    Front seats from a 90 XJ to 87 XJ?

    Guys, I found a 90 XJ with excellent interior, console and overhead console. The shifter and 4wd look the same, just wondering if the front seats are the same mount as the 87 XJ? I am a few hundred miles from home, so didnt want to take the chance. One of the seat frames is broken so i cant...

    HELP!! Rustys off road 3" spring kit with stabilizer problem

    Got it in and back to Lincoln, Nebraska! Ended up: 1. Fabbing brackets to drop the sway bar down 3" and forward about 4" so the links cleared the coils. 2. Dropped the jeep to the ground and centered the axle with the track bar and sway bar disconnected, marked and drilled new tracbar mount...

    HELP!! Rustys off road 3" spring kit with stabilizer problem

    Yes, stock control arms as i was told a three inch lift "shouldn't" require longer... We are going to: 1. Remount/reenforce for the track bar bracket as a temp fix until i get a replacement. 2. Shim the front sway bar frame mounts to pull the links off the coils. 3. Hopefully get in for an...

    HELP!! Rustys off road 3" spring kit with stabilizer problem

    Thanks. I may just remove the sway bar to get the jeep back to Nebraska, about 275 miles from where i am at in MN now. Cant get through to Rustys now so im assuming they are closed for the holiday. I could probably pick up some discos here locally as there are a couple offroad shops around...

    brakes when cold or wet.

    You can also adjust the rears while in park by pulling the hand brake up and releasing it about 30-40 times. Dont yank on it like you would a breaker bar, but just go through the motions about that many times and it should do the trick. I usually do this about every 3 or 4 months and my jeep...

    Replacing outer CV shaft/ujoint.

    Ok, thanks. It came apart in about 20 minutes!! Thank goodness I replaced that sides bearing hub assembly a year or so ago and greased the contact points between the bearing assembly and the spindle!! The shaft came right out, ended up just replacing the bearing as Advance Auto's replacement cv...

    HELP 4.0 Engine Install (5-90, others)

    This is usally a simple task if the bolt patterns are the same. Are you sure the bolt pattern is the same?? Sounds like maybe a mismatch! Hate to state the obvious, but have you turned the crankshaft and tried a bolt in each position until it lines up? Cory

    The "Bucking" "Stumbling" Problem FIX!

    Hey, just a thought, but, a serious one at that! I fought this problem for almost 6 years and a few mechanics on my 87 XJ RENIX, 4.0, 4 door, 4x4. It took an engine rebuild (needed at about 250k anyways :D), many sensor replacements, some ground wire/bracketry work (much needed as well!), and...
