If any of you are interested here is a video on the jeep running and a view around the engine bay.

The video was originally shot in order to diag a weird idle problem i use to have, but of course when i shot the video the engine was running perfectly.... my jeep has a sick sense of humor haha

Haha I have two HOLES in my inner fenders from the same thing thanks to the PO

Sooo I removed the sway bar all together

Oh holes in fenders are not exactly ideal. Aren't neglectful PO's just great? Haha not. But i ran without a sway bar for over a year

Well... The death wobble is back, and worse then ever... The best part is it decided to come back 200 miles away from home... I prefer my jeep to be recovered by a winch on the trail, not a uhaul on the side of freeway. Thank you Milo for just making my day :/

By death wobble do you mean it shakes at 55 or more? Do you know if it's expensive to fix?

DirtyKK

heres your death wobble problem. you forgot to knock on wood

just kidding man, hopefully you get it worked out. you have the cleanest XJ ive ever seen!

goneboating06

Yup! It shakes right at 55 mph, violently. And I have no idea what's causing it this go around so I can't say if it's expensive to fix or not. I've been in and out of the death wobble battle for the past 2 years and I have yet to permanently get it to go away. Sometimes fixing the death wobble can be as simple as replacing a worn track bar, or Getting a alignment, but so many things can cause death wobble its hard to say.

Hahaha... Yeah I think your right! I guess my jeep is on robby's side. I give Robby
A hard time and my jeep gets me back for him haha. But thanks I appreciate it, I really hope I get it worked out too.

How bad was messing with vac lines on your engine rebuild?

goneboating06

In all honesty, the vacuum lines on a 4.0 are not bad at all. I use to own a 1987 dodge dakota with a 3.9L v6, and it was a vacuum nightmare. You open up the hood and all you see is vac lines haha, in fact it had a dedicated vacuum pump. Anyway, yeah on the rebuild it was not bad at all, i had no problem putting the lines back where they go. Fortunately to make things a little easier there is more or less a Vacuum line harness on our renix 4.0's.
