is the standard permatorque gasket. Then there's the 530SD which is their severe duty version. Which one...

    torqueing rocker arms and setting TDC with no distributor

    Well I may be joining the 0331 head club here sooner than expected. Gonna pic up an Alabama cylinder head. I've changed quite a few heads but on the LS series GM rockers all you did was torque them down to 26 lbs ft. And go(self adjusting). My understanding from the Haynes manual you bring each...

    So I bought an 01 a couple weeks ago and had to replace the leaking stock radiator. Went with a new CSF 3 core, new OEM thermostat, and new rad cap.
