Has anyone installed one? Experience? Just installed a Mean Green starter in my '99 XJ. It works fine, but no engagement! So I measured the starter and the bell housing cutout, and the teeth don't match up to the flywheel of my AW-4, they're 3/8" away! It's the right model number for my...

Any PA registered vehicle running ANY extended flairs in PA are currently breaking the law, and some have gotten pinched or failed inspections for it. PA Inspection code: 175.8 (6) (ii) v, states "Reject if: The fenders are not of a type, or size used as original equipment. (v) The fender...

Intermittant no start. Jump in and turn the key, nothing. Guages, etc coming up normal, but not so much as a click from the starter. Wait 5-10 seconds, try again. Usually starts cranking after about 3 or 4 tries. Engine turns over fine when it cranks. I'm thinking the NSS is gummed up...

I've got ZJ discs out back and the driver's side is getting real hot during city driving. Hot enough to burn your fingers on the lugnuts. Not hot after highway cruising at all. I haven't disabled proportioning yet, as I don't know if it will help. Any thoughts?

Subject says it all - RE appears to be selling the same rear steel brake line with their 3.5, 4.5, and 5.5 kits. I can slap an extension in or get a custom line made, but would like to have my ducks in line before I install the springs. I'm going from the 3.5 to 5.5 - anyone done this and run...

Anyone know if there's a caliper that's interchangible with the ZJ or CrownVic/Explorer 8.8 that has a mechanical e-brake? Would like to remove the e-brake shoes from my setup for a caddy-style ebrake caliper.

Changed the pitman arm out last night for a DPA, and noticed that there is a rubber bushing on the the box slides up and down slightly on the pitman shaft. In other words, when I got to it - the bushing had slid down the thicker splined portion of the shaft and was resting on top of the pitman...

Need some rear Sahara flares, damage free. Color doesn't matter.

For anyone running the Warn hub conversion up front - can you give me your tire size/lift/backspacing? I'm in the process of doing it, and can't figure out which backspacing to run for a 33x10.5 or possible 33x12.5. Heck, I may just hack up the fenders and go to a 35x12.5". Currently @ 5.5"...

Reposted in Tech - nothing for sale here. :dunce:

Definitely an acceleration vibe - Noticeable at 45-48mph, worrysome at 60 mph. Let off the gas and it rolls like it's on glass. Pinion is 1 degree low with 2-degree shims. The leaf packs are 18 months old or so with a decent amount of wheeling (and rust). '99 XJ 4.0 AW4 RE 3.5" SF w/ HD...

Old setup: RE3.5 w/AA HD SYE and 4* shims on a Chryco 8.25 axle. New Setup: Same as above plus 1.25" shackle and now it's a D44. Shaft angle is currently at 0* (Zero Degrees). I'm getting vibes at 45mph+ and am scratching my head trying to figure out how to lower the pinion a degree or two...

Are the lengths the same on these? Can I use TJ rear 44 shafts for spares in my XJ D44? Thx!

Hey all, I'm currently running the RE 6030 3.5" SF kit sitting at an even 4" all around. I'm thinking of going to 5" via boomerang shackle and spacer. Should I be considering UCA's to help w/ front pinion angle and handling issues? It is a DD and trail rig, so ride comfort is a consideration...

Hello all! I've been lurking for quite some time here, and wanted to say Hello! Also, I'm halfway through building an 8.8 for my XJ, and was wondering if I should expect any driveshaft length issues when I swap out my 8.25"? There's easily 1" of compression left in the shaft on level ground...
