Speedometer and bigger tires	Permalink

Not yet... still working on that... but... My wife and I were talking about that as we flipped through the new 4WD catalogs last night. On new XJ ('92+) the speedometer is computerized and can be updated by plugging in a little converter that will automatically adjust for the new tires... But mines a '91... How would you go about changing your speedometer so it reads the correct speed on older models? __________________ -Haven Head Trainer/Performer Swords of Valour Live Steel Combat Troupe My Pics and Specs

You change the speedo gear. It's a $10 part and very simple to do. __________________ '93 XJ Cherokee Sport - build thread '89 XJ Cherokee Laredo - build thread '88 MJ Comanche Pioneer SWB - build thread '87 MJ Comanche LWB '94 YJ Wrangler - build thread

Ok, that makes sence. It was one of those things that stuck in my head last night. Will ask more on how to do it once I need to know that. Thanks Lead! __________________ -Haven Head Trainer/Performer Swords of Valour Live Steel Combat Troupe My Pics and Specs

Just did mine last week. Only takes a few min. I had to do it a couple of times to get the new one to work but tweeking it and taking it apart 3-4 times and it works fine now. __________________ '99 XJ, 5.5" lift, 33" MT's '11 Dodge Charger I miss the days that they made toys that could kill a kid.
