Time for my own cooling system question for my NAXJA brethren. My setup is new 185o F Tstat, new water pump, new stupid heater bypass valve, new CSF all metal 3 row rad, Hayden HD fan clutch, '96 oem electric fan, and a through the radiator temp switch that cycles the electric fan at 180o F...

So I went to the trouble to have West Coast differentials install 4.88 gears for me, and they howl like nobody's business. In all the gear sets I've installed, I've never had howling like this. Is that common for 4.88's in an 8.25" or what? Drove it 55 for 20 minutes, parked until cool. Then...

Hello, I have these 2 switch panels available, pre-wired with terminal blocks, switches and indicator lights. Some of the rigs I have seen here have a ton of accessory circuits, I thought a few of you might find these useful. They have handy mounting flanges too. Make Offer!

"Our Decisions Are Only As Good As The Information We Have To Work With!" Seems like there is always a way to add a couple gauges to our modded rigs, and often a need. I thought it would be interesting to post a thread with a poll on which ones you added, or would like to add. Pick yours and...

Hey Fellow NAXJA / Sierra folks, I'm finally getting my jeep put back together and have a good amount of stock stuff that just needs to go away. I hope some of you are in need it and it helps you out. I prefer to give the stuff to someone who Needs it, to help get their rig going again. If you...

Hi there, If anyone who has little experience breaking tires down by hand wants to give it a go or learn a little more. My wife snapped some pictures while I was mounting up mine and I thought I would share the process with you. After having great success with Counteract Balancing Beads, they...

Hello NAXJA folks, Well after a fruitless search here and the net, I am still at a loss for What Size and Type Tools I will need for an NP231 rebuild. I have a good selection of tools in my garage, but I have seen references to needing a 28mm deep socket, 10mm 12 point socket, oil seal puller...

Expedition XJ Build, Tech & Sources Thread Back when the XJ made its debut, magazine writers called it “revolutionary” and “surprisingly capable off the showroom”. With so many produced, it is one of the most economical and rewarding 4x4’s to mod for your chosen use. The “original SUV” makes...

Hey XJ folks, OK I'm ready to pull the trigger on a tire purchase, but before I did I thought I would get some final input from my fellows at NAXJA! Wheel: 15x8 with 3.75 backspace (recommended by lift kit mfr) Proposed Tire: 33x12.50-15" (suggested wheel MINIMUM width 8.5") I looked at...

Hello Sierra Chapter folks, my work is selling a 1992 XJ 2 door with 118,150 miles on the clock. It runs and is 95% straight. 4.0HO, AW4, ABS. Base trim I think. A little dirty but was maintained by our fleet mechanic so has had regular maintenance it's whole life and has never left the...

Hi there, Are there any NAXJA members in Lake County? I would like to meet fellow XJ peeps. If so it would be fun to meet and if you are doing some mods let me know, I'd be willing to lend a hand. Other than welding I can do pretty much anything else and have a good background of most mods.

Hello Naxja people, I have about completed my repairs and mods to the drivetrain and body of my XJ and am finally ready to purchase a lift kit for running 33's. I have the JCR front bumper and bushwhacker flat style fender flares. A 4-5" lift is what I'm after (my woods shaft and SYE are...

Hi XJ People! Happy 4th! Woohoo a day off! (What's that?) lol [sorry its the rum talking] OK so I asked in someone else's thread and searched a bit - I did not find the answer: What Coolant Do YOU Run and Why! My manual says the regular stuff, I used Prestone last. Water weteer is great for...

Hello XJ folks, I noticed my exhaust head-pipe was resting on the cross-member, so I gently jacked on the pipe/catalytic converter mount (tied to the transmission) and the trans comes right up off the cross-member and the rubber there looks all rotten. Well I did some looking around on the...

Hello Folks, Can someone direct me to a good online source for OEM Vacuum/line/parts/fittings? Such as, that bizarre hose/fitting on the back of the valve cover that drops a 1/2" breather tube down to like a 1/4" hard vacuum line going to the intake manifold (is that the PCV?). Also, I...

Alright let me preface this post with; I'm here to learn from the experiences of other members here, and document my own experiences for the benefit of others. Opening the TB Spacer "can of worms" could get ugly, but let's not let it. When I was road racing a Charger R/T, I cornered Air raid...

Alright fellow NAXJA people, I have made the rounds and searched, looked and considered. But I have yet to find the Just Right Bumpers for my XJ. In front; I would love a pair of lights, shackle pad eyes, and a brush/bull guard or Prerunner-ish hoop on front, and hopefully for a semi decent...

Hello XJ folk! This one I had to share; I daily drive my '91 XJ to work up a 16% grade and it gets hot here in the summer. Lately I've been a little concerned about my cooling efficiency. With a new electric fan temp switch and 180oF thermostat I was still getting up over 210oF - I needed...
