My supply supervisor has Titanium plates across his front skull due to a 4 wheeler accident he hit a large branch on a narrow trail, yes he was going fast and yes he wasn't wearing a helmet, he already got chewed out by the first shirt and the commander, he's one lucky son of a buck if you ask...

True, but there higher grade titanium alloys too, manganese and molybdenum. The thing I was getting at is that you can make it thicker and still be lighter than steel, plus corrosion resistance but the cost would be ridiculous! Here i got this from a website really good info here: So you see...

Uhh.. Come again? do not put the 4.2 in the same weight class as the 4.0. The 4.0 is no way near 735 lbs. http://www.naxja.org/forum/showthread.php?t=40732

Titanium bumper would be cool but again that would equal $$$$. Because Titanium is as strong as steel but 45% lighter in weight, much more resistant to corrosion and organic acids, also resistant to Sulfuric acids (ideal for battery trays).

207,000 miles (not accurate probably off by at least 600-800 miles) on my 92 XJ (electronic) odometer froze up a couple of times (happens mostly at winter) but goes back to normal once it heats up. There are some small leaks but nothing major and smog levels so low that the mechanic thought his...

Nah thats with just about any vehicle you buy, some will last longer than others some will clunk out on you after a short time so far the most reliable vehicle I've had is my cherokee, 198,000 miles and only had one problem the tranny was rebuilt at 177,000 miles and since i did most of the work...

Actually your not too far off rom stock: A stock AMC 401 was rated 215 HP@4400 and 320@2800. One thing I know is that the AMC v8's are pretty torqey engines. http://www.jeeptech.com/engine/amc401.html so a high torque low hp is not uncommon. its to be expected with a compression of 8.35 to 1

Hmm, speaking of which I do have a 1977 Cherokee with a 401 in it that I'm restoring, I rescued it from a salvage yard alls it needed was gas and some tweaking and she runs smooth with only a slight ticking at the pass. side around the valve cover area (probably loose lifter or somethin'), I'm...

Here in Utah, Almost all of the 97-up government XJ's is white (Stone White clearcoat) Lapis Blue clearcoat (SE, Sport Only) Dark Blue Pearlcoat Patriot Blue (Air Force favorite) Emerald Green Pearlcoat (SE, Sport Only) Moss Green Pearlcoat Citron Pearlcoat (SE, Sport Only) Flame Red Clearcoat...

Hey 4squirrels, They do suck, the same exact thing happened to me except the missing block part, right now I'm gonna pull the motor out with a cherry picker and have at it with the bolts, I don't think wielding a peice a metal to the remaining studs is gonna work because they all busted like an...

Why spend several hundred dollars on headlights when you could simply put good driving lights on? yes I drive through mountains alot and here in Utah we have really winding mountain roads so simply put, having the baddest brightest $500-$1000 lights is simply worthless in my opinion i would...

I'm guessing not everybody read all the posts, because like sarge said threadlocker will not prevent bolts from snapping, I myself would think it a good idea to replace some bolts that subject to a lot of torque, because the engines I rebuilt do not use orginal bolts and beleive it or not they...

Well I decided to look again a little closer this time, well lets just say I would've wished it was a cruel joke bacause i found the other half of the bolts still inside the block, not good. Well looks like i'm gonna have to do some heavy drilling. I think its like you guys said, attributed to...

the question is, is it possible that they wanted to do something that wasn't obvious?

I'm thinking about making a stroker soon, i know a guy who said he'll fit, hone and install my crank, pistons, and camshaft for about $450-$500. I have to provide the parts so i am wondering what recommendations i should do? i want to make mine into a 4.6 or 4.7 and I also know a bunch of old...

I think I was victim to somebodies cruel joke, few days ago I heard a loud pop when I was accelerating and then it started to rattle real bad, thinking it was the clutch well I started looking around until finally I saw my oil filter was dented on one side due to hitting the lateral bolt so I...

Heres a link to a websight i used for my leds: www.superbrightleds.com

Well this is kinda funny, I did measure the fuel pressure and it was fine the fuel pump still worked perfectly and disconnected the fuel lines connecting to the rail just in case there is anything clogging it like dirt or peices of filter element (it has happened to my freind before) but i found...

ok the spark plugs, wires and distributer cap is all new (7 months), and yes the fuel filter and pump is still factory, so hopefully that kinda narrows down the problems, oh yeah it also idles at a higher rpm than normal now, a little over 1000 instead of 750-800

Need Troubleshooting help. ok here goes, I have a 92 cherokee with a 4.0 5spd and almost 185k miles on it, the problem i've been having is that it won't start when i turn over until i push the gas pedal to the floor then it sputters to life, at first it'll sound like a motorcycle at around...
