I've got a seized-up 2000 XJ engine complete with intake & exhaust manifolds, coilpacks, wiring harness, and injector system. The motor has ~62Kmiles on it (I was nursing a head gasket leaK and it may of affected the bearings and seized it up). It didn't appear to throw a rod and I feel that it...

My rear output shaft seal on my T.W. SYE'd 242 TC finally blew-out on Friday. Been a s-l-o-w leak for last several months, then :puke: So I talk to Tom Wood and he says to use Permatex #1 on both seals (40mm x 65mm x 8mm) and let it set-up. I found a set of CR seals and proceded to R&R old...

I'm looking for a pair of Turbo LaBaron hood vents for my XJ. BLUTO :wave1:

I did a search for a post that I recently saw in one of the forums and couldn't find it. I'm considering the Smittybilt tubular steel "Eurorack". The ad says that it comes with hardware to mount to the OEM crossbars. I would prefer to mount to the OEM roofrack rails. The rack comes with a...

I'm looking for a decent set of adjustable LCA's and a decent supplier to buy them from. Which manufacturer should I go with and which reseller? Thanx, BLUTO

I recently took a 2001 service bulletin number to the dealer (relating to XJ wobbling when hitting a bump). Dealer told me that it was for new LCA's....I figured longer ones. This was independant of whether you lifted your vehicle or not. Dealer told me the price was aroun $100. I figured that...

I just got a decent set of used BFG MT's and was thinking of running them in the winter. I heard that siping can help with hardpack snow, ice, and wet handling. Any input? BLUTO :idea:

I just finished reading some threads about DW by doing a search. I probably don't have DW, but need to clarify. My 2000XJ has 3" med-duty OME lift with firm shocks and steering stabilizer, 31 x 10.5 tires on TJ Canyon rims, TW SYE and DS, stock tracbar, stock LCA's and UCA's....all other front &...

I have a 2000XJ 4.0L, AW4, 242.....I just changed gearing from 3.55 to 4.10's. One friend tells me to change the speedo gear in the TC to a 40 tooth unit. Another friend tells me that the speedo is computer controlled and you must "flash" the chassis ECU to effect the change. Who's right? BLUTO

I looked under the SEARCH option, but didn't get answer needed. I just got my 2000XJ back on the road (still working out a few bugs) after a TW SYE and 8.8 installation. Boy! That rear end is nice and quiet now...like the difference between riding on bushings VS roller bearings! :roll...

It appears that I'm a little shy on volume now that I've got my 8.8 axle w/rr discs on. I'm considering going to an E-350 MC, but not sure if it will bolt-up to my booster on my 2000XJ that was originally setup for ABS. Will it work? What year E350 MC shouldd I be looking at? (I already did a...

I did a search, but couldn't quite find what I needed for disconnecting & removing the ABS system on a 2000XJ. I looked over Haynes manual and my 2000 FSM. The 2000XJ is a different layout than the earlier (late 80's - early 90's units). The FSM didn't even go into hydraulic circuitry in much...

I'm looking to install a pre-97 spare carrier on my 2000 XJ. Before I start cutting holes in my Jeep, I wanted to get some feedback. 1) Do you feel that the factory carrier held-up for you? 2) Did anybody mount 31" tires on their mount and did it hold-up with that weight? Thanx, BLUTO

I was looking at Tirerack and Firestone Destination MT's came in at the top of their survey. I got a set of 16" rims and TrXus MT doesn't make a 16" tire that is 31" high. Anybody have any experience with this tire? I also considered BFG, but in the size I need, I don't want to run around on...

I was looking at RE adjustable LCA's. They had Superflex and Superride at $230 and $180 respectively. What is the difference? :confused: There wasn't anything in their ad to explain the difference. Are these a good deal OR are there better adj. LCA's out there? Thanx, BLUTO

For those of you who have installed an ARB snorkle AND have a 2nd battery up front.... What did you use for an air filter? I'm thinking that the 2nd battery will go where the stock air cleaner is now. Is there some "generic" watertight filter canister that will filter the air from the snorkle...

I'm considering the purchase of a winch-mount front bullbar for my 2000XJ. I have a 3" OME medium-duty lift (they call it HD and the next one up is "Expedition Duty") with OME "FIRM" shocks. Has anybody run the ARB bullbar with my suspension (or something similar). I call Rocky Mountain...

What kind of wear are you folks who are running TrXus MT's getting? 31 x 10.5 x 15" is what I'm looking to get. Thanx, BLUTO ;)

Just got my XJ back on the road after a month of downtime for mods. Added C-4x4 dbl-tube rock rails :thumbup: , ProComp 6" x 130W lights, rear taillight guards, and Hella fog/driving lights in place of the factory fogs. I drive the vehicle down 6 or 7 miles of dirt road to check out my new...

I bought a new engine skid (second-hand) from a local guy, but it had no directions. Does anyone have a pic of one installed on their vehicle? That sucker is a MONSTER :eek: You could probably shoot a RPG at it and it would deflect it! Thanks, BLUTO :)
