Pic for you. Didn't get around to painting it yet...love that fine rust patina! Jay

I agree that the motor is used, but it only had 50K on it. I would say that most people building a stroker generally start with an engine that has way over 100-150K (since the 4.0 generally lasts this long with no issues). As far as labor goes, I did all the work myself, therefore I had no...

Yeah, obviously with twin transfer cases it's meant more for crawing than hauling....you could just as easily put an AODE in there instead....

I can get some. Will probably be this weekend. I keep the jeep at my buddy's house. Jay

http://www.naxja.org/forum/showthread.php?t=61209&page=2 It's at the bottom of the page. I really attribute the cool running to the fan control, and the GoJeep fan mod I got from this site. Plus, I really don't think it's a secret, it just seems like sometimes there is a lot of, uh...

What's with all the stroker vendors going out of business? That sucks. Anyways, I keep hearing people say that V8 swaps cost too much, but I put a 5.0 in my XJ for less than $2000. I don't see a stroker competing with that. Plus, the 5.0 (and 350 chevy) is so readily supported by the...

I made my own fuel "safe" by cutting out the floor behind the rear seat and welding in a 3/16" box that is sized to the inside of the framerails. This was welded to the framerails so the bottom of the box was flush with the framerails. I then made another box that fit on top of the welded in...

I would vote for a V8 swap. And I HAVE done it. 5.0 in my 90XJ. Now, I will admit that the 5.0 is probably the EASIEST motor swap available, but here are the pluses: - cheap - runs cool (very important on an XJ) - small - lighter than the 4.0 - readily supported by the aftermarket - runs...

I will take fresh pictures tomorrow, so they show the vehicle in it's latest condition. There are older pictures of it (sans driveline) on This Thread Thanks, Jay

I have decided that I have too much money wrapped up in a single toy. I need to sell my jeep to fund a house build. I would prefer to sell complete, but I will part out, so you can ask for prices. I will ship anywhere via www.forwardair.com (except the complete truck). Here are the specs on...

I truly don't see the benefit of front leaves just to keep the D30. Like was said before, I went to front leaves in order to make my D60 swap easier. As far as steering goes, PSC makes a nice kit for the XJ: Makes it so nice not to have a drag link or a steering box or pitman arm, etc...

I'm definately interested. Need shipping info to 48144. 2 door XJ. Thanks, Jay

Yep, but it's pricey @ $700. For less money, you can bolt in a 203 doubler kit ($450 for the kit, $200 for a dodge 203) and be done. But, the 231 kit will give you a better low/low gear ratio of 7.12:1 as opposed to the 5.24:1 of the 203/D300. Lot's of gearing choices out there right now.... Jay

Thanks for the tips. I am actually running a 5.0, which I hear are supposed to be a little easier to keep cool than a SBC, so I'll keep my fingers crossed. If it turns out that I need some more cooling, I may PM you with some more specific questions. Thanks, Jay

My thoughts exactly...... Can fault the result though! It looks great! Jay

how much if you don't mind me asking? Jay

Ren, I'd really like to hear more about your Taurus radiator setup. I have a new 3 core and dual electric fans that I'm hoping will keep my V8 cool, but I want to have a backup plan! Thanks, Jay

I need tranny cooler lines for a 4.0. Thanks, Jay

I need the auxillary electric fan. You got one? Jay

Do you have the auxillary electric fan if it was a 4.0? Thanks, Jay
