    toyota 4 runner

    I have to agree with most of the others; there is little to bash about the 4-runner. If its a Jeep thing that makes ya want to talk him out of it, tell him to at least take a look at the newer Grand Cherokee (WJ) before he makes a final decision. I wasn't too thrilled with getting the wife her...

    overhead CB mount

    I don't think he is asking about placing a permanent antenna on the roof, but rather mounting the CB up between the visors. On my XJ, I have a small CB mounted up there, using the bracket that came with the radio. All I did was use a small needle to poke through the headliner until I could...

    Who swears by splitfire's?

    At the time, Summit Racing (www.summitracing.com) was selling the NGK plugs for $1.99 each. They are now $2.39 ea. When I ordered mine, it was with some other stuff, but I still ordered 12 to help offset the S$H charges. Six of those plugs are still sitting on the shelf in the original boxes.:D

    Who swears by splitfire's?

    The NGK plugs in my 93 are quickly closing in on 75k miles and show no signs of needing replaced. Not too shabby for a set of plugs that cost less than $12.

    New jeep in the family that makes three

    Listen to Eagle, as he knows of what he speaks!:D My wifes WJ has both the 242 tcase and the 4.0L six. At 75k miles, it is just getting broken in. Others I know with the full time tcases & the earlier V8s, are just about ready to dump their 99 & 00 WJs.

    Goin to a full size spare, recommendations?

    The first thing I did with my 93 was replace the donut with a full size spare. The mount has held a 30" spare tire just fine for 10 plus years. Its a little tight squeezing the tire between the rear hatch and the back seat, but it does fit. My back seat is a wee bit scuffed up from the spare...

    D30 Wheel Bearings

    I just replaced both front bearing hubs on my 93 a couple weeks ago. You do need to purchase the entire assembly and I got my Timken hubs from AutoZone for ~$130 each. There is no core charge. The replacement is pretty simple and since you replaced the u-joints, you already know what's...

    np 231 oil Q (kind of urgent)

    You made the right choice, as that ATF+4 stuff can only be purchased from the stealership! My wifes new WJ, requires ATF+4 in both the tranny and the tcase (NV242). Just picked up the ATF+4 at the stealership last Sat. The liquid gold cost $28.50 per gallon or just a tad over $7/qt. I don't...

    Diff. Identification and Gaskets

    Waynes got ya covered on the part numbers and they can be picked up at AutoZone (at least in the Hbg, PA area) for <$4 each. Just replaced the lube in both axles of my XJ last weekend and using the gaskets makes it a very simple job. As long as the cover and diff housing surfaces are in good...

    What was your worst 'let it get away' vehicle?

    A Candy Apple Red, 65' CJ5A. Drove it all through my high school years, but the parents thought I needed something a "little more reliable" when I went off to college.:rolleyes: Thing had a flathead 4 in it and struggled to reach 55mph on the interstate, but there wasn't any place in the...

    Transmission oil change

    On my 93', I find removing the dip-stick before attempting to separate the tube. Makes it a lot easier for me. The 1st time I replaced the filter, the dip stick got all mangled as I attempted to separate the tube.

    can't find a select track XJ!!!!

    Cause I can tell ya right now that they would all say the same thing - "Yeah we have full-time 4wd Cherokees". But when you get to the lot, they'd just point to the Cherokees, with no idea what type of 4wd they had. It wasn't the use of select trac vs. command trac that they were having a hard...

    can't find a select track XJ!!!!

    I was recently looking for an XJ w/ the select trac and you are right they are hard to find. The sad part is, none of the dealers even knew what I was talking about when I'd call. I did find a couple 98 & 99 and even one 00, but it was in pretty rough shape. They are out there, but I didn't...
