    Rock Auto Exhaust Differences

    I'm looking to replace from the muffler back for as cheap as possible. The thing I'm confused about is on Rock Auto's catalog for a 1996 XJ, the tailpipe cost $38-43. All other years are either $13 or $17 for the cheapest option tailpipe. They are different parts numbers but they look fairly...

    Front coil springs... Looking for something softer

    I ran the RE 3.5's for 3 or so years and they rode noticably stiff to me. I swapped out for the 4.5's 2 years ago and they ride much nicer, I like them. Plush on bumps and no real lean or roll in corners. I must note that I also upgraded to 5100's when I did the 4.5's so there's that too. As far...

    POR15 painting

    POR15 is a great paint. If you use it semi-properly. I have found it still sticks great and lasts long even without any of the special prepping chemicals they say you must use. However, like mentioned already, it does not adhere well to bare metal, you will never get coverage with 1 coat and I...

    Parting out my XJ

    I'd take the drop brackets if you plan on coming down to Rausch Creek anytime soon. I live minutes from the park.

    Budget Build Tips?

    If your buying new wheels, I would definitely go with 16's vs 15's. If you get 16's you could run the metric equivalent of a 32x11.50 which is around a 265/75R16. Treadwright carries the BFG All Terrain tread pattern which will save you $200-300 vs buying new. You could then use that savings in...

    The dumbest Cell phone debate thread: With poll!

    IF you can wait for a few more months, do it and go Android. The Samsung Galaxy S4 is set to come out between late March and May based on the rumors I've seen. The S4 will blow any Apple fanboy and their koolaid away...the camera, processor, screen resolution, battery, operating system, user...

    Need help wiring my OTRATTW switches.

    Update: I got the E fan working 100% now. It comes on with the switch and both lights work as they should. I had to confirm on otrattw to see that the top light was the ON/OFF one. I still can't figure out why my lights aren't working, I'm thinking I have a dirty connection or ground somewhere...

    Need help wiring my OTRATTW switches.

    NCCherokee, the driving lights came with relays integrated into the harness and the e fan I just went without relays, I was scared it would throw a CEL but I lucked out. :D But I'm going to tear into this tonight, your explanation of what you did will help tremendously to figure out where I...

    Need help wiring my OTRATTW switches.

    Ok, I'm trying to figure out how to wire two switches. One is for the E-fan and the other is my KC driving/fog lights. The E-fan works...comes on with the switch. And that's basically it, the driving lights don't work. I have both illumination lights working; however the light that comes on when...

    Another shooting....

    I want to throw something completely different into this entire conversation. To me, this post is so closed minded it's unreal. So you believe that because the majority agrees with your position, your right by default and everyone else is an idiot?? It's a good thing all of humanity doesn't...

    Another shooting....

    LOLOL. I hope the word "unalienable" was a typo and your really not that ignorant. Inalienable: Rights which are not capable of being surrendered or transferred without the consent of one possessing such rights. Examples: Guns, cars, everything else IN COMMERCE. Unalienable: Incapable of...

    I think Our Senator is realizing something

    LOLOLOL at this. So according to him things like Sandy Hook occur because of people with mental issues, drugs, video games, movies, and a lack of God in school? Can't believe he's a Democrat, this is something a conservative Republican say. Mental issues: why isn't he really really trying for...

    Another shooting....

    Welp, I guess I'll try. There is no law or set of laws for that per say. But what we can do is pass laws to at least lower the amount of people who die from guns. We can stop the NRA and the blind sheep who follow them. Why couldn't the NRA take literally 10 seconds to say..."and to you...

    Another shooting....

    kastein...You know more than I thought. Good for you man. I don't know what political affiliation you are (I assume not Republican lol) but a lot of the stuff you have been saying about the drug war, patriot act, and everything else is 100% correct. You share a fair amount of the same ideas...

    RE Leaf pack Bushings Gone to crap!

    For what it's worth here; my replacement bushings I received in October have seen a few months of almost daily use, and still look new. They seemed to be a quality bushing for what I can remember when examining them...
