well thanks but that really doesn't tell me much since mine is 12 years older than yours.

 

Went digging through an old thread of mine. Pre- 95 XJs are not as cut and dry as it was for my 2000. From what I understand it is not very difficult to make it work, however will not just bolt in.

Thats all I got, good luck!

Is it a bad idea to buy a used lift. I am inquiring about a Rusty's 4.5" lift. If I find that it is the full spring pack of course I wouldn't go AAL. Would 20,000 mi be a good cutoff or could I go higher?

Or should o avoid it all together?

Thanks,
Jon

Ok so I checked all the pulleys and everything looks fine. Another suggestions?

 

what would be the amperage for the fusible links attached to the solenoid thingy? i have new ones that you have to put the actual fuse into, and im not sure which one to put in.

 

Was replacing my intake/exhaust gasket and I went to loosen the rear stud and it wasn't there, so I continued hoping I could use vice grips to get it out, no go.
I tried searching but couldn't find anything on extracting that stud any tips or links would be cool.

 

Irwin Bolt Extractors - work wonders

 

So the fringing went away. I unplugged the a/c compressor so the clutch wouldn't re-engage. I hope this solves it until I can afford to get it fixed

 

How can I get to it cuz the firewall is right there.

 

Pull the belt off and run the engine. If there is a noise still then that eliminates the pulleys.

 

I have taken my 89 Cherokee up twice and used the 4wd and both times when I take it out of 4wd it sounds and feels like there is something catching/knocking as I accelerate from a stop. The first time it stopped after a few days, too early this time to tell when and or if it is going to stop. Any ideas as to what it could be? My thought was maybe the 4wd is not completely disengaging/something to do with the hubs?

 

To start I have a 1998 XJ with 5 inches of lift on 31's.

I have 2 question.

#1 How do you remove a rear nut strip I have the bumper off I just get the nut strip out?

#2 I have a creaking/grinding noise coming from my steering box when I turn left or right. Any ideas on what that could be?

Thanks in advance.

The grinding noise came back! Wtf!?!?!
Can I bypass the a/c with a smaller serpentine belt? If I do this do I have to disconnect anything or is it a plug-n-play???

 

Yes do a search, many people have bypassed thier ac before, I would post the link but I'm on my phone so it makes that a little more difficult

 

The problem you could run into if you btpass the AC is the fan belt is routed a certain way to make sure all parts run the correct direction. If you bypass you might make the mistake of something turning the wrong direction. To do it right, you replace the AC with a bypass pully. You can buy one or fab one but you need something there to replace the AC to keep the belt routed correctly.
