Since my last update, I've gotten quite a few things done on the XJ. I did the first major upgrade to Pearl, I replaced my old power steering system with a new PSC system. I got a new steering gear, pump, and remote reservoir. The kit also comes with a fluid cooler as well, but in my opinion...

I used the Ruffstuff rear shackle relocation kit. It's a very nice kit, and allows you to adjust your shackle angle for a better ride. As for the height difference, IIRC the jeep dropped a little due to the shallower shackle angle. The replacement box sits right in the same spot as the factory...

I moved on to the interior. This one was in pretty good shape overall, but needed some love in the dashboard and carpet areas. I also wanted to add sound deadening material to anywhere that I could to make the interior more comfortable. So I pulled out the entire interior. I already had...

I had been on the search for another Cherokee. And this time, I wanted something that was stock and not trailed. I learned from the last one that I don't want to be undoing someone else's work. I looked at several, but anything that was in the condition that I was looking for was going to cost...

I have a boat load of updates for the thread - Still dealing with the other guy's insurance, thankfully the attorney is taking care of all that. As far as the silver jeep goes, the insurance paid me out fairly quickly, and I was able to purchase the Jeep back for 300$. Money well spent...

That sucks to hear. It's no fun at all to deal with this crap. Good luck, and consider getting an Attorney for all the legal junk.

The fan is controlled from the PCM. The PCM gets coolant temp reading from the coolant temp sensor and it gets a discrete(Open/Closed) signal from the high pressure A/C switch. If the A/C is turned on, the fan should turn on when the A/C high side pressure is in the operating range (Not sure on...

Yeah I used the stinky fab bracket for the TB. It was a temporary install until I could get my D44 set up. My Frame side TB is pushed forward about an inch to prep for the D44 and so I had to rotate the bracket forward to clear the pumpkin at full stuff. TB was smacking the top on a...

Thanks for the shout out :) I guess I'll add my 2 cents here. DW is usually some kind of play in the front axle somewhere. In the past, I've found the culprit with the jeep off, pressing the brake firmly, and slightly moving the steering wheel left and right. Then having a friend feel with...

That is a beautiful XJ. And really temping. I’ve been looking for a stock one, but this one seems to be built well. North Dakota is a long drive though haha.

I was surprised as well. I've always known that the frame stiffeners helped make the jeep more ridged, just never realized how much more ridged it made it. After seeing the jeep in person and in the daylight it looks like the front bumper hoop hit the flatbed. Which is why the front clip got...

Currently dealing with this. Insurance is only willing to pay Actual Cash value, which on the Cherokee is around 6500. They gave me extra points for condition and "Extras". Right now they are offering 7500 for it. I hired an Attorney and have supplied them with all my receipts and mods that...

So, I have some updates for the Xj. I've been working on an Interior light mod for the last several weeks and finally got it wrapped up about a week ago. It was a pretty involved project and required a lot of research and testing to get it to work, but I got it all wrapped up and I was really...

How does it handle on road with the G10? Also curious as the the amount of lift you got from yours.

My overarching goal with this jeep is to be able comfortably drive down slate rock roads at a good pace. I’m not talking trophy truck stuff, but most of the trails down here in Vegas are primarily rocky dessert roads with washboards and whoops. My current setup does ok but there’s always room...
