    Seattle area regear shop??

    I'm looking for a reputable & affordable place to have my XJ regeared. Anyone have any recommendations in the Seattle area & what did you pay? I live close to Northridge 4X4 in the Bremerton/Silverdale area & I got a quote from them. Just trying to compare prices. I don't know of anyone that's...

    Wheel Spacers - How much is too much?

    If i run 2" wheel spacers in the rear, am I in danger of shearing or breaking anything? Here's the deal... The wheel & tire setup i'm running gives me less than 1/16" of clearance between the rear leafs & the tire. I bought a cheap set of 1/4" spacers for like $8, but it still rubs under flex...

    Temp Gauge Spike?

    Hey Guys, I have a question about my temp. gauge. When starting from cold, as it warms up while driving, it slowly works its way up towards the 195 mark, then it will keep climbing up to about 220 - 225 for only a few seconds, then it suddenly drops way back down to about 130 until it reaches...

    Name that clunk?

    I've got a 91 XJ, 4.0, Auto. Installed is a Rusty's 4.5" short arm kit (with track bar), Rusty's steering stabalizer, spidertrax spacers & IRO Long SS brake lines, everything else is stock. I've been under the Jeep, checked & rechecked everything making sure all new parts are all torqued up. No...

    Question about Chrysler 8.25

    I've found a 8.25 out of a '94 XJ non-ABS so i'm assuming it's a 27 spline, 3.55 gears. Can this axle be upgraded to 29 or larger spline to accomodate a locker on 33's? I'm fairly new to the XJ's & i'm just doing my homework to make sure I don't end up buying a giant piece of scrap metal. I'm...

    Ford 8.8 or Chrysler 8.25?

    I searched & found some info, but not all of what i'm looking for. I'm currently running 33's on a Dana 35. I have yet to wheel it since the install of the tires. Right now I have both the Ford & Chrysler axles available at junk yards nearby. I'm hoping to pick one up as a spare for when my 35...

    Regearing a Dana 35?

    I have never messed with axles before, other than changing the diff. fluid. A friend of mine just toasted his rearend (simply by backing out of a parking space) and so we are looking at fixing it ourselves, but neither of us have any experience with this. He is hoping to take advantage of the...

    ABS bleed procedure?

    I have replaced the stock rubbers to long S/S lines. Now that I've bled the system, i'm not getting anymore bubbles & the brake pedal is firm, so I think i'm good there, but when I turn the ignition to "ON", the ABS booster pump just keeps running. I've read the manual which says to crack the...

    Yes another question about bleeding the brakes

    I am installing extedended SS brake lines, front & rear. I've only bled brakes on a 60's VW Bug before. Is there anything different that I should know before trying this? My XJ is equipped with ABS, is that going to change things? I've heard it's best to go in order of RR, LR, RF, LF. The way we...

    Sway bars or no sway bars

    I just finished my install of a Rusty's 4.5" lift & 33's. I didn't like how low the front sway bar was going to hang when using the drop brackets for the front bar & the rear I just simply couldn't re-install after the AAL's. The Jeep is NOT my DD. Anybody see any reason that I should need to...

    SYE kit?

    Noob here...... I have a '91 XJ with the AW-4 & NP242 case. I'm looking into getting an SYE kit now that i've ordered my 4.5" lift. I'm wondering if I should stick with my 242 & use the Hack n Tap or if I should swap it for a 231 & use the AA SYE kit? Which would be easier, cheaper & best...
