1998 Jeep Cherokee 4.0, AW4, 242 with 190k. Just put a new transfer case in it. New brakes, sway bar links, oil pan gasket, timing cover gasket, valve cover gasket, plugs, cap/rotor, fan clutch, and more that I probably just don't remember. Body in decent shape, dent in drivers door and some...

Was doing wifes dd leafs, coils, shocks, tie rod ends etc yesterday and as every time I have done a set the leaf bolts were stubborn. Broke this thing out, hadn't used it much yet, and it worked so well. No broken bolts on a 93! So much better than a torch...

I have seen lots of people recently posting on electrical issues with the idea of I’m new at this or am I doing this right as far as how to test or how to use their meter. I teach automotive technology so I teach a fresh group all eight ASE areas including automotive electricity and electronics...

One of the other sites I frequent is expeditionportal. I see lots of Rovers and Land Cruisers set up for long distance South American trips but never a Jeep. I see no reason it couldn't if properly outfitted with the only hang-up being Land Cruiser parts are available throughout the world...

I am a mechanic, not a carpenter but in the near future I will be moving out of the shop I'm currently at and going back to school. This will necessitate the removal of my boxes, carts, engine stands, etc etc so now I'm in need of a garage/shop. Plenty of room on the property and no local...

Been lurking for several years now and hopefully becoming a paid member in the near future. Just wanting to know if there are any fellow XJ nuts running around the Salina, Kansas area. Seen several nice XJ's around.

Decided it's time to get a Wrangler or even a CJ7 for a little project. Wrangler wise looking at late 80's or early 90's. All the ones around here people want an arm and a leg for and I can't see paying that much for a project. Looking for a stock Jeep with a decent body and ideally a blown...

This March break me and the wife are staying near Harrison for about a week. We do this about a year but this is the first time I have been allowed to take the Jeep. :yelclap: Can anyone recommend some good milder trails in the area? I found the "Ozark Mountain Offroad Park" but there link is...

Bought my latest DD and first post-97 a 2000 Sport 4 door 4x4 and need a few things if anybody has any they are willing to sell. I need a good rear receiver hitch with nut strips and while you're under there any skid plates . I'm in central Kansas but of course any shipping is on me. Let me know.

Currently starting a restore on a 1973 Jeep J4800. Bought from original owner with all original paperwork. I have done J10/J20 series trucks and Wagoneers and didn't have a lot of trouble with their parts but I'm having trouble finding a good solid parts source for the 4000 series. Mainly...

Ok. I have searched and read a lot on the 3.0 mercedes diesel conversion. I have a motor (needs rebuilt) from previous projects. The engine to transmission adapters are economical and I can fab up anything else I need. Everyone says I will need atleast 4.5"s of lift to clear the oil pan. My...

I have for sale a 1989 Jeep Cherokee 4 door, 4.0, AW4, 231, Dana 30/35. Bought it with a blown motor and have to man projects to get this one done too. Decent interior but needs a cleaning up. Body has a few imperfections but decent. No rust underneath. Newer A/S tires. Head is off it and...

Ever since tech college the vast majority of my tools have been Mac with a few Snap-on thrown in for good measure. Also I don't want to hear about how awesome Snap-On is compared to Mac...don't believe it and don't want to hear it. However, we just started getting a Matco truck at the shop and...

I have been looking at axle upgrades for my 93 xj 5 speed/4.0 30/27 spline 8.25. I'm still running the stupid 3.07 gears and the point of the axle upgrade is the gears. the 97 on Grands came with 30/44 with 3.73's with rear discs but also rear coils. Does someone have a basic walk through of...

To start with I have never personally done an add a leaf lift but right now on my 93 XJ 4.0/AX-15/D30/8.25 I am running brand new (less than 10k on them) HD leafs. I want to go with the 3 inch AAL from Skyjacker with Nitro shocks. I know the argument against AAL lifts is that they sag over...

Just rebuilt my motor for my 350 SBC and getting all other details nailed down. Stock motor. Nothing major done to it other than a standard rebuild. My question is my other components. Keeping AX-15/231 but currently running 30/27 spline 8.25 with 3.07's. Wanting to keep it close to stock...

I know there are a lot of "build threads" out there but I decided to throw mine in there. To start with, living in Kansas I have no rocks to crawl really and other vehicles to do it with. No trails or any other real off road opportunities. The main focus of this Jeep is point A to B...

Going to be making a snorkel out of exhaust tubing. Weld it up nice and I figure it will look a lot better than PVC. My question is the only other one I have seen like this used 3" and said he had trouble packing air through it. Any ideas on what size would be optimal?

Just put new suspension in the Jeep. Carquest HD coils and Omix HD rear leafs with Gabriel Ultra Truck shocks all around. New sway bar links. Everything has been great the couple weeks since I put the suspension on however I went over a rough patch of rocky road today and now I have a clunking...

On my stock suspension 1993 I'm gonna need new tires before winter. The Goodyear's aren't worn out I just hate them with a passion. The debate is between the Firestone Destination AT and the Michelin LTX AT/2. I don't offroad with this Jeep. About as bad as it gets is Kansas winters with...
