Thanks for everyone's help. Now I have a stupid question... "Just pull all your ABS fuses and relays, clip all the ABS wires and your brakes will work fine" ... what relays do I need to pull? I am not familiar with relays. I know this is basic; but gotta start learning somewhere. Also, if I...

Thanks. I am not set on keeping the ABS; but would be interested on reading what can be done to set it up on the rear 44 just to know. Anyone know where this write-up/post is? I looked for it. I found a lot on how to do the conversion; but nothing on the ABS aspect. My goal is to have good...

I am looking for some help understanding how to improve my brakes on my XJ. I have a 97 with about 5 inches of lift, 33s, off road swaybar, HD steering set up. I swapped out the D35 with a D44 from an 88 XJ and added rear disks from a 98 Grand Cherokee. Since the Grand disks did not have ABS...

I have a 97 XJ. Stock engine with K&N cold air intake and flowmaster currently. Long term plans are to add JBA headers. I am looking to increase power and mpg (mpg when in use as DD). I have heard that the Painless Throttle Body replacement which open the bor up to a 62 mm nets about 1-2 mpg. I...

I am buliding a 97 XJ with the goal of it being jeepspeed ready in a few years. Until then, it is my daily driver and also will be used for long road trips to wheeling and camping destinations outside of Southern Cal. I am currently running 33s on the stock D35 with 3:55 gearing - I know this...
