Yeah those wild tracs were really good off-road. I never got stuck with them. I was a bit fearful of a name no brand haha

While I'm remembering it. Does anyone have an adjustable trackbar for sale? I'm at about a 3.5" lift

I replaced all my steering components except the trackbar. When I got it aligned they said they got it as best they could with the stock trackbar but it pulls to the right really badly. They said a trackbar would fix that

Well i went up to Madison last night and help a buddy pick up a 87 comanche 2.5 and 4 speed 2wd. The guy said it had an blown head gasket so he sold it for 450 turns out the valve cover leaked really bad and leaked coolant from the radiator. Here's the best part the entire thing it rust free since it's an Florida truck. Ran great for a 2 hour drive back and didn't over heat

I don't know where to start to ask a mechanical question about my Cherokee, so I'll start here. My jeep has been running very crappy for the past few months. It starts right up and goes. I bring to a stop and it starts to give out, it's losing fuel pressure most the time it will just stall right there at a light and a few minutes later I can start it up and bring it home. I've actually had quite a few people look at it and they cannot figure out what's wrong with it. I had the relay changed out because the comp said there was an issue. It's all I've done so far. Mechanic shop near me won't touch it until it dies completely. I cannot even drive it two blocks without it stalking, I'd say she's dead!!! Has this ever happened to anyone? Can someone please help me?? I am single with 4 kids I have to have my vehicle?

I bought the wrong paint for my gas tank skid. was meant to get forest green camo instead I got army green.



found this cai at the jy off a mazda protégé. I rigged it up to make it fit in the xj. my jeep feel like it got some power now lol.

Here's one I started a build thread. I'm looking for some parts. Just went and looked at tires on the truck they are 30x9.5x15 bfg's so I'm guessing they are bigger than what came stock. I'm looking to buy a lift but don't know which axles I have how can I tell?

I like that xj color. if you have an ABS system under the hood that's usually a dead give away that it's a d35.

Here's all the projects together. They are all my buddy's except for my comanche on the far right. So from left to right is an 81 jeep cj-8 scrambler that was in a fire, 1986 jeep comanche x 2wd 2.5L 4 speed, 1996 grand cherokee with piston 6 broken, 1992 cherokee with a lot of broken body parts, and my 1990 comanche
