This is on my 98 XJ, with rear disc brake hardware from a ZJ. Issue with driver side rear. Replaced a seized caliper today with a caliper from Napa. Installed the caliper and bled the brakes, but the brakes didn't "feel" right. Upon inspection, fluid was leaking from the threads of the bleeder...

98 XJ with about 145K. Kenwood KDC-X994 head unit has been in for 6 months with no problems, hooked up to two amps, one for highs, one for a sub. So I was driving back from D.C. to Richmond today, about a 2 hour trek, when I had all types of weird electrical problems going on. First, the radio...

This is gonna be a long post so bear with me. http://www.mountainoffroad.com/_e/Bumpers_Rock_Proof_/product/JRB600XJ/XJ_Rear_Bumper_1984_to_1996_Cherokee.htm I ordered this bumper back in April because they were having an EJS sale, and had to it shipped to Virginia while I was living in...

Scored a set of leather seats from a 97 ZJ for pretty cheap and decided to install them this weekend. Like any good forum member, I used the search option pretty extensively, but not any one single thread had all the information that I thought was needed for a complete, easy to follow write-up...

So I'm being relocated from Tacoma, WA to Washington D.C., and I depart next Friday. Since I don't know when I'll be driving my XJ back this way again I figure I'd get a day of wheeling in Moab in. My plan is to arrive Saturday night, find some type of lodging, and spend most of Sunday wheeling...

98 4.0L 135K. Two amps pushing about 860watts RMS. Today I installed a 165 amp alternator I picked up off of eBay. Battery cables are Jeepers Creepers and a 2ga alternator -> PDC cable with a 200amp inline fuse. Also installed a brand new Dayco serpentine belt a week ago. First impressions are...

98 4.0L with 135K. It seems once I get over 200mis on a tank the gauge drops past the E mark and the light turns on, even though I have fuel in the tank. Also if I hit some rough bumps/pot holes on the free way the motor will hesitate and if I have cruise on it'll turn off automatically. The...

This is on my 98 xj, approx 135k miles. Electrical "upgrades" include jeepers creepers battery cables, optima red top, arb headlamp harness, and a high powered stereo system with two amps. Problems began a few weeks ago when my xj had problems starting and wouldn't stay idling unless I gave it...

I already had some of the wiring laid down for my old system, such as the 4ga power cable, the 12ga sub cable, and the 16ga speaker cable. Here are my components and ratings: AMPS Alpine MRP-M500 Per channel into 2 ohms: 500W RMS x 1 Polk 500.4 90 watts RMS x 4 at 4 ohms (125 watts RMS x 4...

This past week I went all out with my XJ project: 5" RE Extreme Duty, 33 MT/Rs, 4.56 gears, SYE, etc etc. I also swapped in a Dana 44 from an 87 XJ, here's some background info: - Axle was 3.55 open diff, mileage unknown - Shafts were removed and inspected, good condition. New seals, bearings...

Just as the topic implies, I'm having a hell of a time getting those studs out of the frame rails where the crossmember bolts to. I've tried heat, double-nutting it, vice grips, tightening the nut to "break" the stud free, all with no avail. The threads on both studs are fubar now, and the...

Yes, I've already done quite a bit of searching. I have a 98 XJ, and I already performed the complete ZJ disc brake swap on my Chryco 8.25 a few years back, complete with longer e-brake cables and a ZJ proportioning valve. I'm throwing a Dana44 (from what I believe was an 87 XJ) under the rig...

3.55 gears open differential 31 spline axleshafts disc brake hardware A very popular swap for Jeep users, this unit came out of a 96 Explorer and has approximately 60K miles on it. I bought it 2 summers ago, in hopes of putting it under my XJ, but I decided to get a Dana 44 instead. Ring...

I am extremely impressed with the quality of this product! This is one of the only installs where everything bolted up perfectly, no grinding, drilling, or enlarging any holes. Took me and a friend no more than an hour to install. Check it out.

Planning on an all around brake upgrade soon, including ZJ discs on the rear and a ZJ proportioning valve. My question is as the subject states, has anyone evacuated the brake hydraulic system and refilled it with DOT 5? Was it worth it? Any differences? How was it done? I know it's not...

Last night I replaced the driverside axleshaft u-joint in my 98 XJ with a 760X unit. During the install, one of the bearing caps gave way, the end if it cracked and popped, the entire end of it sheared off! I was using a ball joint press and I wasn't putting that much pressure on it, I was...

98 XJ, 61K miles, 4.0L, AX-15, 2" BB with 30" MT/Rs, open diff(s). While fourwheeling I have a strange clunk coming from the front end. At first I thought it was my disco'd sway bar smacking my front hitch (sounds just like it), but it's not. Sometimes, it will be really bad, and gets worse the...

I'm running 30" MT/Rs on my 98 4.0 5 speed. I checked my speed with GPS, and it is off by approx 2MPH, but my dash speedo reads HIGHER than the GPS! So if the GPS says 45MPH, my dash speedo reads 47MPH. I've checked out the charts and everywhere I've read it says the dash speedo should be slower...
