No, I have not tried that yet. Another reason for going back to stock is not having to haul around a 31" spare inside the Jeep. My wife is due to have our first child any day now and having the extra room in the back is going to be a necessity. Yes I could buy a rear bumper with the tire...

After reviewing my question, I guess I should clarify that I am considering taking the lift off as well as the 31" tires. The way I worded it made it sound like I would only be taking the tires off which really wouldn't solve the problem. :doh: So the question would be, at stock ride height...

I just didn't know if 4.25 would put the tire out far enough to rub on the flares at stock height. This Jeep is my daily so it's not going to see much if any time offroad.

Got a wheel question guys. I am looking at possibly buying some steel wheels to put on my 98 XJ but there really isn't anything out there that is somewhat close to stock backspacing. Would I have trouble with a 15 x 7 wheel with only 4 1/2" with 235/75/15's? How about 4 1/4" rear spacing with...

I'm in on this one because I couldn't find an answer to that question either. Lots of searching too. :read:

You don't happen to know any part #'s on those shocks do you? I've been looking at their website and haven't seen anything priced under $32.99.

Alright guys. I've got a 98 XJ that the previous owner installed a Superlift 2-1/2" lift as well as Superlift shocks (approx. 1 year ago). If it matters, this Jeep is my daily driver and does not get wheeled so I really don't want to dump a bunch of money in it. Two days ago I discovered that...

You went a bit further than I did with mine. I took everything apart just enough to get the passenger side of the dash to swing out far enough to let the evaporator unit come out the bottom. Surely someone would figure this out, but you might add something about the five? studs that hold the...

First off here is a bit of info on my XJ. It is a 98 and has a 2 1/2" Superlift lift kit (installed by previous owner). This Jeep is my daily driver and most likely will not be taken off road because I don't want to be fixing broken stuff while trying to get out of debt. The problem I have is...

I just let them dry. It's just Dupli-Color wheel paint that you should be able to get at most auto parts stores. http://www.duplicolor.com/products/wheel.html

This set of wheels I have were pretty corroded and dirty when I bought them. There is a somewhat local shop that was able to bead blast them for me so that I didn't have to spend a bunch of time cleaning them up myself. On top of that, the glass bead media leaves a real fine texture to the...

That didn't get any paint on it at all because I put a bolt through the hole so that I would have something to hang the wheel with while painting. Consequently, it is still bare aluminum.

Will do. And thanks for the compliment. :thumbup:

Weel, after spending probably too much time thinking about this as well as talking to friends, here is what I came up with. The whole wheel was painted graphite followed by silver in between the spokes and around the outer lip. I still have to finish the other three as well as clear coat this...

That wheel picture I posted was just for something to look at. The wheels I bought were not in near that good of condition and were going to need alot of cleaning up to even think about any sort of refinishing. What I ended up doing was having someone bead blast them to get all the old dirt...

Ok guys, I recently acquired some turbine wheels to put on my 94 XJ Sport. They were pretty oxidized when purchased so I had them glass bead blasted so that I could start with a fresh surface. Right now I have a few ideas for refinishing them but wanted to get some other opinions. Here is the...

Since this was brought up, can I simply replace the hoses on my 94 with the 97+ stuff and do away with heater control valve? Are there any negative effects from doing this? I've already replaced the valve twice. The second time was because the first one started leaking after a month. Cheap...

If it is available, could my user name be changed to Cisco Kid please? I no longer own an 01 XJ. Thank you very much. :wave1:

Most of the Torx bolts used for seat belts are a T-50 regardless of vehicle brand. I am getting ready to tackle my headliner as well so let me know how it goes (or went) for you. :thumbup:

I second that. The kit I bought for my '01 fit great and saved me alot of time and frustration with trying to build my own. :thumbup:
