    17" big brake upgrade for XJ?

    I looked into the wilwood setup a while back the issue is making sure you have the right knuckles to make it work. I did not and finding them at the time I was doing it was almost impossible. I ended up going through a friend that had designed a kit to work a while back and I just had to piece...

    Ceramic coated header and intake

    I did it for the thermal protection. I had a local company do it for me so I couldn't tell you what product they used. As far as how much difference it made internally I've never checked since I just recently got it running. It was expensive having them do it compared to just powder coating...

    Ceramic coated header and intake

    I had my intake ceramic coated and the only thing I wish I had done was taken out the pressed in vacuum stub out of the backside and tapped them for npt before I had installed it

    242 w/ sye or 231w/ sye

    I have the 242 and never had an issue with it both in dirt and ice. I agree the 231 has more options and the sye is cheaper but I went with tom woods kit which at the time was 500 for the kit including the drive shaft. replacing the shift linkage is a must though for the 4wd shifter. I finally...

    Renix leaky stainless steel lines.

    I agree with the use of the AN fittings. Used the Russell brand products myself and they were easy to use. The issue I had is the stock fuel lines on my renix are metric so I used a compression fitting on them to adapt to AN. I think I used 45 degree fittings but I also have the 99-01 intake...

    Swapping out to Led's?

    cany help you on bulb count but I do have experience with doing the LED swap in my renix. I just got a random selection from local autoparts stores. I did notice a difference in brightness going from the standard to LED but the issue I had was inconsistency of the color itself. I see it a lot in...

    VANCO Big Brakes and U Turn steering

    im not saying the wilwoods are superior in any way. I figured since i had a friend that desined the bracket i would give it a whirl. The only way to see is like Vince said and put them side by side. Just putting my .02 cents in about what im trying. i could have just wasted my money and would...

    VANCO Big Brakes and U Turn steering

    i was originally in the same boat but a fabricator buddy of mine had desined a set up that only requires you to modify your existing knuckle and uses the 3 bolts that hold the unit bearing on. I just got the brackets the other day and just got back into town so i will be messing with them...

    for the price of that kit why not just do wilwoods and get 4 piston calipers?
