All, I wanted a CB solution to use on the trail. It had to be cheap, provide enough range to for trail use of up to 10 vehicles spread out, and be portable. I spent less than $45 and have a working system. I bought the cheapest CB from Walmart ($35) and then picked up their magnet mount...

I have a 98 XJ w/8.25 rear. I just put on a 4.5" RE lift w 4* shims on rear springs. I'm also running a No-Slip locker in the 8.25. I know that the shims tilted my pinion angle up. I had just filled the diff with fluid before the install and I was slowing leaking fluid ever since. I...

Hi All, About 2 weeks ago I replaced my stock Speedo pinion drive with a 34 tooth. I have a 98 XJ and I just moved to a RE 4.5" lift and 31x1050 tires. I just noticed tonight that my speedo stops working when I make hard turns. It stops moving and then catches up in a few seconds (it's...

I have a 98 XJ with HP D30 and the 8.25 axles and I just installed a RE 4.5" Superflex kit w/OME shocks. My XJ is now visably 1-2" taller on the drivers side. Any ideas as to what could be causing this? It is visable front and back. I first noticed it after I finished off roading it...

I've got a 98 XJ with 8.25 axle. I am putting on a 4.5" RE lift with OME shocks. When was attempting to take the old shock off the lower mount broke. The threads broke off (just the threaded part) of the lower shock mount on the axles (passenger side). What are my options? Thanks, Rough

The kit just arrived this afternoon and I started the install. I was little hung up installing the rear brake line but it was just a matter of time before the damn hard line lined up (near the frame). I have to go get an 11/16's deep socket for the rear springs and some brake fluid and...

I just installed a 34 tooth "pinion speedo drive" Friday. I just noticed tonight there is tranny fluid everywhere and it appears to be coming from that unit. I followed the instructions on [html]http://go.jeep-xj.info/HowtoSpeedoGears.htm[\html] I plan on pulling it out tomorrow morning and...

I have the front coils, rear spring packs, and shocks from a 2000 XJ. They have about 50K miles on them and give about 1.5-1.75" lift from stock. I just want to get them out of my garage. I will take $200 for them all and buyer pays shipping or can come pick them up. PM me if interested...

I've been researching and saving for a couple years and now I'm going to make the purchase Monday morning. I would like to ask those of you who have done this before to check my logic and make sure I haven't left anything out. Here's my list: RE 6130 4.5 Super-Flex Kit (Replace Fixed CAs with...

Quick question, I have a 98 Sport, auto and the button on the end of the emergency brake broke off this morning. It was kind of funny since it made a loud popping sound and then went flying around the cab. My question is can I go buy the button and push it back in or do I need a whole new lever.

The time is finally here. I'm going to do a major lift to my Jeep in a couple of months and I would like some advice. I'm looking to use the vehicle as a dd and it will only see about 40% off road action. I want something with spring rates similar to the up-country springs I'm currently...

Who makes the best aftermarket cross drilled rotors and pads? Brembo? I'm going to be replacing mine soon. Thanks,

Hi All, I just recently asked about putting on a budget boost lift on my 98 XJ. I took it out today (just up country package w/no budget boost) and got majorly stuck in mud. All I have to say is: mud is very sticky, hi-lift+sticky mud=pain in a$$. I was lucky I had a cell phone to...

Hi All, I really want to get into fabbing my own XJ stuff (roof rack, bumpers, etc) but never learned to weld. I'm in Northern VA and was wondering if anyone knows a good place to look for a class or something. Thanks

Hi all, Little history. I've upgraded my stock 98 XJ with an upcountry suspension about a year ago. My buddy was going to a 3" lift and gave me his old stuff in return for helping put his new lift on. Now here's the dilemma. The shocks are now gone and since I have to replace them...
