1068370 Let me toss my two cents in about "pleated gause" air filters..they certainly do increase performance, which is the objective. This like any other product must be applied and maintained properly. Typically these units are used as single stage filtration..this may work well for a street...

1068377 When I put 33's on my XJ it KILLED the power, and the fuel economy. After much thought and listening to advice from the folks here as well as people i know, I had the 3.73's removed and 4.88's installed...before it would not go on the road well at all. And forget pulling a boat or...

1068663 I have 33's under my XJ....with around a 4.5 lift or so...but Major Trimming...came to my construction party too.....dont forget that if you go very big on the tires, you will need to add some gear too. But if you actually spend time Wheelin' it's worth it..and be sure the tires are...

1068665 Just dont forget that the suspenson lift is only a part of the total package. A really tall lift will need driveshaft and most likely transfer case modifications too..My XJ is at around 4.5 to 5 inches lifted...so far i havent broken any u-joints or shafts yet.. if you have the double...

1068668 If the previous clutch repair was only a disc and release bearing...incomplete job...leaves room for many things to cause rapid reoccurance...a clutch job should ALWAYS include a disc, pressure plate, release bearing, pilot bearing and the refinishing of the flywheel...and use a high...

1068670 Wooo Hoooo....wheelin' without breakage is Da Bomb!!!! Landing shiny side up is better yet... 8-) or is that muddiest side down????? Dawg Bumper sticker: I'm not stuck, I'm soaking!!!!!![addsig]

1068720 I think i still have some pics laying around somewhere..but no scanner. :-( And if you are planning on running the stock bumper setup..what I did may look funny. But basically I just cut out fender till everything cleared...after i ripped out the inner fender liners...trimmed the rear...

1068785 Combustion byproducts, unburned fuel, water, and various acids are removed from the crankcase by the PCV system...If you don't have one on a street engine, after several thousand miles the sludge created will cause major problems...and the acids and water will attack and damage the...

1068940 PERK!!! Supercharger for a 2.5?? where??? gimme, gimme!!!! now that would be awsome at the mudhole...actually..with the right gearing...and some motor mods if you can do them yourself, or afford to have them done....the 2.5 is a fine motor...Clifford Performance has a special package...

1072146 Joey has a good point.. also..install the u-joint so the grease fitting is in compression relative to shaft rotation...it will be appreciably stronger than compared to installing it where the fitting is in tension relative to shaft rotation. The tapped hole in the joint is the weakest...

1072394 I would have just turned the radio louder.....not... :evil: [addsig]

1072398 If there is any existing sealing problem...synthetic oil will point it out...thats part of what makes synthetic oil so good as a lubricant...my experience has been that Mobil1 oil works very well and is in some cases MUCH less expensive that some of the "custom" oil's. And i have never...

1072580 Nick has it pegged...one or the other..maybe both..mold is also a possible health risk. Even a leak in the heater core too small to leave much obvious evidence can leak enough to stink pretty bad, especially if you have a strong coolant solution.[addsig]

1072584 New plug wires of any kind will not improve the performance to any noticable degree unless there is something wrong with your old wires. Neither will "gizmos". Modern engines don't have a lot of easy to find power hidden inside like the older engines did. An engine is a heat driven...

1073371 Where is the noise coming from? underhood or under dash..describe the noise and when it occurs.[addsig]

1073373 Holy Schmolie!!! Everybody has the right to make a decent living...but geeze, 225 clams for a SWITCH..armed with the proper tools and the skill and motivation to use them...45 minute job unless there are a lot more dash pieces below the steering column than on my mid 80's Chief with...

1073376 3" may seem like a mile compared to the existing suspension.. :-D Mine sure did..but after a couple months...those old tires sure looked small..so I got more tire...and gee :evil: now I need more lift...next I dragged my bumpers at the mudhole...can't let that happen....I think most...

1073571 Sounds like the blower motor...they make a mournful sound when the bearings start to fail. That is if its coming from under the dash. [addsig]

1073572 Nice lookin Jeeps for sure...and there ain't that many rocks in the whole state of florida :lol: Would be cool to have trails like that to run :-D [addsig]

1073573 Good point Bounty Hunter....Having never owned a Jeep till 8 months ago, I have gleaned a lot of good advice from this and other forums. I also have seen some rediculous advice...I especially like it when someone can think outside the box and be creative...now if I could just figure out...
