That is a sweet red XJ.. I like the rocker steps.

 

Glad to see ya back bro!

Hows everybody in the area been doing? We haven't been that active on this thread. I've been busy with work. Got promoted just a couple weeks ago and have my own store now. I work at the STarbucks at Independence & Haygood. Ya'll should come by and check it out.

 

Same old same old, I moved back to gloucester. Finally going to get the 4.56 front axle and long arm kit on next day off I get. Thinking of bumping up to 33x10.50s if any body knows some for sale or trade.

 

This looks like a pretty good deal if it is as described.

Whyd you go back?

That does seem like a sweet zj.

 

Brought my Jeep home last night.

Bad vibration up front around 60mph. Only seems bad under load? It has 31" tires and what I am told is a 3" lift.

Where to start looking for the problem? I know it needs an alignment, but could that cause the issue?

 

Yeah I'd start there. Plus you don't want it eating up your tires and trust me it can happen fast.

 

I'll go ahead with that. I can actually feel the same vibe when it is in drive with my foot on the brake. If I go to park or neutral it is gone.Don't feel it so much underway until I get to 50+ mph

 

I got tired of the city, it just wasn't for me. Plus I left the fulltime job I was at to focus back on school fulltime again and my parents said I could live rent free with them. I work less now and focus more on school. Should finish up in the spring, and from there I'm considering cross country trip with the jeep.

 

I understand that. I'd live to get out of the city.

 

I wonder if it's u joints?

 

Could be something as simple as a wheel out of balance honestly. Rotate the tires and see if it's still doing it. From there do a driveway alignment. Then start doing tests to make sure nothing is worn (hubs and u-joints). Also, double check the tightness of the axle mount for the track bar. Do all that then give us an update.

 

Couldn't find anything that seemed loose underneath. I did find that the drivers side rear tire was about 12 psi less than the other 3. Took a test ride on 264 and couldn't repeat what it was doing before.

Could it have been that?

 

Very well could be. Best thing is to have a smooth road and run it at about 45, then 50, 55, 60, and 65, giving each speed a minute or too to feel for any unnatural vibes or wiggles.

 

And where am I supposed to find a smooth road that I can 65 mph on anywhere around here?
