A few years ago, I traded my rusty 00xj 4.0 aw4 for a just as rusty 89mj, 4.0 renix pugot ba5/10. On it was a set of micky thompson limited edition signiture series wheels. I buried them deep in the garage because they looked pretty good, and I wanted to run my steel wheels on 31s for the...

So, back story time. My brother helped his friend and rebuilt the 42re behind the 4.0 in his buddy’s zj. It’s a 95, rotten but it’s his buddy’s first vehicle. I was not involved in the rebuild. From the info he’s telling me, it sounds like it’s getting tied-up trying to get into 2nd. First...

Because I was in a hurry with my junkyard motor swap, I didn’t bother to replace the broken exauest until it has made itself a drivability issue. Now, it lets cold, unburnt air into the header and the ECU sees lean, so it fattens up, and fowls spark plugs. I got one head gasket, felpro 9076-pt1...

I have replaced everything in the front end except ball joints, track bar brackets and the axle itself. 2000 xj ,4.0, 2” puck lift. I have a few questions about the TB bracket. Are the holes here good? Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

Hoping to get some ideas. 2000 xj , had a stroker motor, ate a lifter and swapped a JY motor in. I fudged up the trans cooler lines and decided I’ll splurge. Got everything for about 100. Do to take QC fittings out of trans, back comes out fine. The front rounds. Shit. So I continue to get...

Supercharger, tornado maker, blower, call it what you want, I wanna do one. Since I do work in a machine shop I’ll make my own adapter or even a whole new manifold hopefully solving the issue of cutting the hood. I don’t want to do drop motor mounts or cross member drop bracket. I’ll be...

I work in a machine shop ( my fathers). We have the ability to turn/ sand and polish metal. Is there anything specific to grinding/turning the crank down? Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

So I decided to invest 250 bucks in a $h!t box dakota. 1994 with a blown up v6. The plus was I need a short little work truck to drive while I rebuild my stroker motor in my jeep. I grabbed a 200 dollar 318 off CL and started trying to make 1998 efi Work in 1994. Nope. Ended up killing my ecu...

God it’s a sickness when you get this much in a 4.0 Last build was awesome. Was a virgin block and head. Here’s the list of Work 258 crank with 242 rods Block was punched .060 over High flow oil pump Head was worked by a local guy. I forgot all that was done but know it was ported/polished...

So I’ve been in and out of the front end of this thing for months. It’s a 2000 xj classic aw4 with a 241 I believe also with a 2 inch lift and shocks. Shortly after the lift was done I was developing death wobble slowly. I ordered and installed a track bar first. No difference. Next I ordered...

So I came across a thread that there was a person offering a service of tuning 96-06 Chryslers including the jeep 4.0 using sct advanced III. Well I did a look up and on sct's site they don't list a 2000 jeep as comparable. They don't list jeep till 06. Need advice on this because I do have a...

Call me crazy but I'm adding a blower to my stroker 4.7 after the rebuild. I have the fuel dealt with. Still need spark timing sorted. It that's later. What I need help with is what ring end gap I'll need to sadly run about 8-10 lbs of boost. It's a 242 block, bored .060 over, 258 crank, cam...

I need to do the u-joints for the axle-shafts. Would the 1310s for the ds work there or is it a different joint? I'm ordering off rockauto and also doing ds joints, both axle joints, a track bar and a tail light because of my brother. ( long story ) if it is diffrent what's the cheap one? I...

I'm asking to compare my economy to others. I get 12 city if I drive nicely or 10 if I keep up with the flow. I can also get 16-18 highway winds depending. So what do you guys get? Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

Hers how it happened. Went wheeling ( I know I shouldn't wheel stock but it wasn't anything super fun. More of a mud bog. ) with my buddy's who had full size trucks that were also stock. We were havin fun when my buddy got stuck. So I hook up and pull him out then he wanted a tug of war so we...

So today I was driving to go help my dad at about 80-85 and the gauges stopped responding, the radio quit ( aftermarket head unit. Haven't had an issue yet with it) and the speedo is almost touching the trip-reset button. I tried the cluster test ( hold trip with key off. Turn key on and release...

Bolth axles have 3.55 gears. I'm swapping because I have the 44 laying around but it needs spring pirches and shock mounts and gone through. I can weld but need to buy/make the pitches and shock mounts. Already has drum break backplates and I hear I won't need another drive shaft ( from my...
