    Eagle Alloy rims in Moreno Valley, CA

    I upgraded recently, and I thought I'd see if anyone local want to swing by and pick these up for a spare set. 4 rims, labeled: Eagle Alloy; Max load 2100; 15x8J; 80/10; OFF:0; JDC; MLF; X; -C60; DOT-T The OFF:0 is, I expect, offset 0 which should be a 4" backspace for an 8x15 rim...

    New guy question, ARB bumper

    I have and ARB front bumper and Warn winch. No frame stiffeners, but I was told they would need to be trimmed if I wanted to add them. Perhaps someone else actually has both. Sorry.

    Anybody with an ARB...

    Just saw this, and I have a couple of measurements for you. My ARB extends out about 7.25 inches from the grill to the main part of the bumper. The license holder / winch housing in the center extends that to about 10.5 inches from the grill. It is about 9 inches from the bottom of the grill...

    California Trail Map

    I've been using California Trail Maps since at least 2014 when it was called San Diego Trail maps. Excellent product. I've only had one issue, with one part of a map that wouldn't load. Of course it was the area I was headed to the next day. I emailed the author in the evening, who had the...

    Other full lifetime warranty batteries besides Optima?

    The DieHard Platinum size 34 seems to be no longer available from Sears. While EnerSys makes Odyssey and used to make DieHard Platinum, there seems to be some discussion online as to whether or not they were actually the same internally. In any case, it looks like a moot point. Sears now...

    Other full lifetime warranty batteries besides Optima?

    You might want to look at Odyssey batteries. Expensive, but the extreme series has a full 4 year warranty. When my last Red Top was going out I went with an Odyssey (mostly because of the design, extra capacity and deep cycle capability and because nearly every time I've had a problem starting...

    Looking for a good alignment shop in the I.E. (socal)

    John Lemieux at All 4 Wheel Drive in Corona recommended a place in Temecula to me that does a lot of lifted trucks and RVs. I did my own rough alignment then brought my 2001 XJ to them (4.5" RE lift, Clayton long arms, Currie steering) a couple of years ago. They seemed very knowledgeable, and...

    Wheeled battery charger / jump starter

    You might want to have a look at Antigravity Batteries - Micro Start Jump starters. Pricey, but supposed to work well. I have one, but haven't needed to use it yet. Very small and light though. Much easier to carry than a spare battery, and as I've been stuck several times offroad with a...

    2001 XJ A Pillar Trim Removal

    Just removed my trim (2001 XJ). In addition to the clips on the A pillar, there are two on the trim piece over the rear hatch door. They were the first two I broke before I knew what they looked like. Afterwards I still managed to break all but 1/2 of 1 clip. I figure I'll try velcro tape...

    CA SMOG, HIGH NOx

    OK, there comes a time to wave the white flag. If the new O2 sensor doesn't do it, consider taking it somewhere really, really good. At he risk of sounding like an advertisement, I'll recommend the one my non-smog mechanic recommended to me for really tough problems. Mind I don't know the...

    Rainwater leak from cowl to carpet

    Certainly, but it wouldn't be rainwater. You can tell coolant, and it would only be on the passenger side. I had the heater core replaced when it leaked a couple of years ago by a dealer, which is when some other problems came up. If you do replace the heater (or pull the HVAC box for any...

    Rainwater leak from cowl to carpet

    I don't have a roof rack, so I'm at least spared that one leak source. Window is a possibility, but I actually think I've managed to get all my leaks stopped. It passes a hose test, and I'm just waiting for actual rain to be the final test. Southern California is in drought, but I'm hoping for...

    Rainwater leak from cowl to carpet

    Just a follow up - the OEM style zip ties that attach to the cowl are PN 21372 from Waytek (http://www.waytekwire.com/item/21372/FIR-TREE-MOUNT-50-LBS/). I didn't try the 21374 as the ones for thinner sheet metal fit just fine. FWIW the minimum order is 25, and there is a $5 surcharge for...

    Rainwater leak from cowl to carpet

    You didn't mention the pinch seam that runs all the way across the front of the cowl area on the engine side (second picture in http://www.naxja.org/forum/showthread.php?t=1073190&highlight=water+leak). I sealed mine on both sides, after cleaning with brake clean and some wipes - also some...

    Rainwater leak from cowl to carpet

    I think I finally have my leaks (five so far) identified, so it seems a good time for an wrap-up The first leak was the cowl air intake, and I approached it using the write-up at http://liftedtrucksusa.com/forum/cherokee-grand-comanche/1074-jeep-cheokee-xj-water-leak-fix.html. Once caveat - a...

    CA SMOG, HIGH NOx

    This sounds a lot like the last time I had to smog test. Failed with high NOx, but it was running well. Spent a lot of time and money at a gold star smog shop trying to find intake leaks, rebuilding the throttle body, etc. Basically he assumed the high NOx indicated a lean condition or bad...

    Super Gross (polluter) Smog

    You might check for a small exhaust leak (air gets sucked in) before the main cat. That's what my problem turned out to be. This doesn't seem to be listed as a possible cause as often as the other possible causes, but it should be a simple one to fix once discovered...

    Rainwater leak from cowl to carpet

    If anyone else is thinking of cutting into the cowl I might be able to save you a little time searching first. I found a couple of links with pictures: http://liftedtrucksusa.com/forum/cherokee-grand-comanche/1074-jeep-cheokee-xj-water-leak-fix.html and...
