BUMP...drastically lowered the price. Folks I'm very motivated to get a deal done, so I am dropping the price to $4800. Still interested in a trade, too. If you have any interest, PM me. I'm reasonable and willing to talk. Thanks for looking!

Price Reduced...now $6200. Still interested in a trade for something else, too. Anybody interested out there?

2000 XJ, AW4, 231 185,xxx miles Golen 4.6L stroker, approximately 20,000 miles on it. http://www.golenengineservice.com/engines/jeep/4-6270hp-jeep-long-block 5" hybrid lift kit. http://dpgoffroad.com/products/5-inch-rubicon-expressdpg-extreme-duty-hybrid-xj-kit/ Teraflex rear disc...

It occurs to me, all this time later, that I never posted the resolution to this. Sorry about that! So for the purpose of helping a fellow Jeeper who is searching... The problem was a short in the B+ wire where it splits off right after the battery in a nasty snaky mess. After replacing...

That's what I suspected. There is very little clearance to get any tools in there to remove the retainer and o-ring. Anybody else had any luck removing the shift shaft o-ring on an NP231 without opening the case? In addition, if I remove the case and open it up, does anyone have any...

Sorry to re-hash an old post, but does anyone know the answer to this? I have the shift shaft seal leaking on my NP231 and it looks like the case needs to be opened to replace the o-ring. Any help appreciated! Aaron

I bought the complete long block from Golen in the 4.6L variety. Chad @ Golen was great to deal with. We ran into a snag or two, and he was right there to get the situation corrected quickly. Golen isn't the cheapest way to get a stroker accomplished, but it's one of the easiest ways...

Oh it moves, make no mistake. Throttle response is right now and the truck pulls very strong right up to redline. Also, the whole package makes it sound just about like a V-8, with a nice rumble at idle and a deep roar at full throttle. Gas mileage is not real bad. I'm averaging 16 in town...

Thanks for all the responses, guys.....I will consider it standard issue. To the previous poster about stock exhaust.....I didn't mention that I also have a brand new Banks Torque Tube header and a high-flow cat and Dynomax exhaust. I have plenty of flow in and out. Also, it's not the fan...

I recently installed a new AEM Brute Force intake kit, and now the sucking noise from the cone filter seems waaaay too excessive when the engine is cold. When I first start it up in the morning, I can't even hear the engine running over the noise. In fact, I have had a neighbor who was walking...

Sorry for the newb question, folks, but there is so much to read on this subject that my mind is spinning. I am getting ready to put my first lift on my first Jeep and I need a quick word of advice. 3" OME lift from DPGOffroad, with American Racing Mojave teflon coated wheels. 15" with a...

I am getting ready to install a Banks header in my 00 XJ, and upon removing the factory exhaust manifolds, I noticed that the exhaust manifold to "Y" pipe connections didn't have any doughnut gaskets. Pardon my ignorance, but is that normal? Does the flared end of the Y-pipe just have an...

Yeah, there is a definite impact mark on the oil pan flange in the perfect shape of the upper part of the control arm mount, and in fact, there is even some smashed-on red battery cable wiring insulation fused to the oil pan now. Tomorrow I'll get under there and take a closer look at those...

To the best of my knowledge the motor mounts are in good shape. This was my brother's Jeep and the records he provided when I bought it from him say that he replaced the motor/tranny mounts a year ago. The bump stops? I couldn't tell you. Certainly a viable option there. All I know about...

While making my way through a canyon near Lake Pleasant today, I had to cross a rock that required a good amount of articulation (relatively speaking) from my stock suspension 00 XJ. When I got half way over the rock, I started hearing the starter motor spinning! I pulled off the rock the...
