Exhaust Works on Ft. Lowell is one of the best and they're used to doing Jeeps. Leon's on Ruthrauff and I-10 is good too.

Interested in both I'm interested in the whole deal. Let me know where you're located and if you still have it. Thanks, Jim

Hi, I noticed that you switched over to rear disks. Would you be interested in getting rid of your old rear drum brake hardware? I just bought an XJ D44 that is missing all of the brake hardware and I'm having a heck of a time finding the Ebrake equalizer bars and E brake levers. Name your...

I usually use McMaster Carr when I'm looking for an offbeat type of fastener. www.mcmaster.com. Chances are, if it exists, they usually have it. Their catalog is also a good all-around tool to have handy when you are putting together a design. And if nothing else, its heavy enough to make a...

I wasn't even aware that Lee's did installs. I've always dealt with Tucson Differential but I've heard that he's become considerably more expensive over the years. Alot of people in our 4wd club use Kiatek (phone #327-7313) and he just did an install on my buddy's TJ. Kiatek specializes in...

The lifted white XJ in the Rubcon express catalog looks to have some decent fender flares but they don't look like stock (to me) and are definitely not bushwackers. Anybody have any idea as to what their origin is? I need to enlarge the wheelwells on my 96 but would still like to have some...

I lived in the snow for three years and my daily driver was a CJ-7 with a lock right in the rear and a true trac up front. It took some getting used to, but so does driving on dry pavement with a locker. I found that it was critical to not "power" into turns and to drive a bit more gently...

Hi, I have (3) 33x12.50x15 BFG Mud Terrains with about 75% tread left. I am interested in trading for (3) set of 32x11.50x15 BFG muds in similar condition. The tires were siped by Discount Tire. If you have 4 (or 5) I would be interested in buying the others. I am in Tucson, AZ. I will not...

Well, it turns out to be a moot point. I picked up the cherokee and found that it doesn't even have ABS. One less thing to mess with. Thanks for all of the input.

That was one of my concerns as well.

places I use I usually use Santa Rita Steel located (ironically enough) on Santa Rita. Its just north of 22nd down near Park I believe. They're about the cheapest I've found for tubing, angle, and bar. You have to buy 20' but they'll usually cut in in half for free. If I'm desperate I...

Having built and modified CJ's for the last 10 years for rockcrawling, I've never had to deal with issues such as airbag deployment. Now that I've bought my first XJ (a '96) I am curious about whether airbag deployment is an issue when rockcrawling, such as if one's front bumper were to smack...

Hi all, I pick up my new (to me) 96 XJ tomorrow and I'm already planning to swap out its existing Dana 35 for a 29 spline 8.25. however, I think the new rig may have ABS and of course, the 8.25 will not. My question is, how do I properly disable the ABS so as to not have any conflicts with the...
