OK. I'm jumping in here kind of late, but wanted to put in my $.02. Kid, I'm old enough to be your granddaddy. I learned to drive in a 1953 Willys (Jeep) station wagon -- the forerunner of all modern SUVs -- when it was 14 years old (and I was 17). The Hurricane OHV Six put out all of 75 hp...

You mean I might have to get one knee muddy??? Horrors! Thanks Prepmech. Now why couldn't ARB just add those two sentences to their instructions? But I guess I could be charged with a: :doh: BC-Handler Search and Rescue Border Collies Phantom and Scout

Can I offer you part ownership in the Brooklyn Bridge? :rtm: Wheelin'-- interesting hobby you got there. I used to run those rallies in a Saab on the east coast in the late '70's. Got to use the services of sweep crews on several occasions! :roll:

I recently put an ARB bumper on my '99 XJ. Mounting it was not too hard, and it certainly is a well-made unit. However.... Like a lot of off-road accessories I've purchased, the written instructions really suck. They kind of tell you what to do with a fairlead, but ideas about winch...

I just want to know if they will be available with the power window option??? :-) They look great. Good luck.

At someone's suggestion I decided to get a factory sevice manual instead of using the crap Haynes book, which I've found gave bad info on serveral occasions So this morning I walked into my local Jeep parts department and asked how to get one. The parts monkey looks at his boss, then tells me...

Rats! You beat me to it -- I was just going to suggest aircraft stripper. I just got through stripping 4 Grizzly wheels with the stuff after my sandblast cabinet was very ineffective in removing the old clearcoat of the wheels. Abrasive bounced right off. But then again, I guess that its job...

Thanks, ScoobyXJ. I was hoping someone would jump in and say, "Oh, yeah. That's a common problem with Cherokees...":yelclap: Is that Molex plug on the cowl side of the rubber boot, or inside the door? There is no amp on the floor under the rear seat. I know because I took the seat bottom...

Thanks for the input, Bdiddy; I was not aware of an amp, either, until I saw it in the Haynes manual audio schematic! I'm just going by that.:read: There is two multi-pin harness plugs with power, antenna power feed, lighting, constant power for the clock, 4 speaker (+) wires, 4 speaker...

Well, I was hoping to settle the 30 vs. 31 before deciding!:laugh3: Thinking of Kuhmo Road Venture MT KL71 -- not available in 30-inch; or Yokahama Geolander M/T+ -- available in 30 or 31. Stock gearing is 3.55. I'd like to go 4.11, but I only have a D35 in back (thanks to ABS), so I don't...

Last month I ordered $3000 worth of stuff from Quadratec. I think of everything I ordered they got the window vents right, everything else was wrong or suspect. Customer service seems good about replacing stuff, but I'm really annoyed with the company. To give you an example: Working with the...

Like another gentleman said, "Don't Kill Me". I'm sure this has been asked many times before. I have a '99 Sport that is in the process of having the OME 2.5" (or 3", depending on who you ask) H-D lift kit installed. I have a set of Grizzly wheels, 15 x 7". My off-roading is mostly done on...

I recently purchased my first XJ (1999 Sport) from a soccer mom and pop who have owned it since new. The previous owner had installed some kind of aftermarket AM/FM/CD/MP3 player that I can definitly say fit into the catagory of "Tokyo-By-Night" with it's constantly moving display. It had to...
