The 68mm throttle body is from a Dodge Durango. A long time ago I started my stroker build and began documenting it here: https://www.jeepstrokers.com/forum/viewtopic.php?t=6250 I haven't updated it in a long time but I did outline the process of getting a 68mm throttlebody mated to a 99+...

Yup that's a good idea! I will do something like that if I think it will help.

I haven't run it with the t-body yet. The PCV will get done. I have 10 things going on at once including the t-body, manifold, air cleaner, t-case swap.... I'm also in the middle of a stroker build, hence the supporting upgrades. I want to put all the external mods onto the existing stock...

Lol, there is always someone who says "just turn up the radio". To each is own. I had my cowl intake for 7 years and as I get older I want my vehicles to be as quiet as possible. Not "overblown" for me. I think if you are the type that installs glasspacks, removes the carpet, and likes...

Sure thing. I made a custom battery box with an ECM mount years ago.

Yeah the intake temps will be the thing to watch when I get this back on the road in a couple weeks. A few thoughts on that: 1) I'm leaving the hole in the cowl as it essentially acts as an engine bay vent. The cowl vents to the outside so hopefully it will help keep engine bay temps down 2) I...

A bit late to the thread but like others, I noticed a fair bit of noise with my cowl intake. I thought I'd add share my latest experiment. I did a DIY cowl intake years ago that worked much the same was as the THOR. It was loud and whistled under hard acceleration. I've had my Jeep for 13...

What year is your Cherokee. What rear axle do you have (Dana or Chrysler)? Depends, if your Cherokee is 1995 or up, then yes The part numbers are different but in reality I'm not sure how different they are. The Grand Cherokee didn't come with the Chrysler rear axle, so if your Cherokee has...

My 99 XJ would slowly drop to zero at low idle when it was warmed up. I drove it like that for a number of months. I tried replacing the pressure sensor, checked all wiring etc and determined the reading to be accurate (as in, it basically had no oil pressure). It turned out my engine was just...

Don't know about you but I had a very hard time finding a 97+ gas tank skid. I come across the 96- skids at the wreckers now and then though.

That's a good summary of specs. I'd like to hear peoples real-world experience as well, especially 8.25 failures along with basic jeep mods. Every axle has it's breaking point, I just don't think that the actual limits of an 8.25 are well known / documented. kenmando, what tire size and type of...

What are the perceived vs "real" weaknesses of the 8.25? I often read comments like "The 8.8 is the superior axle, hands down".. but I'm not sure I've seen many (if any) comments on actual 8.25 failures. Maybe I'm not looking very hard. I know they have c-clips but in reality how often is this...

just a thought.. try http://car-part.com/ search for a 96 Grand Cherokee "caliper".. you'll see there are a bunch for $25 (per side). Phone one of them up, and ask how much for both sides plus the odds and ends (backing plates etc). If I had more time I'd make a business of pulling these parts...

Hey TMXONR, it's been a few years since you fixed your rusty floors. I'm just curious how they are holding up? Has any rust returned since you fixed them? How does the bed-liner look? I'm just starting to fix mine and found your post very helpful. I'd love to see a long term report! Thanks! (...

.... should I join and cross my fingers that there will be a NW Canadian Chapter or should I wait until there is one before I join? It's a bit of a catch 22 isn't it!
