I have a buddy that is going to sell his XJ due to having his family growing to large. It is an 01 with the miles around 85K. It is in good shape and has had no repairs, just replacment of wear and tear items like brakes and tires. Might be a ding or two and a spot of rust or two but nothing...

I am in the Western Suburbs of Chicago not far from Randy's (IntrepidXJ) house. I have a set of four Mickey Thompson Classic II wheels for sale. I have had them for 1.5 years for use with my daily driver tires, but they have only been on the road for about 9 months. They are 16x8 with the...

Gentlemen, I submit the following for your consideration. Not that NAXJA doesn't have enough forums already, but I think it would be a great idea to add a vendor feedback area. Call it Kudos & Krapola. Then threads that bash or rarely praise a vendor can be in an appropriate place and not...

I am ever so slowly finishing my WJ steering/braking upgrade and am still working on the trackbar angle. Right now with the steering wheel centered my draglink descends at 5 degrees. Currently my Trackbar appears to descend at roughly 4.5 degrees. I could further modify the trackbar axle...

This is going to be my first foray into heim joints. I have a few questions. 1) Is the joint supposed to be non-lubricated? I assume it should be left dry. I am in the Chicago area and see a fair amount of road salt in the winter. Plus when I wheel water and mud is usally unavoidable. 2)...

I have a used Teraflex Adjustable Trackbar that I just removed from my XJ. I bought it 5 years ago. I am now replacing it because I am going to a completely different front suspension. At first glance it looks to be in good shape. I replaced the axle side rubber bushing 9 months ago and it is...

I have a set of offroad only tires on AR767's 15x7, 4.5 BS (if my memory is right). I am still in the process of doing the conversion to WJ equipment so I can't just bolt things up right now. I have the later calipers which are larger than the earlier ones. I am not expecting to be lucky...

I have a set of used JKS Adjustable Bump Stops that I just removed from my XJ. I bought them 1 year ago. I am now replacing them because I am going to a completely different suspension setup that can't use them anymore. One puck is a little marred from getting a whooping from my bumpstop post...

I have a used set of OME Front Long Travel Shocks N35L that I just removed from my XJ. I bought them 2 years ago and they have worked out well. I am now replacing it because I am going to a completely different suspension setup that can't be used anymore. I have to still clean the grease off of...

I have a used JKS ACOS system that I just removed from my XJ. I bought it 2 years ago and it has worked out well. I am now replacing it because I am going to a completely different suspension setup that can't use it anymore. I have to still clean the grease off of it, but at first glance it...

I have a used set of front lower JKS BPE's that I just removed from my XJ. I bought them 6-7 years ago. I am now replacing them because I am going to a completely diferrent front suspension and they probably won't be able to be used (or at least I am 98% sure but I will know for sure in the...

I have a used Alumi-flex tie rod that I just removed from my XJ. It is for the factory inverted Y steering. I bought it 3-4 years ago and it has worked out well. I am now replacing it because I am going to a larger tie rod end and I am going to a cross over steering, which means it isn't long...

I am making my own Tie Rod/Drag Link/Track bar and need to know what to ask for material-wise from local metal shops. I am looking to buy DOM, but which should I ask for? ASTM 1020, 1026 or something else? Or does it matter only in size that is available? What size should I be looking for...

I apologize in advance if this isn't considered an advanced fabrication question. One of these days or more likely years I'll probably want to add an exoskeleton cage to my XJ as a safety measure for both me and my Jeep. In planning the process in my mind I am curious about a couple of...

I am in the process of procuring parts for my steering upgrade. I am constructing my own draglink and tie rod. I wouldn't mind using threaded tubing adapters as they SHOULD be easiest to complete the project. But I do worry a LITTLE ABOUT THEM. I am worried about slop in the threads of the...

I have a 98 XJ that I am looking to do the WJ knuckle/steering/brake upgrade to. I have killed way too much time searching this morning trying to find good posts that discuss this. Needless to say I haven't quite got all of the information I need so if you have any of the answers for what I am...

A buddy from another mailing list just had his XJ taken in the south of Chicago. Please feel free to move this post in a more appropriate spot. Here's his message: ============== Hello all Keep you eye out for my Jeep, or parts of it please. Thieves finally got it last nite. Front and rear...

I have a shock upgrade dilemna that I wanted to receive some feedback on. Here is a little background. I have a 98 that is sitting roughly 4.5" over stock. The suspension is a combination of OME springs/shocks and TeraFlex BB components minus swaybars front and rear. The roads in my area of...

I am just west of Chicago and I have a header down pipe, catalytic convertor and radiator from my 98 4.0L XJ for whomever wants to swing by and pick them up. Not really try to make a dollar, but trying to find these items a home other than the land fill, although any donation to my gas tank...
