NAXJA Tech Days

[TA2Jeep]

So...I'm not terribly handy with tools and I'd like to get some things done, but more importantly I'd kind of just like to have the Jeep gone over for safety / reliability items for wheeling with the family - would this event get that done?

Some things I'd like to get done :

1) Install new headlight wiring harness / lights (have all parts in hand)

2) Install CB (have all parts in hand; need tune also)

3) Re center front axle and proper alignment (looking for stock LCA's with good rubber for a '99 for this or fixed aftermarket LCAs 16" - 16 1/8" eye to eye)

4) Figure out why trans temp increases so much under uphill / 4x4 loads?

5) Basic reliability / safety check - verify everything's in good working order

1. That's fairly simple to do.
2. Same as 1 as far as simplicity depending on how exactly done
3. If I can get some adjustable LCA's or mid/long arms by then. Then you can have mine for a low price. They are approx 16 eye to with with a bend for extra droop clearance

I have some stock LCA's that you can have if you want 'em, off of a '99. I can't vouch for the rubber though, and I they are not somewhere where I can easily look and report further. Still, I'll grab 'em and bring them along. If you can't use 'em, I'll toss 'em in the back of a passing metal collector's pickup truck. Or something.

we have 3 autozones within 10 minute drive and napa / kragens a little further.

You can rent that stuff at Autozone, and tackle it yourself beforehand....

Hey everyone. New member here. I think I'll make this my first event. Don't really have anything to do to my xj but I'd be more than happy to lend a hand to anyone that needs it. I've turned a few wrenches in my time.

Welcome! I, for one, can use all the help I can get! See you there.
