Having just added seat heaters to my 01, the thought of a heated wheel would be a real bonus. Wonder how feasible that is without a cheesy steering wheel cover/cord.

Do you still have your original tcase? If so swap it back in temporarily and I bet the issue goes away. The issue is not in the trans. You did not damage the park pawl or anything else by running it slightly low on fluid for a bit. The only thing I cam think of other than it being an issue...

Remove the shift linkage from the arm on the tcase. Using a pry bar or hammer, move the arm to the far forward position and test again. If it still grinds going back into park the problem is within the tcase

I ran an Amazon stainless header, possibly DNA Motors, on my 99. It fit well other than having to dent one primary a bit to clear the horseshoe intake. Quality was good but it was only on 6 months or so before that jeep totalled. Picked up a used Banks for my 01 with the Cali emissions, had to...

It's likely internal to the tcase. The trans grinds going into park because it is disconnected from the rest of the drivetrain and you can not stop the internals from spinning by stopping the jeep as usual. Same reason the jeep won't move in gear. The tcase is essentially stuck in neutral.

Every walbro style external pump I've used has been loud. I have a genuine walbro on my buggy and it screams even with the isolating boot and good tight mounts. They are also generally short lived as they dont like to suck fuel over any real distance, they aren't cooled by being submerged in...

A couple pics from tonight since the shell is still sitting in my yard. You can kinda see how I welded a length of L stock along the bottom edge of the floor pan, then braced up to the 2x6 with 3" flat stock. The kickers were cut to fit the profile of the floor, not run thru the floor pan.

I had wondered about that, but also saw there were trans parameters available in the file I pulled so wasn't sure if it had to stay connected. Thanks!

I cut the bottom of my doors and never closed them back off, no issues. I also ran 1x3 vertically from the bottom of the 2x6 down to the rails in 3 spots per side. The rear one tied into the leaf spring hanger, the middle into my cage base plate, and the front under the kicj panel/ a pillar. I...

Sorry for the silence, I did manage to get my MPVI2 back in action and read my 2001 with the Beta Editor software. From what I can see there is a decent amount of tuning abilities with the 01 computer. I have read issues with phantom codes (p0700 specifically) after flashing but those were...

Just checking in to see if anyone has any experience using HPTuners on 99+ XJs? I'll be building a supercharged 4.0 at some point and was looking at options for tuning. I know of the Split Second setup but already own the HP MPVI2 and would prefer to flash the stock ECM depending on what all...

I'm interested in hearing people's thoughts on this as well. I had the exact same setup as you on my 99 and even with prothanes felt it was way too soft most of the time. I had planned on going with the PAC jeepspeed coils but now that they are no longer producing suspension products I am...

My old 30 front was at ~62.75 wms with spacers, the HP44 sits at ~68.25 wms so definitely a bigger difference than I'd like. Definitely feel like the tube size and gear strength would be worth the loss in ground clearance though. That's the opposite from which I'd like to accomplish. My gears...

The last 30 was inner sleeved, but no truss. Should have done one when I 3 linked it, but ran out of time. Either way the next axle will be trussed for sure. I twisted one inner chromo shaft in 16 years, but did replace the 4.56 gears twice. HP44 should move the weak link to the shafts/joints...

Long story short, my old XJ got totalled out by an illegal so I'm rebuilding from scratch. One of my main complaints with my old setup was the front axle. D30 tubes bend easy, and I had put 3 sets of gears in it over the years. I have another HP30 sitting here ready to build as well as a...

Like the title says, I'm looking for a good condition silver 97+ header panel and hood. The 01 I got to replace my 99 has some paint issues so I'd like to clean it up a bit if anyone has them. Thanks!

Got the motor prepped to swap this morning, the header was a pain as expected but the harness went smoothly. Got a couple broken connectors that I'll have to grab from pullapart and swap out eventually and was missing the little capacitor thing the 2000's use. Got everything dropped in 01...

Uploaded a couple pics just because. 99 before: After: Replacement 2001: Solid hit: The heart of the 99 will live on:

Thanks guys, sounds like I'm on the right track and not missing anything major! I have a 0331 non TUPY head that came with the 01 but its pretty rough and still a poor design. If it was a TUPY I'd consider it but I'm going to stick with my 0630 for now. I'd read about doing the adapter...

Hey ya'll, been a while since I was on the forum. Long story short an illegal totalled my 99 that I'd had for 16 years. Picked up a clean 2001 4.0 AW4 2wd with no motor to swap my drivetrain into. Donor carcass is a 99 4.0 AW4 231 w/ 120k. I have the 99 drivetrain pulled and cleaned up...
