    taking off the doors

    1056499 I wouldn't think that the xj which is unibody, would be as stable offroad without doors, and there would be a chance of tweaking the unibody if you went off camber too much and not getting the doors to line up again. For an example of this, take your xj off camber and open the rear...

    1056560 I used to hit the test pipe in college, which is probably why my grades sucked. [addsig]

    33's and 4.5 inches of lift

    1056598 Depending on what you want to do. I've never run more then 3" with 31's and have offroaded for years. Bigger tires cause more strain on the axles and gears. The only reason to have bigger tires is ground clearance. Tire tread patterns also have a lot to do with how well you do...

    serpentine belt

    1056739 Don't even start without a cheap Haynes manual. That at least will show you the location of parts, not only to change the belt but to flush the coolant system. It will also show you how to do a lot of simple jobs that shops will screw you on.[addsig]

    XJ test pipe

    1056814 In Tennessee we are pretty much on our own, no state inspection. I've railed out several cats, and basically with a piece of iron water pipe, you too, and be the envy of all your friends with freer flowing exhaust.[addsig]

    brake line extensions

    1056968 Tug's right. On the xj I put 2 1/2" on, I didn't need the extended lines. But anthing more, and at max. extension of the shock, I'd have been in trouble. The easiest way to check is to find someone who works at a warehouse and have them lift your jeep by the tire until the lifted...

    Just got '97 Cherokee back from body shop - need some info

    1057502 I agree with them, take it back. I had a Volvo a tree fell on and when I got it back there were waves in the roof. I asked the owner if that was the best they could do and he said "no, but your next door neighbors and never gonna see that". I had them redo it and when it came back it...

    breather locations

    1057767 Maybe I'm missing something, but there should already be lines running up into the firewall on the front, and above the tank on the rear. Unless your talking about some other type of breather for the diffs. Those lines are supposed to keep water out. My point of reference is my...

    installing side vent window??!!

    1058268 Thats how junk yards used to be. You walked around for a couple of hours, wondering how the hell cars got bent up the way they were, and wondering what the story behind the wreck was, then you finally found something you needed, removed it, and took it up to the counter where a couple...

    bushwacker flares on 97 xj ...

    1058270 I passed an xj here in Chattanooga over the weekend that looked like it had Wranger front flares and the guy had cut the fenders up to the flare line. It looked good with a heck of an angle of attack. I didn't get to see the rear. It was lifted about 4" I would guess. In other...

    damn Autozone!!!!

    1058484 This falls back to my post a while back, most of those guys have no clue other than what is in the computer. The true "parts guy" that knew how to diagnose problems, what would fit and what wouldn't, and who wanted to help are few and far between. I prefer Advance also, don't like...

    94 grand cherokee with death shimmy, HELP!

    1049843 I lifted an xj with 2" spacer several years ago and the only change after the lift was re-centering of the steering wheel. There was no shimmy or chatter, even with Dunlop Mud Rovers. I think bushings or something that needs to be tightened is probably your problem. Spend a while...

    Where to mount tow hooks?

    1049850 I've had virtually every 4wd at one time or another and have never mounted my hooks to anything other than the frame. I've never broken a hook or ripped a frame member. And, I've always bought the el cheapo hooks.[addsig]

    Oil Pressure Problems

    1050111 I'm not too familiar with that engine but a lot of Mopars have external oil pumps which could be the cause of low pressure if its leaking. Sorry to not be of more help.[addsig]

    5 speed hard shifting?

    1050340 If the clutch is new it may need readjusting. Also I assume the transmission fluid has been changed and is of the correct type and viscosity.[addsig]
