thanks swirlchaser, front end is looking good. now for the rear. Anyone have any clue how to get the metal bit into the bushing? i ended up accidentally ripping up the inside of the bushing trying to get that through.

 

Ok guys. my jeep is dead. engine is roasted. just died on me. it starts. it runs but i couldnt get it to move. the trannys good. how much shoulld i sell it for on CL as a parts car? i barely owned it a weeki. trust me. i love the thing but im pissed that its already done and i no longer have the funds to repair it. I know this is off topic but hey i know alot of yu guys are lookin for parts. its a 2 door. so keep that in mind. butyeah. how much should i sell it for on cl as parts?

 

Fix it.

 

Cant. I love the jeep. but even my XJ friends says its done. its roasted. they said if i buy a new engine they will swap it out. but i dont have the money. I just got laid off from my career job. and rents due.... I need a vehicle. and i would love to see this XJ alive again. but if its not possible atleast another XJ will be fixed becuz of my XJs donations. I can try to get a an XJ again maybe in the future. I am and always will be a Jeep XJ lover. funny... cuz the day i got fired and everything went wrong i had JUST found the PERFECT tires for it for a cheap price...

 

Use rubbing alcohol or something similar like wd 40 maybe and try to squeeze it in there

 

33x10.50r15 BFG All Terrains $680 at Costco after taxes is the best I can find.

 

Hmmm I might go get some prices tmro. I want km2s.

 

I want singe km2s, also

 

Does the front ds fits to Dana 35? My lift is 3.5 and planning to go higher if i bypass my problem with the ds!

 

The rears ones aren't rounded over like the fronts, a little tougher to get in. The best way to do it is to use two big sockets and some silicone lubricant. One socket should fit over the bit and hit the bushing. The larger one should fit over the bushing but hit the shock body. Put the bigger socket on the ground, lay the shock over it. Put the metal insert into the bushing first then use the smaller socket to press the whole thing in. Warning, if you slip this may cause a few scraped knuckles...

 

Getting new shoes for the XJ.
Have seen some really nice wheels at a fair price. I have the money to spend so my question is....
Is their any benefit to going to a larger wheel? Like from 15 inch to 16 or 17 or even higher?
Are there more tires available? is there a weight difference
I want to stay at 33"X10.5 but wheel size is optional.

 

nope. Stay with 15s - 17s will give you too small of a sidewall ratio for wheeling, and 16s are expensive as hell (metric sizes only)

 

tip - use a grinder to round off the tips of the "fork" on one side. Makes insertion a lot easier

 

with a SYE you can use a front driveshaft in the rear yes
