    RCV axle shafts with 30spline inner&outer?

    I wasn´t able to find that on their homepage so I´m asking here: I´m looking to upgrade my Dana 30 (it´s a HP from a TJ since my ´00 came with a LP) and I had the idea to use the RCV axles, an 30spline ARB locker, 30spline bearing units and therefore inner and outer 30spline RCV axles...

    Difference between a 00 XJ engine and a 01 TJ engine

    Last year we built a new (to me) 2000 XJ as a trail rig for me - 6", 33" tires, Ford 8.8 locked, yadda yadda... a mild rig for travelling in Europe. On the first day of our annual trip to the alps the engine (about 110000 miles) overheated badly and called it a day. This was in September. The...

    WJ brake swap - what did you do to your ABS?

    Guys, I´ve sourced all the parts for a WJ brake swap - but now I have to think about the ABS system. Please don´t let us discuss whether ABS is needed or not - if a vehicle comes ABS equipped from the factory than the ABS HAS to work to pass technical inspection in Germany to stay street legal...

    Sylvania 3157AST discontinued? Where to buy?

    Guys, Sylvania used to make silver coloured bulbs which can be used in clear side markers and they were flashing amber. They were called Silverstar 3157AST. They seem to be discontinued. Only "O´Donnel Autoparts" is selling them at Ebay for 40 bucks a pair - quite steep for a set of signal...

    Adapter for steering wheel controls?

    I´m in the process of buying (read: saving for) a 2000/2001 XJ after totalling my ´90 trail rig. It has the controls for the radio/cd player at the steering wheel, right? Are there any adapters to control a headunit from Alpine, Pioneer, Kenwood? If so, where I can find something like that for...

    241OR from a JK - just swapping in?

    I plan on buying a 2000 or 2001 Cherokee as a replacement for my totalled ´90 XJ. I´ve got a 241 transfercase from a 2007 JK sitting in the basement which I didn´t install in the ´90 due to the 21spline output shaft of the "NonHO"-AW4 and the mechanical speedometer. Now if buying a 2000/2001...

    Currie vs. Dynatrac

    After having canceled my „Project XJK“ (JK D44s, wheels and 241 into my XJ) I´ll be buying a D44 front axle. I don´t want to cut axle tubes to narrow it, I don´t want to search the junk yards (there are almost no american cars on our junk yards in Germany), I just want to buy a D44 front axle...

    I plan to swap a 241or transfer case in my ´90 XJ. The XJ has a mechanical driven speedometer, whereas the 241 give an electronic impulse instead of a mechanical signal. In the current issue of JP magazin I found an article about the Cable X adapter, see...

    241OR tranny in a ´90 Renix XJ

    I´ve bought a 241OR tranny out of a 2007 JK Rubicon for quite a good price. Now that I´ve finished staring at it with a beer in my hand I´d like to put it in my trail rig, that´s a 1990 Cherokee. It has a 21spline AW4 transmission, so I have to swap it for a 1991-or-later AW4 w/ 23splines. Any...

    AW4: Converting to 23 spline

    I have to convert my AW4 in my 1990 trail XJ from 21 to 23 spline because I´ve stumbled upon a cheap 4:1 Rocktrack 241OP. Is there an easy way to convert my AW4 to the 23 spline output shaft of the 1991+ AW4 or can I just swap in an AW4 from a 1991+ XJ ? I can get a newer AW4 for cheap but I´m...

    AW4: from 21 to 23 spline - what is involved?

    What would be necessary to change the AW4 in my 1990 XJ from 21 spline to a 23 spline output shaft? Do I have to buy new parts? If so, are there any differences in the model years? TIA!

    Disadvantages of a TJ D44 front?

    My XJ is sitting on 35" tires, no plans to make it bigger. I´ve got a Ford 8.8 in the rear, so I think this should be OK. I´ve got an trussed D30 (open) in the the front and don´t feel to comfortable about that. I´ve got an offer for a TJ Dana44 front axle for an reasonable price and I´m unsure...
