    Installing a Libby Sky Slider roof in an XJ

    It wasn't easy, but the headliner is looking great with the rag top. I'm still itching from the fiberglass in it. I'm now modding up my speaker bar in the back to cover up the motors. All in all this is working out awesome. And the controls.. Top 2 switches are for the top. Left is...

    Installing a Libby Sky Slider roof in an XJ

    OK, I did 1 more minute of picture research... Should have headliner all in tomorrow, and electronics are buttoned up.

    Installing a Libby Sky Slider roof in an XJ

    Ummmm, I think it's quite obvious I'm totally incapable of posting pix here. Your options are; 1) Make a login at one of the other sites to see em. 2) Come over to my place and post them for me. 3) Convince mods to enable hosting pix w/o paying up. Thanks for your interest. In other news...

    Installing a Libby Sky Slider roof in an XJ

    This stupid pic posting, I hate it. OK you vultures, I'm on the fliky now. You can see them here.... http://www.flickr.com/photos/97610824@N08/ Yes, I know they don't show on the page. Best I can do with 1 minute of training. I'm not using relays for control, it only draws 2-4 amps. I put...

    Installing a Libby Sky Slider roof in an XJ

    Thanks! The x-braces are my one addition so far to put some structure back in. Well that and considerably beefing of the sills. I'm eventually adding some exterior tube work. Cross fingers I don't twist it all up before then. No real water test yet either but inspection did show at least one...

    Installing a Libby Sky Slider roof in an XJ

    So, I'm trying to get some pix up here but I'm failing and don't have time for it now. You just have to login on Expo to see em. I got the top out of a 2009 I think. It was from a pick and pull, found on car-parts.com for 700. I saw them listed on there for 700-1000, listed in the roof...

    Installing a Libby Sky Slider roof in an XJ

    Hey ya'll, I'm just gonna post a link to my thread on Expo Portal. I've installed a Liberty ragtop roof in my XJ and I'm loving it. It fits really well. If you're thinking you'd like open air feel, I would recommend it...

    More starting problems....

    Maybe the notorious crank position sensor (CPS)? I had similar but not as severe problems with my 96. I read up about how crank positions sensors (on the top of the bell housing, picks up off the flywheel) can be bad. I changed the CPS and the O2's and life was good. As far as I know, it...

    hot brakes, really hot on d side.

    I would say your drivers side caliper is sticking. I'm guessing it pulls left when you are off the brakes (driver brake dragging), you steer right to correct. When you hit the brakes, it pulls hard right? The driver cal is sticking which boils the brake fluid that side. Then when you hit the...

    Silver Lake Labor Day 04

    Sorry, can't tell you a whole lot other than val-du-lakes is likely not the choice for you. I wouldn't take my kids there, teen-20 something party crowd. I can say any of the grounds are driveable distance to the park aired down. There only like 5 mins away.

    STUUpid question

    I don't know, anybody try purgatory at Badlands on 33's? There was no way I was doing it. SWB's on 35's struggled enough to make that obvious to me. I figure I would need 36-37 to go for that. Just bringing this up in reference to the comment about right tire for the wheelbase. Has anybody...

    front sway bar...why?

    This is a little tough to explain but I'll try. There is a huge difference coil vs. leaf. Any given vehicle needs a level of 'Roll stiffness'. That just like spring rate but it's the torsional spring rate that resists the car rolling left or right. A leaf spring has a bunch of inherent roll...

    Rusty's Long Arm Rattle

    Well, I didn't have the long arms, just the regular length adjustables. Do the long arms have the same large acme thread with no lock nut? If so, yep that's definitely slop in the threads. I kept mine well greased and they were really clunky after 1.5 yr. I wouldn't recommend them to anyone...

    Silver Lake Labor Day 04

    Mostly you can expect sand. Lots of it...in big piles. It's fun runnin up and down the big dunes. There's a couple you can have a go at jumping if you're brave enough. Some of the funnest part is watching the super trick sand rails launch. There's also a great beach for laying out (for the...

    Just finished RE Super-Ride install. . .

    No offense to your ride there, looks great, but what is it about that pic that makes it look like a toy car? Weird Did my buddies 3.5 RE and they forgot to include any instructions. No big deal, we got er done in 6 hrs anyway.

    ford explorer 8.8

    I'm not real sure why it's like that, must be for packaging. It's not a real big deal. Mine tinks my exhaust pipe in compression (I never hear it but I see the witness marks). When I get my exhaust redone, I'll have em put in a different pipe that is moved over. It also contributes a very...

    Someone good to Install Gear&Locker in MI?

    Yeah, I know a guy but he likes to keep a low profile. I'll ask him if he would want to take the job. He did mine, very reasonable price. I know day in day out good shop is the ring and pinion place on walton at clintonville rd. Not very cheap but I hear they don't mess it up.

    rustys OTK steering or home made?

    M.O.R.E has also made a steering kit for the XJ. I don't have it but I seriously considered it. I generally here good things about the MORE products. You can see it at: http://www.mountainoffroad.com/ click Catalog and go to Steering Correction Kits. It's still not listed as a standard...
