Quick question - will a 93 4.0 longblock work in a 99 Grand Cherokee without fabrication?

I've had the RE Longarm on for awhile, set up for about 4.5" of lift. The initial setting for the LCA length was too short, and we adjusted it out once. But, now I've put new tires on, and it looks like I need to push the axle out a little further as the tire rubs on the backside of the...

Still Waters Ranch Llano TX, http://www.stillwatersranch.com/activities/ Austin Jeep Exclusive is able to host a number of "Open by Invitation" weekends at Still Waters next year. Here's what we have so far. $40 weekend/$25 day driver, $10 weekend/$5 day passenger. First Weekend is Jan 23...

I'm picking up a bunch of parts for free tomorrow from a buddy cleaning out his shop. He's got a tranny he "thinks" is a AX15, had it in back for 2 years . . . Is there a casting number or easy way to positively identify it?

The short story is: 91 4.0/AW4 runs hot (225 and slowly climbing) at idle or crawl on 100+ degree days. This last weekend was 103, crawling on granite (that felt 120) but, it does the same thing on the blacktop in heavy traffic at 6pm. . . At any other time, temps are 195-205. I can't find...

Planning on starting my cage build in about 10 days. I've got a buddy experienced in cage building who has all of the tools, just hasn't done a cherokee before. I've settled on the basic design, it'll be a hybrid = B-Hoop and back inside / A-Pillar outside. The plan is for a small halo at the...

I’ve ranted at a few people for asking if they can stack a 3” lift and a budget boost and get a 4.5” or 5” lift. Seems like the question comes up more frequently lately. When I made the decision to make the jump up from 3” I searched and read the FAQs – A LOT! – Money was tight, and in the...

Can't decide cage or roll bar I'm trying to decide what to do on this XJ, it's a well-built wheeler & DD (Long Arms, Rock sliders, D44, Detroit, etc on 32's) and I picked up a cage kit (D & C) for cheap. After test fitting the cage, it eats up a lot of interior space in the front of the cab...

I've replaced everything (and the radiator twice) in the last few years trying to track down why this jeep wants to run hot. It was giving me problems in the summer and going away in the winter but now on a 70 degree day, we put a scanner on it. It hit 220 at idle and climbing, and dropped...

OK, I picked up the cage locally from a guy who never got around to installing it, and spent some time reading everything I can find. I understand the “starter cage” concept, and the need to build onto it. It’s going into my daily driver, and I want to keep the backseat and interior...

Looking at one of the Rubicon 4-to-1 T-cases and wondering what it is worth? Looks to be in excellent shape with 70K on it. . .

Anyone doing it? I'm thinking I can regulate the tank at 90 PSI, plumb in some air valves and viola! I've got plenty of 20lb tanks but, I want something smaller - would a 20oz paint ball tank be a possibility and would it be enough to run dual lockers for a day?

I scored a deal on a 30-Spline ARB, it's overkill for what I'm running (31's) but, I need a selectable locker for this build and the price was right. Now, I need to think about axles. Obviously I will need 30-spline alloys for the inners but, 30-spline outers means new unit bearings (Right? Do...

Looking at regearing my latest project which is sporting a fresh 2.5 4cyl and 5 spd. OK, it's a TJ (I haven't gone to the dark side - it's for my wife. . .). Running 31" tires and stock gears (4.11) it's not too bad on the street, I threw a hard top on it last night and while I thought the...

Putting in a replacement 2.5 and planning to use Castrol until I switch to Synthetic. . . Wondering if anyone is using additives (GM EOS?) for Zn and P or using a specific oil for the break in period.

Not really an XJ question: Building up a little TJ for my wife, and about to order a 2" Rubicon Express budget boost. Anyone know how much of an improvement the Monotubes are over the standard RE shocks? I'm paying less than list so, I'd guess it's going to be around an extra $100. . .

I picked up a basic 93 2 door XJ - first time I've had one with a 2.5 In stock form, what is a realistic MPG to expect from an unmodified 4cyl / 5spd / 2wd XJ?

OK, I got the XJLA long arm upgrade and HD trackbar sitting in my garage and no time to install it. I've got a reputable shop I can have do it, anyone know the typical install time? Also wondering if I should order the trackbar brace and have that put in with the trackbar while it's up on the...

Looking at a longarm upgrade - I usually stick with RE stuff, I see a few "search about why people don't like Rubicon Express Long Arms" posts but searched every which way, and can't find anything. Planning on the 4.5" XJLA. . .
