Hey all, Now that we're starting to thaw a little here in Colorado, I've cleaned up the XJ. I've been putting off dealing with the surface rust on my sliders but need to get them looking better. My question is: Should I keep 'em black, or colormatch to the body like I did with the front...

I need to get a snatch block and am wondering if a traditional block made for wire rope would be gentle on my synth line. I saw one on ebay that's designed for synth line, but it's only rated to 15,000 pounds. Two questions: Should I go with a traditional snatch block of look for one made...

I'll be meeting friends from out of state to do trails around BV this summer. They've all got TJs with at least 35s and lockers. I won't follow them on Carnage, but was wondering how difficult Iron Chest is. I've got 4.5" of SA lift, a rear locker, 4.56s, rocker guards and 33's. Will I be...

Hey all. I've searched and read that many people agree that a 33x10.50 is the way to go for a daily driver. But, I want opinions from those living in Colorado. My Jeep: 4.5" Rusty's (may raise a little later). 4.56 gears Rear 8.25 w/ ARB 32x11.50 ATs 15x8 Cragar D window steelies Rusty's...

I'm need to replace the middle steering bolt and am not by the Jeep. Does anyone know the size of bolt for a '01? I think it's a 7/16 but am not sure of the length. Thanks!!! This will help me pick it up on the way home.

I picked all the brackets with the York (which includes clutch) from a late model Wagoneer V8. I think I even have the belt. Decided against putting it in the XJ, CJ is gone.($80) Also have: 20# CO2 tank, The Source regulator, custom steel mount ($100) New CJ turn signal switch in box (fits...

I've got the stock CD/Cassette combo. The PO added a Tsunami output box in to feed an amp. I'm like to add an mp3 player. Is there an external input available for this radio? I've considered an fm converter, but am not convinced of their sound quality. Cassette adapters cut off the...

I'm interested in moving my ARB switches to the coin tray location on my '01 XJ. Does this insert just pop out, or is there a hidden screw somewhere?

Unfortunately the search engine won't allow searches for two characters like "vs" so I couldn't find anything on this subject. Can I get input on using narrow 10.50 33s vs. wide 12.50 33s? I'm in Colorado and drive through snow and ice in the winter. I don't encounter mud much. I currently...

I'm still trying to decide on where to put my switches. Has anyone installed them in the auto shift bezel to the right of the shifter? There's quite a bit of room there. I have two ARB switches (rear diff, comp), and four light switches. I think I could put five ARB/Carlintech switches on...

It just makes my skin crawl to hear people say Buena Vista as if it was spelled "beeoona".:soapbox: Help me understand why it's not pronounced like it was intended? I don't get it. Spanish isn't my first language, but I know how to pronounce it right. Oh, and then there's La Junta...

Friday night we camped at Baldwin Creek at about 10,800 feet. Drove up on Saturday. Great weather, no breaks, or traction problems. A couple of teens riding along dug up a whopping aquamarine gemstone about 1.5" long! On the way back, I dropped a line in the South Platte at Tarryall. I hate to...

My stock front bumper is for sale. The metal's in pretty good shape. The end caps were trimmed to fit the Rusty's flares. $55 I also have a 20# CO2 tank plus cutom mount, and The Source fixed regulator. Half full of CO2, so tough to ship. $100 Buy these as I need $$ for a winch!

I'm just curious as to whether my winch bumper sticks out that much farther than other similar choices. For kicks, measure and post. Mine: Logan's 8" between the shackle mounts

We just got back from our trip from Colorado to California. No mechanical problems!!!!!! I had a canvas car top carries loaded with camping gear at least 12" high. The interior was loaded to the gills too. My 4.5" lift became more like a 3" lift! The northern route between these two states...

I just put the new winch bumper on (sans the winch plate). Here's the write up: http://www.xjtalk.com/showthread.php?t=223

Any suggestions where I can go where they'd understand a lifted XJ? Brakes Plus at Powers and Woodmen couldn't get it right. My front tires getting really cupped. Thanks for any referrals.

This is a long shot but here it goes. Anyone in the Springs with a welder want to take my Flowmaster 40 and put your stock (or free flow but quiet muffler) on my Jeep? I want quiet for my upcoming trip to SoCal.
