    You know of one for the AW4?

    Crazy Mod!!!!

    LISTEN, EVRYONE, PLEASE. THERE ARE A LOT OF IGNORANT PEOPLE IN THIS THREAD, WHO REALLY DON'T KNOW WHAT THEY'RE DOING. (No offense) DO NOT TRY THIS ON YOUR JEEPS!!!!! LET HIM FIGURE OUT WHAT IS GOING ON. SHORT STORY, IT WILL NOT WORK FOR YOUR JEEP, RETARD. No offense to OlympicGold, bud, but I...

    350 LT1 crate (I'm still giddy!!!)

    Sounds like a great deal. But I really highly doubt he paid $3800 for an LT1 crate motor. So be careful what he tells you.

    4.7L grand swap

    To answer the original question plainly, it would be much more work than it's worth.

    K&N FIPK..how can they justify cost ??

    A big restriction in the 4.0L intake is the actual intake tube. If you just use a filter, or a kit that doesn't replace everything to the TB, you aren't gaining as much. It's still minimal though. If you have the money, spring for the FIPK. If not, homebrew works well enough. Honestly, if I had...

    water pumps

    Yes, in 97 they redesigned the pump and made it more efficient, even picked up something like 2hp in the process. Anyway, if you ask for a 97' and newer pump at an auot parts place, they are all the same, just like the older pumps. Therefore, if you want the gain, you will have to get it from...

    Fastest XJ

    Governed to 116mph. So going over that would not be "easy". Back on subject, I hit that governer once every couple months. SO, 116 is the fastest a stock XJ can go. Any faster, and you need to have an uncalibrated speedo or a chip that eliminates the stock gov. No more BS people.

    Want to make a faster 4.0 HO XJ

    No, that's why I put in the "Country" part. 4.0L is standard fare. And A/C weighs 40-60lbs. You can't go by what your XJ weighs, because the weights I listed are "dry". Empty gas tank, brand new stock vehicle. Aftermarket parts, gasoline, your fat ass, caked mud, dirt, and dust, and old french...

    Want to make a faster 4.0 HO XJ

    Oh yeah, my source. www.autotrader.com 1994 4 door XJ Country RWD: Curb Weight: 2928lbs (That's me!) 1994 4 door XJ Country 4WD: Curb Weight: 3090lbs (That's actually less difference than I thought...) Comes to.....162lbs.

    Want to make a faster 4.0 HO XJ

    Oh, I may be wrong too, but I run a RWD, so I hope I'm right, or I've BSed alot of people. Think about it, how much can a x-case, front shaft, and front axle weigh over a front beam? I don't think 600lbs, but I don't know from experience.

    Want to make a faster 4.0 HO XJ

    2WD is olny 2-300lbs lighter than a 4WD. I wish that were true! Also, look for a ChryCo 8.25 rear over the D35, it's consider much stronger and more reliable.

    Wow, check your floor pans! (rust)

    I work for a glass and mirror company, and we have a silicone called "neutra-cure". If you use silicone behind a mirror, it will blacken up and get crappy after a bit. So any work done around mirrors gets neutracure because it has little or no acid. I don't know where you could find it besides...

    Aftermarket Antisway bars

    Like I said earlier, boneyards are pretty much out of the question, cuz they suck around me, and if I find something, the stingy bastards charge like a dealership anyway. You guys are all lucky. I found a 92' XJ once, and the guy wanted $180 for the old head. I told him to fuck himself and I...

    Good 4.0 performance ECU?

    You could get the same effect for cheaper by doing it yourself. Also, it says 20% gain in hp. Yeah, okay. You'll get 38hp at the flywheel. There's even a dyno sheet right below that claim that shows maybe 15rwhp gain.

    Aftermarket Antisway bars

    Really? No shit. I was trying to shy away from shocks cuz I thought I'd have to pay some wipe to do them. My XJ's from Florida, It's been up here by Chicago for about 4 or 5 years. I think it's time for some Bilsteins. MaX, thanks alot for clearing that up. I'm mostly an engine guy, and am...

    A/F Ratio Gauge

    Yeah, I've always wondered about this. Why do people go through the trouble of fooling the puter with tricks, or chips or whatever if it's worthless at WOT? So they can part throttle accelerate faster? And xuv-this, no, I think that most autos run on the rich side from the factory, including...

    Aftermarket Antisway bars

    Sorry, don't think I was clear in the first post. I don't want to reduce oversteer. Actually, I wouldn't mind if it increased a little. I just don't want any increase in understeer. I'm mostly just looking for overall sharper handling through reduced body roll. So I guess a big rear bars my best...

    Aftermarket Antisway bars

    1) Interesting. Yeah, I know that most lifted rigs disco at least the back bar, but in my app, I think they work to a degree. My swaybar endlink snapped about 2 weeks ago, and I could feel a difference in cornering until I replaced it. The police package idea is great, I'll PM you soon for...

    Aftermarket Antisway bars

    Thanks guys, but yeah, junkyards around me suck. I get so jealous of stories about sweet finds, cuz I can rarely find an XJ at all, very rarely a 4.0L, and never a HO. Between the price of the shocks and about 100 bones to install them, I'm looking at about $400 right? That's what I thought...
