Set out today to do the supposedly easy job of replacing the rear driveshaft U-joints on my 99. Problems started when trying to press out the old U-Joints (alternating using a ball joint press and socket/BFH). I could never get enough clearance to push the U-joint cap all the way out of the...

Installing a B&M cooler ... I've read and looked at the FSM. Though there have been some dissenters, everyone usually says that: -The line from the bottom of the radiator is the return line; and -This runs to the back of the transmission Well, I have triple-checked the routing, and I am sure...

Hi- I'd like to order some Up-Country rear leafs for my XJ, but the dealer says he needs a VIN# as there's a gazillion different part numbers on the rear springs and he says he can't tell which are which. I've got a couple questions: 1. Do I need to worry about UpCountry springs fitting on my...
