Glad you're okay, bet you're sore as hell. The XJ was looking really good. Hope your next one is just as fun to build

my little XJ is skinny and little. only weighs 3190 with low fuel and me not sitting in it, Mine is mostly stock with 4 inch lift, 31s, all factory sheet metal and bumpers.

my 97 has an inline fuel filter just off the tank. I assumed that the 98 was like mine....or is mine a unicorn?

when was the last time you swapped the fuel filter? I only ask cause it's not on the part list you provided. could be starving for fuel

OOOOooooH shiny!!!! very nice

ahhh, the north windward side of the island near sugar cane fields. Nice locale, I lived on Hickam for 8 years a long time ago and graduated from Aiea H.S.... I don't recognize the XJ, nice score though. Enjoy the wheeling up there

Glowing exhaust and fire on the muffler are signs of over fueling the engine. That happened to one of my old cars when 3 injectors stuck open during an acceleration and let off. the injectors didn't seat back up. My Cat melted down and pipes and front of muffler were red and glowing. It could be...

I bought one of those almost 6 years ago for another build and I'm pretty sure it was only like $130 bucks after tax. Then took it off the next year cause it went to 6 inch lift w/long arms from them.

Semper Fi! brother. Keep Killing them FN' chickens lol....Love the XJ

I currently have the exact same XJ as you....97 4.0 aw4 np242 ect... Here's where we differ a bit, I'm on 31 x 10.5 r15 mud grips and at 4 inches of lift, speedo correction gear and had to do the 1" tc drop to correct vibrations driving above 55 MPH. At the 3 inch lift point I experienced no...

I would love to go and meet and trail ride with y'all but that is almost 400 miles for me one way and can't take that much time off in June, sorry guys. I really want to catch up with some other XJ guys and ride. I ride with JK's, JT's and some other various Jeeps most of the time off the 600-1...

The whole reason for the disconnecting the Battery before welding on or engine work is to to keep the PCM/ECM from getting fried from a possible arch or ground spike. I don't normally do it either but, was told that's the reason by an ASE field coordinator. Just my 2.5 cents if that's what it's...

I'm running the T/M TM5-5866 trail master rock crawler black steel wheels in 15x8 with the new General Mud Grappler X3 all terrain tires in 31x10.5 r 15

I run 4.5" backspacing on my wheels on my 31x 10.5o mud grips with 4 " inch lift and it has never touched, rubbed anything even at full lock and flex

The instructions on the tractor paint didn't call for anything but the acetone to spray it. It was mixed 4:1 if I remember correctly. Just wait at least 3 days to cure before you wet sand it. I tried mine the next morning and it wasn't cured yet.
