    A/C Issue

    My 99 xj recently started chirping like a bird. Only does it when the A/C is on, and the vehicle is warmed up. It doesn't do it much at idle, but past 1500 rpm. It does it on and off going down the highway, I'm assuming that's the compressor clutch engaging and disengaging. I am A/C stupid, so...

    Want Opinion on Axle Locker Combination

    I also believe that your easiest and cheapest option would be to go with the 8.25. In my opinion it isn't even worth sinking money into the turdy five. I have never run one myself, but have helped buddy's that have destroyed a few. These were fairly stock rigs, used in very modest conditions...

    What Is The Most Badass Steering Stabilizer For An Unlifted XJ (A Deat Wobble Story)?

    Although I agree that the steering stabilizer is not the root of your problem. It seems that you have your mind made up. So I will simply recommend Monroe part number sc2928. I wouldn't waste my money on a Super special stabilizer filled with unicorn urine for longevity. If that Monroe unit...

    Steering Stabilizer - Which style/brand to go with?

    I would not waste the time and money on a dual stabilizer setup, if one is needed it is only to mask issues that need correcting. If you are having problems with your steering, a stabilizer is not the answer. I however would not say that you don't need one. The stabilizer is there to supplement...

    Suggestions on alternative oil filter mounting

    That's exactly the kind of thing I was looking for Cal. I'm glad you posted before I got around to doing the block mount. That setup looks awesome, I also appreciate that you have all of the part numbers listed. It makes my decision too easy, thank you.

    8.8 vs 8.25

    The 8.8 is the superior axle, hands down. A built 8.8 can take tons of abuse. The 8.8 has two weaknesses from the factory, the factory carrier ( which your ARB will be addressing ) and the c-clips ( I used the Yukon ultimate 88 kit to address this and upgrade to chromo shafts ). If you address...

    Suggestions on alternative oil filter mounting

    I personally have decided not to just change the O-rings again as this is a reoccuring issue and I want a longer term solution. I agree that good motor mounts are key to eliminate the filter shifting into the bracket. I believe the brown dog mounts to be some of the best availible, so Im not too...

    Suggestions on alternative oil filter mounting

    I have also used one of the amsoil kits, but on a gm 5.7 . Although I am a huge fan of amsoil fluids, I did not like the slight drop in oil pressure the dual filter setup presented. The remote kits I am considering are the offerings from Jegs and Summit, I will look into a single filter remote...

    Suggestions on alternative oil filter mounting

    I have searched the topic and not found the information I was looking for. I am looking to eliminate the factory oil filter adapter in favor of something not so prone to leaking. I have seen on another fourm where someone mounted an alternative filter directly to the block. If anyone has done...

    Axle help. (pic)

    Wow. $2900 is insane. I bought and built an 8.8 with air lockers, truss, disc brakes, c-clip eliminators, chromo shafts, and 4.88s for less than that. In my area you can go to the pull a part yards and get an entire rear end for $100, thats what I did for the 8.8. If you just want back on the...

    Anyone used Rocky road outfitter cad

    Lazyxj I dont see how I have my facts mixed up ??? I just gave my opinion, and stated that getting all the instructions together and making an informed decision is best. In my OPINION better designed kits have a brace just for the MJ uni, but my opinion is just that an opinion. I am in no way...

    Anyone used Rocky road outfitter cad

    Because the rubicon express DB is not essentially the same thing. They use totally different methods of mounting the UCA. I personally much prefer the RRO. Im not too high on rubicon express quality, or marketing decisions either ( they shouldnt sell that DB without the brace, its asking to have...

    Anyone used Rocky road outfitter cad

    I run the RRO drop brackets. I peronally found their design superior to all drop brackets that I could find. Their customer service is crap, and I wouldnt believe the BS they put on thier site about all of their products being Gods gift to the wheeling world. I did order and return the Rough...

    Shop in Louisiana to do SYE install

    I did find a reputable transmission shop to do the install for $250. However they are only installing the aa kit. I have removed the stock drive shaft, and purchased a stock front shaft from a 95 auto to hold me over until I decide on a proper shaft. I appreciate the responses, and do realize...

    Shop in Louisiana to do SYE install

    Hello all, I am looking for a shop to do a sye install on a 99 xj. I bought the Jeep with 5.5" of lift installed, it had no tcase drop or adjustment of pinion angle to compensate for the lift. Needless to say it has some vibes, so I purchased the advance adaptors sye kit. I know that the general...
