So my issue with my xj pulling to the right as I drive has been well documented. I've replaced/ tried all the usual things, but nothing has worked. But, that's not exactly why I'm posting today. What I am posting about is the "loose" steering I have. I have a 3" lift with stock uppers and...

I have a set of mid stiffeners that I've primed (weld through) that I'm not going to install. Not sure if this is the right place or not, but they're for sale. They go for $130 new. Make an offer :)

So a long time ago I pulled the ABS relay from the PDC under the hood. Apparently there is a fuse in the fuse box as well...is that correct? I was looking at a diagram of 98 XJs fuse blocks (inside cab) and found this: Fuse #25 shift lock solenoid, a/c heater control, abs controller, abs...

Over the past several months, I've been having steering issues (wander, understeer, pulls to the right) with my xj, which is chronicled here. I have had the xj about a year now and still havent figured it out. I am seriously on the verge of selling this thing because Im just tired of messing...

I'm getting ready to purchase middle stiffeners from HD. I want to make sure that I have my prep right, so when I grind down the undercoating (bare metal) for the rosette welds, do I use weld through primer?

Does anyone have a contact number for him? He's building a rack for me (going into my 10th week of waiting), but communication has ceased and I'd like to see what's going on. Thanks!

I'm looking to add some lights to my safari basket. I'm going to go with Engo LEDs. I have an engo winch and its been great, so I'm going to give their lights a try. However, I'm unsure which lights to go with. Here are the options: 18w: 15 degree spot, 1500 lumens 24w: 15 degree spot or 60...

Ok, so here's the deal. I sold a clockspring on ebay that I didn't need. I had pulled it from an xj and tested it for continuity and also popped it open to see that the ribbon was still connected. Both gave me positive results. I didnt install the c/s on my xj to "test it" otherwise. I...

So Im getting ready to order some sliders for the jeep. I havent decided on which "stage" slider yet, but I know Im going to order JCR. They have 3 different stages (here). What all do you suggest there? I was thinking of just going with stage 1 to keep the neat and clean lines of the xj...

Ok so I decided to add cruise to my xj. After reading a few write ups, off to the junkyard I went. I found a 1997 model (mines a 98) that had cruise and had all the parts I needed: clockspring, actuator w/cable, and steering wheel switches. So I pulled them and installed them today. End result...

So Im looking to put a rack on my jeep. Ive seen several different dimensions, so whats the best one to go with? From the following: 42"(w)x52"(l) 52"x50" 52"x60" 52"x74" I am building my xj to be more overland than rock crawling, though I will be using it on trails. I plan to store quite a...

So Im thinking of selling my Dunlop MTs with TJ rims. Theres probably 70-75%ish worth of tread left. The rims are fine, but I have a different set Im looking to put on my XJ. Nothing wrong with the tires per se, just want something less aggressive. Anybody have a good idea of what I should...

Since warmer weather is around the corner, I'm thinking about painting my XJ. I'm trying to decide: should I go with traditional paint (2 stage) or should I hard line (monsta, raptor, etc)? What are the pluses and minuses to each? My jeep is more overland than trails, but I do plan to hit my...

Hey all, I replaced my clockspring today from a junked 99 (mines a 98). My airbag light went off and my horn started working again...score! But, I lost my turn signals and flashers when I did this. Did I not recenter my clockspring correctly or what? I noticed when I test drove it, when I...

I am looking to add frame stiffeners to my rig. Its looking like I am going to order a set from HD, but I was wondering if I should order just the Middle ones (Extend from the LCA mount to the to the front of the rear spring hanger) or do I need to purchase the entire set (front, middle, and...

Hey All, So I'm starting to research lockers for my XJ. I have read many threads on the "never ending which is better: front or rear" debate and am no closer to making a decision. So...I turn to you. My XJ is a 4.0, NP231, AW4 trans. It has 3.55 gears (and I dont plan to regear in the...

While researching the ZJ tie rod swap, I came across a curious question that I cant seem to find the answer to. Why do a lot of people not do the drag link when they do the swap? Looking at Moog part #'s, I see that the drag link for the xj is a different part number than for zj. Are they in...

Hey all, Doing a little research and cant find the answer to my question, which is: Are front axle housings interchangeable between ABS and non-ABS models? I ask because I may have bent axle housing. If this is the case, Ill have to find an entire assembly at the JY. My XJ had ABS, but the...

Hey all, Ive been looking for some air options. Since running OBA isnt in my wheelhouse (now or probably ever), Ive been looking into CO2 / Nitrogen for my tires while offroading. Obviously, this would be used to repair flats and air up at the end of the day. The one thing I have not found is...

Ok, so Im still in the process of straightening out the issues that came with my XJ. I got a good deal on it when I bought it, but Im having issues with the steering. This is what Ive done so far: 3" lift (Zone- new coils, shocks, and leafs) LCAs (Fat Bob's for 3" lifted XJs) Quick Discos (RC-...
