    Occasional starter fade, won't idle after start

    Hey guys, I have two symptoms that started occurring at the same time: 1. Starter won't crank the engine all the way over about half of the time. If I keep cranking the key, eventually it will turn the engine over and the jeep will start. 2. When the engine does start, it won't idle without...

    Middle exhaust hanger broken

    The middle exhaust hanger at the transmission mount ripped out of the exhaust pipe. This happened when the rear exhaust hanger failed in the middle of a long trip. Now it's rattling on the crossmember. Any idea what I can do to fix this without replacing the whole pipe? The crossmember is...

I took 8 vehicles through about 400 miles total with only one flat...

    Lower sway bar mount interference

    On my last trip to the mall I somehow got a rock smashed against my sway bar mount, bending it down and away from the center of the jeep. I smacked the mount back into place (sort of), but now it interferes with the tie rod end on the drag link at full lock. I can't get the bar back in to the...

    8000 lb. hand winch pulley come-a-long $15

    I used to keep this Harbor Freight hand winch under the back seat of my XJ in case I ever got in a real pinch. Bought it about a year ago, never had to use it. I've seen them used to get people out of ditches or bend parts back into shape on the trail. Don't need it anymore since I never get...

    One of them hybrid cage builds (lots of pics)

    Not just any fool can build a hybrid exo cage on his XJ, so I hired my friend Kalil to help me build one. He's new to Jeeps, but he's fabbed some really nice cages for his Ranger bros. Surely nothing can go wrong. This design is definitely a compromise between added passenger safety and...

    Down travel limited by axle-side track bar mount

    I have a craptacular Rough Country long arm kit and I just realized that my down travel in the front seems to be limited by the track bar hitting its axle side mount, rather than by binding in the radius arms. Is there a way to fix this without getting a new track bar with tighter angles?

    Tom Wood's driveshaft boot ripped

    This rubber boot on my new Tom Wood's drive shaft was not meant to be. It got ripped apart on a rock and then melted to my muffler. Can I just cut it off or do I need to get another one?

    CARB-compliant catalytic converters

    When I plug my 1998 4.0 XJ into Magnaflow's website, it shows a front and rear cat even though my Jeep only has one. FRONT Magnaflow 447104 Amazon $211.74 REAR Magnaflow 447206 Amazon $138.48 1998 seems to be a strange year for cats in the vendor catalogs. Which one do I need? I'd...
