    30K AW4 Simple Question Drain vs. Drop vs. Flush

    I did search and read up, just looking for new opinions. Anyway I got an 01 with 26K miles on it in Feb. I just hit 30K miles. I drained and refilled the transfer case with ATF +3. I pulled the plug and refilled the AW4 with Dex III. How "good" and "safe" are those auto tranny flushing...

    Fiberglass Fenders (Front) on later model XJs. Questions.

    I have been reading a few threads about fenders (search results) and found a few mentions of fiberglass fenders. There was some good info in there, but I can't find a vendor who makes them for an 01 XJ. There was a bit of discussion on how to mod the 96 and earlier glass fender to fit an 01...

    dumb mod tech q' of the week, adding spare into rotation?

    ok I'm thinking I should rotate my tires every 3K or so. They are BFG MTs at 32". When they wear out, I will probably go to 33" tires, unless I lock my front d35. I have 5 of these BFGs with the spare mounted on the same aftermarket wheel, balanced, etc. So I wonder if I could add it into the...

    does the OEM trans cooler use the "zip tie" mount

    Been reading search results for "transmission cooler" looking for one to buy. I've seen lots of warnings that the often-standard "zip tie" mounting method, while easy, can cause radiator problems over time. While not likely, it does seem it could have a sawing effect on the radiator tubes. So...

    Noobie question about Axle Seals in d30 Front (Leak?)

    Ok, bear with me. I did a search and read a few threads about replacing seals. Most discussion was about inner seals when replacing carrier, etc. My knowledge on this is very limited, and I had my ride regeared at a well-known shop about 250 miles from where I live about three weeks ago. At a...

(they are also used in a few other spots) I removed mine, cut it alll up, and put it back in -- re-used some of the plastic things and some zip ties. I'm going to have to pull the liner again...

    Perhaps the dumbest question ever. "Freight" Shipping

    Ok, so I'm web shopping for some XJ bumpers. I keep running across fine print that says "shipped freight" and some even say "customer responsible for unloading." I'm kinda stupid, but that seems to mean they are not using UPS or some other common carrier and that some truck is just going to...
