im sorry if these are "Easy to find in the search engine" questions
i have a 91 cherokee limited, 220000 km, i love it atleast half as much as everyone else on here (which says alot :P) im out to do some different mods on the engine that i have heard will help with power. my two questions that i cannot seem to find an answer for are
1: aftermarket air filters. i want something with greater flow and cooling but i cannot seem to find anything that is suitable. any ideas/links to ideas would be massivly appreciated.
2: that typical uber rumble that every 4wd has at highway speeds is annoying, anyone heard of or attempted an effective way to kill it?

Sorry if this is a stupid question, but I can't seem to find an answer. When I'm driving my oil pressure is at 60 until it warms up then it runs between 50-55, when I pull up to a stop light and idle it's around 25-30, is this normal operation? Ive never owned a vehicle that actually has an oil pressure gauge! Thanks.

Re tracbar and mounting bracket

Re 5.5 springswith 1 inch shackles (how high will this sit I hear 6.5?)
Re or ironrock front springs

i understand this is going to be asked in the XJ forum but, I'm currently looking for a 1998-2001 xj and its real tuff, cause i would need to buy one at a dealer to do my trade in, so i began to think i like the xj body better but what would the difference be in a WJ? all i would use either for is towing a small yard waste/ moving stuff trailer, and would probably only go mudding and driving thru the snow. any help would be awesome.

speedometer Question
I still not sure if I'm doing this right "ask question thread" and it seems I'm posting a reply,To whom it may concern or etc..my question is can you put a" 89" 231 in a 96 sport and simply install the electric speedo in place of the cable drive? I realize the ratio may be different.I'm trying to avoid swapping tail housings

What are those going to do for me exactly? And do re leafs run higher than normal? How strong is the rough country longarm kit?

they are T27s but you can get away with using a T25 you just have to be careful not to strip the heads out. Getting the fenders off is pretty easy but If I remember correctly you have to remove the headlights to get to a few of the bolts. It may even require unbolting the entire header panel.

Thanks for the replies.
The L & R mount are solid as a rock. There is no 90 degree adaptor.
It may in fact be the Trans mount which will allow the powerplant to be lower then normal.
I did find a quick fix, and thei filternumber is one to keep handy in case of mods etc.
Fram Ph3512, Wix 5135, Napa 1335, aare all the same mount. and 2.7" high.
Thanks for the quick response, and hope someone else can benefit from my research.
Remember the JEEP was the single most important tool that helped in the success of our troops in WWII!
