a few months back a fourwheeler mag had a jeep xj with a 502 bbc in it.. i would say you can put any motor in it.. how much time and money it will take is the hard question

i highly recomemded the detroit truetrac. i got one in the front of my xj with a spool in the back. 99% when wheelin both front tires are spinning and it is invisable while in 2wd on the street. for a daily driver/weekend wheeler i would suggest gettin a trutrac in the rear. or getting one front...

for tires you dont want to go to agressive of tread they will want to dig into the sand more and let some air out of your tires. when i used to cruise the beach with my jeep when i had 30x9.50 tires on it i ran around 10psi in the back and about 12psi in the front.. now im locked in the rear...

if you have a 5spd you most likely have 3.07 gears. all the 5spd jeeps i have worked on have had 3.07s

i founght overheating issues with my 89 xj for a long time.. i finally wired the electric fan into a switch a turned it on whenver i had the motor running.. and replaced the radiator with a 3 core comanche rad. that had a real cap. and got rid of the funking coolent bottle i havent had any...

i ran that same lift for about a year with 30x9.50s i loved it

i think i will pass on it.. thanks for the info guys

no its an 1981 cj

i think i kno this anawer already but i want to make sure.. a friend of my pulled a freshly rebuilt motor and transmission out of his 1981 jeep wrangler and put a v8 in it. he is willing to sell me the motor and transmission for 500$ or less. the motor in my 1989 xj is need of a rebuild.. will...

ok well then the axle i thought was a good sounds like alot of work

if your motor is still makeing 220hp you would probably be around 250 to 270hp.. but my guess is since its a 97 you dont have 220hp to the wheels anymore maybe closer to 150hp at the wheels which case it the headers and stuff will probably put you in the 225hp range

jps4jeep said the newer d60 wont work. just wondering why not? is it just because they switched to coils?

the interior umn what interior comlpetely gutted.. its an empty shell.. i kno i will have to trim but i wanted it low as possible.. there are some pretty steep sdehills on the trails i run.. but i wanted at least a 40 for ground clearence.. as for the transmission.. it will not be an auto for 2...

i got a mid 80s jeep wagoneer giving to me.. no motor transmission or tcase.. the guy that gave it to me blew the 258ci 6 up and parted out the trann and tcase but the body is ok.. the parts listed below i have taking up room in my shop. the plan: chevy 56" springs in the front chevy 63"...

althought its a pretty common issue with xjs the rear springs are kinda soft and wear out fast when they are stock.. if you want to level the jeep out (im assumning it is sitting lower in the back) you could get new stock springs or buy an add-a-leaf to put in your stock pack and add some arch...

i second the TPS guess

yea as jeeper99 said i would be more comfortable about tearing into one if there was someone that knew how to do it watching me do the steps and that could tell me when i was doing something wrong.. one of these days i will learn how to do it.. it cant be that hard.. i mean i can rebuid a motor...

so i just got my xj back from the shop.. i had them install a truetrac i bought from yjboomer.. they called me and said the seals were shot. which didnt surprise me as i run in mainly mud, water and sand.. not the best to keep axle seals happy.. but my grip is they charged me almost 700 bucks to...

thank you YJBoomer

ah i knew there was something else i forgot about the tps. i had to change 3 of them since i have owned my xj. there isnt much room between the firewall and the header tubes i kepted cooking the wires.. chaulked it up to a jeep learning curve
