Upside down, right? Cause the Ravens are gonna win.


On topic, I replaced CPS and MAP sensor, got my IRO D44 truss in the mail, and decided the next step is 703 injectors. Thanks to 96xjclassic for the help. Details and pictures in the build thread, like always.

replaced the TPS on my white XJ today hoping it would fix the surging problem I've been having. didn't fix it. tomorrow morning, I'm going to try to take off the throttle body and clean it out, and clean the IAC as well. it's not my DD so it can sit for awhile if it has to.

I have a few friends that have run trackers for as long as i can remember.

ran 31"s on them sense day one, and clears them better then my XJ clears 30"s.. and mine has the rear flairs trimmed. He has small pizza cutter tires on because one of his 31"s has a leak. when stock the rear will rub slightly when flexxed on a 31. never had an real issue with them other then worn ujoints and blown engines. One of my buddys lifted his and is running new 33x12.5 stt's on his tracker, spooled in the rear open in the front (has spool for it to, just hasnt installed it.) and has a Tcase lower ratio kit on the way. pretty sweet little rig! My xj breaks more then those trackers, and they run bigger tires then I do.

This is them both sitting on 31"s. The black one is the one on 33's now, and it has about 2" bigger lift then when the picture was taken.

There to gutless to break anything.

His front diff was probably bound to blow, no matter the tire size.

anyways, one more pic just for fun.

Surging RPMs is usually a vacuum problem. I would check all vacuum lines, EGR lines and intake gasket. Do you have a CEL on?

I also knew a buddy that wheeled a tracker...lifted on 31s and that little thing went everywhere. Even seen him snap 3 of the axle shafts and limp back in 1 wheel drive lol. That's also the truck we had to use a Pringles can and duct tape for a snorkel, goo times lol.
All said in done the tracker was so hammers he couldn't get it into 1s gear, because the frame was so bent the shifter hit the dash. Now he's building a buggy out of one.
