Had something happen that has me kinda un-nerved about my XJ. I'll just give a "timeline" approach to save your eyes. I was wheeling in the 16 inches of snow that we got here in MO last week at my brother-in-laws farm. Alot of creeks and gullies forested area. Here is the scenario: 1. Wheeled...

Quick question here to those who have experienced this. I'm going to up-size tires soon. I currently have 31's and want to know if there is enough difference between 32/11.50 and 33/12.50 to matter? With the 32's, I can get away with minor trimming with the 4+ inches of lift I have now...

This is an electrical problem, and I have not really delved into the electrics of this XJ yet. What I have done: Replaced all main wires with 0-gauge welding cable. Replaced battery 1 year ago. Replaced alternator 6 months ago (due to strange electrical probs...fixed them). XJ: 96 country, 4.0...

Okay I'm cross-posting this because I need an answer quickly. Here's what's going on: Family leaving on trip day after tomorrow. Have had "howling noise" for sometime. Replaced: Rear Pinion and Carrier Bearings, Front Carrier and Pinion Bearings, front Hubs, front axle shaft U-Joints and all...

I posted this in a ZJ forum, but you guys are the most knowledgable Ive seen about XJ things so here goes: Okay, my 97 ZJ (4.0 ltr, tow package) is getting kinda "squishy" in the rear. I know about F>R swaps and all since I have done them, however, this is the "family-mobile" and I dont want...

Besides the aforementioned tranny cooler / engine temp problem, I have another question. I have been trying for an hour to remove the damn temperature sending unit (the one that is back by the firewall jammed in next to the valve cover). CAnt get it to budge... no socket will fit.... open end...

Okay, so I'm heading to Moab in May. I thought I would get anything and everything out of the way that might cause me a problem along the way. I've replaced about everything replaceable (i.e. thermostat, sending units, belt, hoses etc.) Tonight, I replaced the stock auxillary tranny cooler...

I searched and found enough info that I'm gonna replace the supply line to the cooler/radiator myself. However, one question I had that I could find an answer to: Do I need to drain the tranny fluid from the tranny pan prior to taking off the old line? Or, does the fluid sit low enough in the...

Okay, I've about had it with my front sway bar. I bought longer links to go on my 5" of lift.... they snapped when crossing a little ditch..... then I "fabbed" up my own by cutting a set of Moog links and welding a grade 8 bolt in the middle to lengthen them.... they snapped when hoisting the...

Here is the situation: 1 week ago, put on RE 4.5 coils and S-10 / Cherokee bastard leaf pack. It all lifted the XJ just under 5". At the time I put the leaves on, I shimmed the axle 3*. I shimmed it so that the pinion pointed up more toward the TC. ( I know this is wrong now, but back in the...

After searching, I am still fuzzy on how to extend the E-brake cables after 5" of lift. Just got the lift on this weekend (alone in my garage... fun), and I am reading posts about extending the E-brake cables... but I can't find out exactly what to do. Any help appreciated. Thanks in advance...

Getting ready to put the 4.5" RE coils onto the front in a few minutes. Can anyone tell me if I stuff the new extended bumpstops up into their place FIRST before trying to get spring on, OR, put them inside spring, then put spring on, THEN try to fiddle them into their holder AFTER the spring...

Okay, I read all of the info about upgrading the electric system on my XJ. Yesterday, I did this upgrade. I replaced all of my main wires (both positive and ground) with 2 Gauge wire. From battery to starter, battery to ground, battery to junction box and battery to engine block. Could...
