Mix your paint with a little (very little) gear oil, will make reading the contact pattern easier. If too thick, the marking compound will force the paint and give an off reading.

Backfires through the throttle body? are you getting a check engine light? 96 XJ is ODBI or ODBII, don't recall. I would start with something simple like looking for vacuum leaks around the manifold. 96 I believe has two plastic vacuum fittings, one on the front and one on the rear top of the...

I recommend IDing the problem first. a sound could be anything from a slacked out chain to a worn shifter fork. many parts from the dodge 231 will swap over to your jeep case. I believe all 21 spline 231 t cases, regardless of the make and model has the same input shaft length. 23 spline could...

For every pulley added increases the line pull by fifty percent, two pulleys would net doubling. Am i wrong? I probably am, 6th grade physics was over thirty years ago.

Running cable from the winch to a winch point, through a snatch block and back to the vehicle does not double a winches pull strength. what i think he is referring to requires multiple snatch blocks to work successfully. Truth be told, get the largest winch you want. I know ive maxed out 10k...

Put the winch on and forget about it. I would highly recommend keeping it covered when ever not in use. maintenance is limited to maybe servicing the motor or replacing a selonoid.

CAD diaphragm on the pass side of the front axle. if it is intermittent, then it is probably a vacuum leak, if it is just not functioning, then it is junk. Google search posi lock or CAD MODS and you will see a plethora of options, some cheap, some not. Personally if it was me, I would swap...

My wife's computer is showing as normal, must be something on my PC... and yes, the NSA is constantly monitoring my PC, if offroad websites and internet porn make me a threat, then so be it.

Anyone elses page layout all screwy? Mine is and it makes it extremely difficult to navigate? I am going to check on a different computer tonight to see if it is a network thing on my end.

The length from heim center to heim center as you see if is about 30" and at the axle, there is about 7" of separation. These numbers are not hard since there is some adjustability in the heims. That is the bracket that I had for it, it was a radius arm coil bracket from ballistic fab that I...

Not on TJ's. Also if you loose that cap, a beer bottle cap also fits in there snuggly for a "custom" look.

As long as they are properly gapped, I'll run any plug. I find that about 60% of the time, a pregapped plug is not gapped properly. Also stock wires are fine.

The amount of lift is arbitrary. If you are staying spring under, you should not need a trac bar. If you still have spring wrap while SUA, you have some junk or broken springs. If you wanted, you could put a trac bar like this onto a jeep that is bone stock. It is not needed, but you could...

You know what, I think I also still have the shackle that I bought to go along with this. Brand spanking new. I'll grab photos of everything tonight.

To give you an idea, this is what the trac bar looks like (this is not the actual one)
