Yep metal and glass.

Yep see the red box that says "autopal"? that's the one to get. Glad to see Rishi's still in business, the way Ebays gone I was fully expecting to be left with only Chinese freight container listing spam.

Evidently, though I have to say they seem to have faded over their lives. Gonna upgrade at least one of my Jeeps with some good name brand h4 bulbs soon. See if it's just my imagination or they are getting dimmer. Anyway not bad considering they are the cheap bulbs that come with the housings.

Amazing my thread is still around :) who da known cheap E-code headlights would be such a hit. FWIW the Autopal's in my XJ, my Wife's XJ, my Comanche and Taco are all still going strong, on the cheap bulbs that came with them no less.

Definitely thought of head room, in fact if you look at interior pics of the red "sporttrac" style one I posted you'll see that he has some sort of hack jump seat setup in there, because of the lack of room behind the seat. Makes sense, if you look at a 4dr XJ the rear seat back is visibly...

I know thread resurrection sue me. Always hated that burgundy cheromanche, it's just way out of proportion. As is the OP's still an interesting build from the standpoint of what can go wrong that no one ever really suspects. Jeepers tend to be can do jump in and start cutting types. But there's...

Sweet if you could very much appreciated, not in a hurry. some of my inspiration although mine will be more traditional and more be chopped at the roof line...

I mean the classic Willys 50's to 60's jeep pickup not a J series. I know some of you fellow XJ'ers have an old one laying around rusting in a field. I am bouncing around some ideas for a nailhead powered street rod based on a car frame and a willys pickup body but need some very basic...

So did anyone ever get it working with the cleaned up schematic BB1980 did? I am not afraid of Radio shack or a soldering iron but I don't want to start something that I wont be able to finish without an engineering degree. Man I wish I had sprung for the kit while he had it available.

A) Novak is wrong sometimes, a 30-40LE is a 21 spline AW4 a 30-43LE is a 23 spline The model has NOTHING to do with 4x4 or not... if it has a tail shaft housing it is a (pretty rare) 2WD AW4 if it doesn't have a tail shaft housing it obviously mates to a transfercase. Reason I found this...

It should be noted that the Mallcrawling Dyno session has been known to be suspect for a long time. The stock "baseline" pull dyno'ed WAY under what it should have (by around 40hp and torque). The "after" pull with mods looked on the low side of normal for a stocker with no mods at all. His...

No Dino actually installed the 99+ not that long ago got it dynoed and posted the results. smalls gains but a far cry from a loss of 5 hp... Like I said JP did something wrong. Which really isn't too surprising.

Dino had his dyno'ed and got a small increase of both HP and Torque. The 99+ intake has 11.5" runners, about 2.5" longer than previous intakes, that alone pretty much guarantees an increase in lower RPM and mid range torque... Where the 99+ shines is making more average torque all through the...

I doubt he's going to. And who can blame him. On a side note just in case anyone here is friends with that scumbag Gerry Fimbres he ended up ripping several people off on the Comanche Club order. The cliff notes version is he supposedly ordered (a little less than a thousand dollar order I...

damn I've been into Jeeps long enough to think I've seen everything put into a XJ or MJ... but that system sentry boggles my mind... How did they sense fluid levels? did they use special T-cases trans and difs or did they drill and tap them for each sensor? Anyone have one of those they'd...
