Curious about your engine build. Stock bore with a 258 crank/rods and custom pistons?

or wire your "kill switch" to a timed shut-off. When the vehicle is powered up, the fuel pump stays on for, say, 30 seconds. Starts and dies. Starts and dies. Thief thinks there's something wrong with the vehicle rather then looking for a kill switch.

Well, it finally happened. The non-TUPY 0331 head on my 2000 XJ popped. After 159,400 miles, during a road-trip, over 1000 miles from home. As it turns out, it was lucky I was on a road-trip. The only symptom I noticed was a single stutter before it would start, and markedly lower mileage. If I...

The late model XJ qualified for the "cash for clunkers" trade in a few years back. 'Lot of nice ones got junked for that.

How much lift are you running? Generally, 33" tires require 4" of lift or a lot of fender trimming. The old school rule of thumb was rim size aprox 1/2 tire diameter: at least 32" for a 16", 34" for 17" etc. It's a personal opinion, but 16" wheels are about as big as you can put on a XJ that...

If the upcountry springs have the stock size spring-eyes, use the factory/OEM bushings. They're made with a higher durometer rubber then most aftermarket bushings and last longer. If they're not stock size, see if they're YJ Wrangler size.( it's a common change spring manufacturers use to save...

Well,.. That’s finally over. All the wailing liberals should remember that Mr Trump was a liberal leaning Democrat for a long time before he was a Republican. All the cheering conservatives should remember that before he was a Republican, Mr Trump was a liberal leaning Democrat for a long...

'Finally got fed up with all the little niggling problems with Bone and went to work on it. Funny, AC has been problematic for years, and it was the heater core that drove me over the edge,.. in Arizona. The list: Rear main seal - leaking Timing chain cover seal leaking Oil filter adapter seal...

You can cheat and not pull the column, but honestly by the time you've dropped it down it's easier to remove it then fight everything around it. If you can find/borrow/download/steal a copy of the factory service manual, it's a huge help. They are pretty "year-specific" though. I had a '98 handy...

This stuff is kind of like AC system stop-leak. It might work for a while, and probably won't screw up anything that isn't already messed up if it doesn't work. If it does work, it's only going to be an intermittent fix. Keep the vehicle, and eventually you're going to have to break down and do...

This sub-forum was started to segregate the political crap from the rest of the "off-topic" stuff. There was some pretty heated discussion during the last 2 election cycles. This year? Nothing. I have a feeling that it's not that no one here cares. My hunch is, it's so bad this year that...

I got Fox Performance shocks for my wrangler. Near as I can tell, the difference between the standard Fox 2.0 and the performance series is the lack of a standard nitrogen change port. If you don't plan on doing your own service, it doesn't matter. If you think at any point in the future you...

There's a harness product called a "Muttslinger" (or "Mutslinger, not sure which)" you can get. Its a full body harness with a leash attachment on the bottom/center of the chest. In the event of a rollover, a short leash will leave the dog hanging from the harness without lynching him/her. Mount...

All the transmissions with this style shifter are full electronic control. The solution should be simple. Driver's door open below, say 5mph for any reason, ABS/traction control system engage, stop the vehicle and the transmission shifts itself into park. Literally every car for sale in orth...

Reading through the thread, I think everyone lost track of the original question. Here are some thoughts. First: This doesn’t mean you’re overworking the shock. 200 deg. will burn the crap out of you, but isn’t necessarily overheating the shock. (I did the same thing on a Fox 2.0 after a hard...

As to the changes to the trail,.. Anybody know the history of the rubicon? As I recall it started out as a stagecoach road between Placerville and Lake Tahoe. Yep. Originally you could take a horse and wagon team through there. When I ran it (big sluice cleaned up but the rocks still on...

Saw clips from the episode of Top gear US where the ran it. Is that what you're talking about? Bunch of needless drama, abandoning a vehicle half way through, bunch of unusable photos? Didn't watch the whole thing. Nice scenery, maybe worth watching muted with some good music playing.

Not positive on this, (and I'm sure someone will correct me if wrong) but I believe the 00 and 01 may be interchangable. Everything I've read has the 01, final partial year production as no change from the 00 model. Easy way to check, find the part# for the 00 harness, and if its not the same...

Not sure if there's a difference between the '99 and the '00, but if you haven't gotten bigger antiroll bars, chect if your xj has a rear bar installed(pretty sure all the late models have them) and see if your front bar is any smaller then a '00-'01 bar. The original antisway bar on my '00 was...

Although you said the battery is new, the symptoms you're describing are what you get with a dying battery. Had the same issues a couple years ago, turned out it was the battery starting to go bad. Try swapping the bat for one of your friends/relitives, or have it tested by a reputable shop. (...
