Yea I know. Not XJ related, but you guys are the only knowledgeable guys on the Intarnet. If it helps, I also have a bunch of 5.3 swapped XJ's with 4l60e's so this is SORT OF applicable. Had a 4l60e rebuilt by a local shop. I NEVER pay someone to do anything, because it always ends up being...

Does anyone know of an aftermarket gauge that is compatible with the stock 98 XJ fuel sender? I've done a bunch of LS swaps now, but as most were for myself or fellow hackers, I've never really bothered with getting the stock cluster to work. I just use OBD data for everything except fuel...

Yea, it's not an XJ. Whatever. Naxja has the best community of technically minded wheelers and I figure here is going to land the best input. So build info I'll try to keep short. I took a 95 runner, chopped the front of the frame off and rebuilt it to accomodate a 5.3L mounted super low (oil...

Before everyone jumps to "have you tried *obvious answer here*", yes, I have. A buddy picked up an 86 XJ with an old carbed chev 4.3. We've got everything else working pretty tip top, but brakes are ****ing eluding me. He had another of his buddies bleed the system. They found lots of air but...

Hey guys. Been a while since I've been on here. Just not much left for Jeep questions as my little XJ has been doing whatever I point it at. Current setup is a 98 XJ, 5.3L/4l65e/hybrid np231/241 c/j on "built" 30/44 and 35's. It's fully plated and braced to the tune of around 5000lbs and as it...

Hey guys. So I've owned a lot of XJ's, and I know they got heavier several times, mainly for NVH and safety ratings, but I can't find a definitive list of curb weights for stock XJ's throughout the years. I need to know fairly accurately, what years got heavier, and WHY. I know in 94+ they...

Ordered a winch line from them over a month ago. They kept saying it'll ship in a few days, then a few more days, then no response for a few weeks, and last I heard (last week) the rope was drying on a rack and would be shipped out that day and I'd receive a tracking number. A week later, still...

98XJ, 5.3/4l65e, 6.5", long arm (radius), 63" rear leaf, 1 ton x-over, WJ knuckles, 1.5" ram, 35x10.5 KM2 . Been chasing this left pull for goddamn years now. It's survived several complete rebuilds, but I think I may be honing in on it now. I used to think it was just a little bit of torque...

98xj, 5.3L, WJ knuckles, 1 ton steering, driving 35's. Only reason I'm doing a ram is because I keep blowing up sector shaft bearings and seals. I picked up all the metal to build a brace but then everyone recommended just doing hydro assist as it should solve my original problem, plus give me...

2000xj alt I believe is dying. I've got a whole whack of 98 alts laying around. 2000 uses a plug connector while 98 had a bolt on. Does anyone know if the voltage regulators are built into both alts? Could I just either swap plug/connectors and expect it to work?

Finally got everything pretty much where I want it on my Jeep other than the last gremlin causing a front end clunk, and figure it's time to build a sector shaft brace. As I've gone through a few steering boxes (sector shaft seals and bearings), I suppose it's possible (however unlikely) that my...

98 XJ, wj knuckles, 1 ton x-over, RC long arms Been chasing a clunk in the front end on/off for years unsuccessfully. Everything in the front end has been replaced several times over the years. Problem remains. All the TRE's are solid, steering box tight, track bar tight, new SKF unis just...

Stretching out the rear wells in my 98xj. I had the shocks through the floor to a tube mounted behind the back seat, but the wells were just too small for 35's, and I'm sure I'll end up on 37's and coilovers eventually, so I started chopping. I'm about 3/4 the way done now, and realizing that...

The girls Jeep has had some issues staying running for a while but I just haven't had a lot of time to investigate. The past few times it's happened, I've usually just gone out and messed around with battery connections and the problem goes away, but I'm not sure if that's coincidence. Usually...

I wouldn't normally ask this, and instead would just go tear it all apart again, but I'm real pressed for time and need to be back on the road in a few hours, so hoping someone has the actual answer. My D44 (xj rear) has KJ discs. Setups has worked fine for years. I swapped to some chromoly...

I've got an XJ 44 with 03 KJ discs on the back of my roughly 5000lbs (loaded) XJ on 35's. I'm pretty hard on my brakes, but the life I've been getting out of the rear pads seems a bit ridiculous and I'm trying to figure out if my rotors are to blame (wrecker rotors), or if this is just normal...

Girls XJ is a 2000 with a 98 block/head and 2000 intake. Has been running fine for a few months. Was driving around town yesterday and says the Jeep started stumbling and eventually stalling. I checked today. Runs fine cold, but once it warms up it starts stumbling and stalls. Pull the CTS, and...

2000 xj. Threw in my 98 long block (cause blown 0331 head). All fan settings work correctly, but not getting much in the way of heat. When set to cold, the vents blow MUCH harder than when set to heat. On max heat setting, on defrost, you can barely feel any air coming out the side window vents...

Anyone have experience with the Hutchinson/Rockmonster double beadlocks? I've been smashing the hell out of my soft8's and keep waffling over whether to rock ring them (inside and out), or just grab a set of beefier wheels. Given my soft8's are smashed pretty good, I feel like it'd be a waste of...

This is not at all a build thread, just information and ideal gathering. After 25 years of accident free driving, my room mate rear ended my XJ on Saturday. The spare carrier popped the hatch, and while there's no uni-damage, finding a hatch locally is sorta stupid. There's a Jeep wrecker that...
