Installed 03 GC heated and power leather seats into my 91 Limited XJ. Surprising smooth and easy install including the rear 60/40 seatswap in comparison to other GC seat swaps I've seen here. Really happy with my finished product, can't wait to get her lifted

Couldn't tell you how they are on a 4.0?

I have an "Italian" belt on my XJ, and it doesn't make any noise.
I had them Italian belt on my old Fiat Spider, don't know what was wrong but every time I fired it up day go "wop, wop, wop", til it warm up a bit.

Looks good! You should weld a u-bolt or ring to the top of it that you can hang a shackle from for vertical pick-up. Mini-crane.

I'm so glad you did that... and I'm even more glad that you posted it. I found a set of 01 WJ Limited leathers on CL for $200 that I want to throw in my 92. This gives me hope.

So today, I replaced the driver's side wheel bearings:



Good ol' Florida watery trails do a number on 'em.



All done! No more Camber kit lol... and I removed the dust shield while I had everything apart - nothing but a mud trap anyway.




Then, I made her more capable...



31" BFG KMs on TJ Canyons. 'Bout 60 or 70% tread on 3... one of them is a brand new Wild Country MTX. $350 out the door.

I like them alot, but I need to get them mounted on my d-windows. I miss my tight turning radius lol

Also picked up what looks like the equivalent of the skyjacker 3" value flex kit minus the discos (don't need them anyway - have my own). It might actually be that kit, but I can't tell, all the markings are gone. Either way... jeep's gonna see a higher elevation soon.

I can guarantee you your local junkyard will sell you one for probably less than $40 with all the brackets and links included.

Hah, I pay the shop to replace my fuel pump too. So much easier on a lift than laying on your back with a diff in your face

At roughly 4.5" lift there's enough room to sit Indian style under mine. Lean on the driveshaft and 20 minutes later and your back on the road. Love XJ fuel pumps!

Thanks! I do miss having a jeep to hop in and drive around town if I wanted to.
