My goal for this thread is compile ideas and document the upgrades/changes needed for the Jeep XJ platform to compete with more modern 4x4 options. Here's my "why" - feel free to jump to the good stuff(once it is there): Long story short - Financially, I can afford a new Jeep JL/Gladiator -...

My 99 is almost at 200k and I am wondering when people start seeing issues with their fuel injectors. This thing has been used hard and not maintained very well (previous owners) so I'm just trying avoid issues on long trips coming up. Does it make sense to pull the rail and check the spray...

This will be my XJ's first time out so I'll be taking it easy and checking the Jeep out as I go. 33s 4.10s long arms and LS in the rear. Will bring lunch and hang out a bit. Haven't been to Browns Camp before either. I'll be in the ugly gunmetal pearl 2 door. I don't foresee any big issues...

I am looking for a fabricator near the Portland Oregon area to build me a custom rear bumper. It'd be pretty straight forward, and I'd probably start them out with the builder brackets that go in the frame. Anyone know a guy? I'm open to experienced home-brew welders as well if they/you have...

Swapping out the ~7" I have on there now for a ~4" lift. Looking for front coil springs and f+r shocks. I prefer a softer spring rate. The 7" lift shocks and springs will be up for grabs when they get swapped.

This is just a feeler (and I can't post in the product development section) on how many people would be interested in a sleeping platform/storage kit for the back of the XJ. I design custom built-ins for homes and have a 5'x10' CNC router to play with. We have lots of material choices(mainly...

Any interest in a trail run somewhat near Portland? Maybe an easy/moderate trail run (shakedown run for me) and meet up at a brewery afterwards. I'd be open to something near the coast as well. Any ideas? -Thomas Sent from my LG-H910 using Tapatalk

I'm in the market for a new set of 33×12.5(or 10.5)×15 mud or aggressive all terrains. I'm finding a lot of new brands that have popped up with decent looking options at much cheaper prices. I'm not playing in the rocks much these days, but I want to be able to get through rocky sections if...

I have some 35×12.5x15 Maxxis Mud terrains on black steelies with probably 5-8k miles left on them. I'd really like to drop down to 33s and am looking for an evenish trade. You're tires would have a similar amount of life left, and I'm open to MT or AT. I'd also be open to throwing in money for...

Hey yall. Moved up here (Portland Area) last year and just got myself back into an XJ. Have had a few XJ's and Mj's and a ZJ over the years and was semi-active in the Sierra Chapter. Picked up a unicorn 99 2 door 5 speed in the blue/slate color. Was looking to see if anyone recognized it...

I am living in Chico these days while I finish up school and have seen first-hand the devastation this Campfire has done, and I assume most of you guys are being affected by the smoke. There are a bunch of local organizations helping evacuees at which I will be volunteering at this week, and...

Went to picknpull for some parts for my Vibe and saw a quite a few XJs. There's a set of 4.10 axles (d30 h.p. non-disco and D35). And there's a factory rear tire carrier on an 80's xj in decent shape. From an explorer there's a D4 axle code 8.8 rear axle (3.73s discs limited slip). Going back...

Yeah, I'm over my little 4 cylinder car. Looking for an MJ or 2 door XJ with a 5 speed. H.O. preferred but will consider renix Comanche. Basically just want to get back into a daily driver Jeep. I have my car up for trade/sell and have a couple interested buyers. I know a few of you guys have...

I've had a few XJs and MJs, and a ZJ but never owned a pre-smog Jeep. This thing popped up on craigslist about 30 minutes from me and I jumped on it (about a year ago now). It sat for around 15 years but ran and drove, somewhat. It has the 225 Dauntless v6, t86 3 speed, and d20 tcase. I have a...

What's up guys. I'm looking for a class 3 trailer hitch for my buddy's XJ. Doesn't need to be pretty, just functional. New ones go for around $100 on Amazon so I think he's looking to spend around $60-70 on the high end. I should be at Hollister Hills for the Toy run on the 18th and I'll be up...

Posting for my Boss. From CL ad. I can deliver to bay area when I go up there about once a month. Brand new still in original box. Ended up not using on our vehicle. Info on part below. Brand Derale Cooling Products Manufacturer's Part Number:13950 Part Type:Fluid Coolers with Fan Product...

I am currently running the 32x11.5x15 MTR Kevlars. They are obviously great tires off-road, but do run a bit stiff on road. I am looking to replace these tires with a 33x10.50x15 all-terrain tire. There aren't many choices out there but I'd like to get some real world input before I pull the...

I have 4 Rancho leaf clamps still in their packages that I don't need. $12 for all 4. These are a good thickness and have a Zinc? coating on them. Pick up only in SLO area or in Hollister.

Buddy of mine just picked up a low mile 98 XJ...from Chicago. The body is pretty cherry but there is quite a bust of rust underneath(luckily nothing structural) and most of his suspension components are pretty ugly. He is going to be keeping the jeep at stock height(maybe 2" down the road) and...

1.25 ruffstuff heims. Less than 1500 miles on them. They were frame end joints for my lower control arms. Ended up changing over to poly. They are in great shape and move freely. Only one light wheeling trip on them, no rocks. $20 each. Cheap ebay intake with expensive heat reflective tape on...
