Well the weekend is over and I'm done trying stuff for now. Disabling the ABS on my 1995 XJ can be done several ways. Every suggested I tried worked. I did each suggestion one by one then halled A-- down the street and slammed on the brakes between each test. Every time the brakes would...

There was an install article in the August 2003 issue of 4Wheel Drive and Sport Utility Magazine. Install is pretty straight forward. They claimed it only took a couple of hours for O.R.G.S to install them. Apparently it took less time to install the Rusty's fenders than to install Rusty's...

I'm with you on rough roads. I hate washboard! I usually air down to 20psi before I hit a dirt road heading to a trail. I've used chalk in the past. Just run a line 1" wide or so across the tread. Go for a drive around the block and see how it's wearing.

Let me rephrase that. They haven't been flat for 2+ years. There is lot's of air in there. What I meant to say was the treadwear has been nice and even.

I run 31x10.50 BFG AT's at 32psi in front and 28psi in rear. Never rotated and they still look flat after 2+years.

What year is you rig? Did it have the 4 wheel ABS? Choad

I don't have any pictures but you can see a shot of my bumper at WWW.DHOFFROAD.COM. A freind of mine builds custom 4X4 stuff for play money and parts. His main focus now is tube jeeps and rock buggies. If your in the northern CA area send him an e-mail. He'll build you one. Choad

Here's a rundown of the info I've collected so far for some models of '92 XJ's thru "95 XJ's: 1: pull the ABS connectors off of the ABS assembly next to the MC. 2: unplug the ABS computer. 3: pull the ABS fuse to disable the ABS system. 4: pull the ABS relay to disable the ABS Light. 5: "just...

Search past threads. I saw one that had a link to a good article with lot's of pictures. M.O.R.E (Mountain Off Road Engineering) has install kits and could provide info on the swap. Which electrical connections did you disconnect. Were they just the plugs on the ABS pump? Choad

Still looking for help. Anyone have some answers?

Ukiah is great. Not too many XJ fanatics though. Where are you from? I've been wheeling my XJ for about a year with 3" of lift, 31" rubber and open diff's. I think I could run 33's without problems if I kept my foot off the skinny pedal. My problem is I want a locker with 33's and I know...

Hi Andy, I'm with you on running 33's with the D35. I know several people who have broken multiple axle shafts running this combination with a Detroit. Do you have an XJ now? You mentioned buying and XJ with a D35 if the price was right. Choad

There is 2 active threads on junking ABS on a D35. What happens when you just cut the lines? Does anyone have confirmed success with getting rid of the ABS and junking the D35 for something stonger. 3 kids and grumpy wife don't allow for brake failure while wheeling. Choad

I've been searching for the answers to this question for 2 weeks now. I've seen 5 or 6 different answers as to disabling the ABS to junk the D35 for something stronger. None of them agree. Those of us who need the answer to this question are begging for help. Does anyone have the answer...

Drunk Huh? I'm workin on it. Indiana? Damn that's a long drive. I'm from Northern Ca. Don't think I'll make this one even if it means I'll be cool. Choad
