Oil Pressure
(Preview)
So drove the XJ for the first time in a while the other day and the oil pressure gauge is playing with me. It is as if the gauge is only working part of the time. My gauge reads from 0-80lbs of pressure, and is the stock gauge that comes in a '99 gauge cluster. When the jeep is cold it normaly is around 40lbs a...

Upgradeing the front axle
(Preview)
Well after a trip to crozet, I managed to snap a front outer stub shaft which in turn blew out the lockout. I managed to make it 6 years on the stock 30 spline outers, the inners are already 35 spline. I ordered up some 35 spline outers and 1 extra for good measure. Never hurts to have a spare [img]http://www...

Once again this underemployed mind is scribbling ideas on a notepad and calculating costs for his XJ. Anyway, when I put the 2" AAL on, I ended up removing all but the main leaf, adding the AAL, and wedging the stack under the main leaf...

Heater blows air, sometimes warm, but not hot..

The heater in my 1999 Cherokee Sport does not blow what I would even come close to considering hot air, sometimes it is warm, other times it is cool. I have flushed the cooling system, it has what I believe to be a 190-195 degree thermostat in it. The heater hoses under the hood get hot to the touch, but it ju...

Rock Rails... round vs square and more!

I was quietly reading this thread (click here) and Adam (Lead) asked Andy (ACI) why he chose square over round side rails, and the reply was that he liked the square look (I do as well).

There are a lot of junkyard XJs :( that are older and do have the 'cone' that provides more support for the driveshaft (I think) but the occurance of driveli...

Trying to decide if I want to have new front end built or just beef up the one I already have. I really don't want to change the rim bolt pattern, and when I say beefed up D30 I mean axle trusses, ZJ front brake conv, 30 spline axles, and some form of locker.

XJ pickup?

This weekend I saw a red pre '97 XJ that was cut off behind the rear doors so it looked like a small pickup. He was driving away from me in a parking lot so I didn't get a real close look at it.
