is there any particular year i should/shouldn't buy? doesnt really matter.
how much does it cost to buy/install a decent lift kit? if you do it yourself, not too bad. like $1000 for lift.
what else would be required to make sure the jeep will be ready for offroading/snow? tires, self recovery, and beer
would it be better to buy a jeep with a lift kit already installed? or should I not trust craigslist and get/install my own? install your own.
any other advice you might think I need? read and read about everything jeep!

 

well all the essentials are a igloo, ice and ur choice of beer, anything else that comes with it just take it as a plus, lol

 

Alright fellas i have a somewhat simple question for you. I have done my HID H4 headlight conversion and i love the way the lights looks both on road and offroad so now im thinking of picking up some lights from wally world (for the roof) and then running H3 HID bulbs in them instead of the standard 55w bulbs. So i just wanted to see if anyone has done this befor and if they had any issues?

And yes i have tried the search button........thanks in advance

 

Unfortunately, for the rear axle will have to open the differential and remove the c-clips so you can pull the axles, which can be a pain if you aren't mechanically inclined, and also involves changing the gasket and the fluid.

It's not a small job for sure. Here is a guide for a D35 axle, the C8.25 is similar

Hey, I'm kinda new to this whole thing but I've been having some issues with my front drive shaft and I wanted to ask around before I did anything. I'm really itching to get out there and go wheeling but I'm nervous to do anything without 4x4. (I'm out in the desert.)

I had alot of noise coming from the front drive shaft so we took it out and I found a couple bad U-Joints (expected), so rust and corrosion and a couple pretty nasty cracks underneath the saddle.

I took it to some buddies of mine and they all said they think I should just replace it, is it worth buying the new one or maybe grab on off an old cherokee at a junk yard? What should I look for? I really wanna get my XJ up and driving again.

 

will any of the newer style intake manifolds off A grand cherokee fit the same as a 99-00+ xj manifold?

 

does anyone know what else you need wth spacers and shackles because im have a 4" lift onmy xj rigt now and i was wondering what else i needed other than a sye and longer ds.
thanks

 

ok i need some opinions please. im getting new tires and am torn between the yokohama geolander h/t-s and the cooper discoverer atr. i would have like to get the BFG all terrains or the Hankook dynapro atm but those are outta the question. I want a good tire for taction in rain and snow for my non ABS NP231 XJ. thank you

 

I read you have a modded tranny and TC. Are the DS custom length? If not grab one in a JY any year from 1987 to 1999 auto.

 

The cooper discoverer are better suited for that use IMO.

 

diff and c clips to remove axlesahfts.

 

i have a 90 cherokee straight six with a 5 speed... no matter whether im in gear or just sitting in neutral when it gets to about 2k rpms its craps out... it acts like it hits a rev limitter kinda... injectors are good... all distributer components are new... plugs are good and so are wires... im thinking it could be the fuel pump or a clogged filter... i just dont know where the filter is

 

Fuel pump is in the tank, fuel filter is supposed to be in front of tank, on drivers side frame rail

 

look into a long arm kit
another alignment
and maybe a drop pitman arm

 

go with the coopers, better clean out and excelent wet/snowy traction
bfg are over rated and the peanut tread packs up more than you'd think
