Installed nut strips, and bought diff covers and fluid for front and rear axles, doing that after work and installing a hitch finaly

 

What covers did you get? I like Riddler, but I'm always curious to see why people choose their brand.

 

Noto today or tomorrow, but saturday im putting in my new coils and shackles from RockKrawler time to get back to 3 inches instead of about 1 from the HD crown leafs.

 

What did you do to your xj to get that poor of fuel mileage?

Iv got a roof rack with tire carrier, 31s on stock gears and a cracked exhaust mnifold playing with my o2 readings, AND i drive WOT on almost every green light and i still get about 12.6mpg

 

Thanks man, it'll all get fixed. It's still drivable!

 

Nothing, the mileage has slowly been dropping for some time, after I lifted it I still got decent mileage, around 275 a tank. Then 250, then 200, now not even 150. I've been keeping my foot out of it too. Had a tire on top but took it down, didn't notice that helping. Gonna replace the fuel filter, air filter and the o2 sensor and see if that helps at all. I do not think my manifold is leaking.

 

Im assuming your map or o2 sensors are bad. Thats crazy low numbers for an xj. When i disconect the vaccum line going to the map sensor the jeeo runs like **** and smells like its just dumping fuel into the engine.

I havnt really heard of anyone going below 10mpg but i guess its possible with worn or damaged parts.

 

Ill look up the map sensor, haven't looked into it so I'm not to sure what it is lol.

 

Want an easy way to find vacuum leaks. Spray hoses carefully with throttle body/carb cleaner. You'll hear it when you've found it. I did it all the time on my 75 camaro and always works. Just a suggestion...I've never had an issue doing it.

 

Starting fluid works great as well. I would get a multimeter and start testing your sensors before you go replacing them randomly.. Would be much more cost effective.

 

Will do, I believe we have a multimeter somewhere

 

I cant tell you off the top of my head how to test each sensor, but with some googling you might could find what you need. Posting in the ask a question thread on how to test whatever sensor you're gonna test would be beneficial as well.

 

bout to sell my eccos to a guy for 100 bucks

 

Sorry was on the app at work, I didnt get covers I got new cover gaskets, but I am designing a cover to go over them made out of another cover off another axle, ill definetly post pics when I get em done

 

pulled this nifty soundbar out of a junkyard jeep, haven't seen anyone else install a 97+ soundbar(probably because they look a lot worse than the earlier ones), but here's mine installed:

I'm not sure what the scuffing around the light is, but I can't see that when i'm in the jeep.
