Looking for a set of leaf packs that give around 2" of lift for the wifeys XJ. Currently running OME coils and 2" blocks (yeah I know) so stock leafs are beyond shot or I would just add afew extra leafs or an AAL. Looking for really good deal, so if you have any old leaf packs from your first...

Do you know what for? This was a legal road. Haven't been there in a year or so, but was planning to go through there on my way to Max Patch this fall. thanks, -mike

Great, a few more votes for the current engine. In my original post regarding this subject, http://www.naxja.org/forum/showthread.php?t=53642&highlight=hydrolock, a few claimed to have had connecting rods fail several thousand miles later. I had decided that this risk compromised the...

Some help from the experts needed. So my hydrolocked 4.0 is still running fine but I can't trust it to leave the pavement ever again, so I'm gonna bite the bullit and buy a low mile used motor. I found one locally that allegedly has only 10K on it. Does anyone know how I could verify that...

Nevermind, I found it. car-part.com

Crap, that's what I was afraid of. I hope it's sooner rather than later because I'd like to take it into the woods again someday without worrying about being stranded. The more I think about it, I should probably just replace the motor now before it comes apart a long way from home and I have...

Geez Will, Did you have to post those pics? Now I'm gonna have nightmares. Hope it knocks or something before that happens. -mike

RichP, Yea, hydrolock didn't occur to me when it first shut down. I just automatically went for the starter...I forgot to mention that I did spin the motor once I had the plugs out and had sucked the water out of the intake. Actually I was standing on the pass side front tire and instructed...

Ok, yes I searched and found lots of hydrolock info. It was all bad. But mine is still running, and pretty well (I think). Quick background: 99 4.0, 120K, owned since new. Always good about oil changes and and maint., so engine is (was?) healthy. So it got a drink of water in a...

Finally. After suffering high speed vibes for at least 5 years now, it's finally all over. I just went up the highay at 85+ with barely the slightest rattle from the coins in the ashtray. For those who don't want to read the whole story, I'll start with the end. It was a bent output shaft...

Looking for front skid and steel wheels...PM'd you.

I'm in Asheville NC. looking for the "SE" style 6 spoke steel wheels, not the "sport" 5 spokers. thanks, mike

which steelies do you have, the 5 spoke or the 6 spoke?

:doh: %$#@!!!. I was thinking this trip was later in April, and I scheduled a job for that weekend. I'm an idiot, sorry for being so unorganized, I hope somebody can take my place. %$#@, I can't believe I blew an opportunity to wheel and get paid for it. :doh:

I'm still looking for one if somebody wants to get rid of theirs cheap (free?). I run a small lift and hope to drop the skid an inch or so from its stock location. I don't do deep mud, but I've had the prob of branches get lodged between the motor and axle. I'm in WNC, give me yours and I'll...
