What sidewall/carcass should I ask for If I'm going with 31" treadwright guard dogs? This is a daily driver, when I do go wheeling (every now and then) its trails and sometimes mud.

Check the ground in the engine bay. I believe that panel has a main ground I could be wrong but if so someone please correct me

Just a simple question, hopefully somebody will have some experience here.

I was looking to order some replacement parts for my 89 xj cooling system, namely replacement hoses, heater valve, etc.

After looking at a few websites, www.chryslerjeepparts.com seems to have the cheapest prices, but I've never heard of them and the website is eerily lacking in reassuring info...

Long post short, has anybody used this website? Are they trustworthy?

Thanks in advance

Check to make sure it's a good lift, not a cheap budget lift. Make sure driveshaft is long enough, I got burnt on my last jeep that was lifted, drive train was binding. Check underneath the tub for rust. stick your finger in a hole in the frame, check for mud.

Do you think the exhaust might have been filled up with water/mud? That can cause it to run poorly, shake, and even stall.

Alright rebuilding the wreckage on my 91 I need a new header panel grille light bezels etc... but I want to put a 97-01 front on it. I can't find one at the jy that's not wrecked or just cracked everywhere. So...

Does anyone know of a site where I could buy the header panel, grille and light bezels...?

I would have gotten a JCR bumper but the shipping cost is RIDICULOUS.

drop the tranny pan and look for pieces or lots of shavings in the pan post a pic . if u find pieces u need a rebuild also may need rebuild depending on how much shavings or try checking the plug on the tranny does it even do first gear?
