    Changing Engine and Transmission Mounts before Rear Main Seal

    Got a typically leaky rear main seal and when I bought it a mechanic I trust immensely told me that in a vehicle of its age and mileage ('98 & 175k), it would likely leak again. I assumed he was talking about old engine and transmission mounts. So before I commit to the RMS job, I figured I'd...

    Aftermarket Seat Heaters Advice?

I had planned on getting around to a block heater and some seat heaters, but I think I need to step up my timeline a little bit. Has anyone added aftermarket seat heaters to their XJ and if so would you...

    Suspension Knocking in Front Left at Start and Stop

    '98 XJ with some no-name 2" spacer lift. Knocks when I bring it to a complete stop, start, or reverse. Sounds like it is in the front left, but when I put it up on the lift and checked all the joints and bushings, there was nothing loose. I plan on putting on a DPG OME lift shortly and hope...

    Steering clearance of 31x10.5s on stock rims?? Back Spacing sufficient?

    I'm sure I will be quickly shuffled off to some obvious thread that eluded my search, but here goes anyway. '98 XJ w/2" lift. Swapping for a 3.5" DPG OME lift. Here's the dilemma; If I want to put 31x10.5 Wrangler Duratracs on, can I keep the stock 15x7 five spoke wheels or do I need to go...
