Awesome, thats exactly what I was hoping to hear. Thanks for the tip too.

I have a pretty big problem. My 97's tranny started to whine recently in all gears. Im at school without the tools I usually have at home, so I bought a 15/16" socket to remove the fluid fill bolt to check the level. Since the bolt was so tight and just a little nub of it sticks out, the edges...

Hey, I got a 1997 XJ with the np231 and 5 speed. Ive owned the car, with 179,xxx miles for about 2 weeks. Ive put almost 800 miles it. I drove about an hour today, and the last few miles a noise developed from the tranny/transfer case area, below the shifter. Its a high pitched whine, that...

Old thread, heres a video from that trek http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=eZgtxYooPco

Looking into this swap myself, and figured Id bump this up for anyone else interested. This link is working now, and seems like the best option for swapping in the om617. :wave1: mercedesdiesel4x4.com

Are you guys serious? That trackbar looks brand new, it says Rustys on it...

I have the Iron Rock trackbar (with the double sheer mount). Its crazy beefy.

It may just be masking it. At this point, I only get DW when reaching a certain speed. The IRO trackbar solved the DW from hitting bumps. They are.

Ive had stinky mud cake up on the exhaust, and it smells pretty shitty when it starts burning off. The puddle couldve thrown some crap up there

Just trim the fenders. I have a 4.5" with 33s, and it needed trimming to prevent trashing my fendes

I was going by a quick look I had underneath. Turns out what I eyeballed was just a split grease boot. I jiggled evreything, and had someone turn the wheel while I checked everything out, and they are OK after all. I did notice that my new trackbar mount was loose on the frame, so I REALLY...

Exactly, thats what he was explaining to me. Im just trying to rule everything out one by one. Poked around alittle today, and the tie rod ends are shit. Pass. side is completely split. Guess Ill be replacing these too :banghead:

I had it aligned, but and the man said he set it so when I install my drop pitman arm itl toe out just a hair more and be aligned correctly. Of coarse Im too lazy to get it on there :yap: One of these days now that my garage is freed up (no more working out in the snow) Ill slap it on, and give...

Eh damn, tried going over 45 and I still get it. Not NEARLY as bad, its a sane amount of woble, but still very annoying and prevents me from going faster. Id still recommend the tracbar, def. helped alot

Im sure they make 3" spacers for XJs, I know my sis got some for her ZJ
