    Obligatory "Fix it" thread.

    Just got new 5165 Bilsteins yesterday; the 5150's i've been running for the past two years started leaking just before the Little Sahara run in February. -replace fire extinguisher -change oil -install new shocks -clean K&N -zirk everything!

    who's coming?

    For Sure! Heading down Monday night and staying 'till Thursday. Hoping to bring the two boys again, they keep asking when we're going to Moab again with "...the white Jeep guy Mike and that guy who cooked us hot dogs...(Thom) -no doubt!!:thumbup:

    Headers

    I've been running a Banks for 7 years now. Love it! Besides the performance increase, the other thing you'll notice is that your rig will run much cooler. The free flowing design of the Banks is very effecient at getting the exhaust gasses out. (I'm sure that other brands are just as effecient...

    Feb 12th Little Sahara Sand Dunes

    Pretty sure I can make it. Definately long overdue for a Jeep'n trip with my two boys.

    Topo programs for the computer.

    I downloaded the Motion X GPS Lite app last week to my iPod Touch, hoping that it worked with my Magellan iPod car kit, and to my surprise it works great! I've only set a few waypoints and messed around with the breadcrumbs a little and it is rather straight forward. I'm really excited about...

    Header Question

    At idle it can be a little rough because of the lost compression. If the rings were sound, idle would be smooth. This is what I was referring to.

    Header Question

    I just had Teraflex Plus warranty my Banks. (yes, the welds failed at the collector) This will be my second Banks. The first lasted for 7 years. I've replaced my motor mounts and the tail pipe hangers, of which the rubber was all rotted away. However, my rings are going and this contributes...

    What shocks have you had luck with?

    I just replaced my Old Man Emu Nitorchargers with some Bilstein 5150's. Absolutely loved the OME's!! They are valved for the Cherokee and won't fade like the Ranchos or the ProComps because of the nitrogen gas. I highly recommed the OME's. Mine lasted 7 years! (the 5150's are pretty sweet too.)

    Dinner head count and help Friday night?

    3 for dinner please. I can bring my camp stove, crock pot and serving utinsels. I can also bring my cooler for drinks-its a bit on the small side and only holds about 24 cans.

    Fall Fling T-shirts

    Mike I'm in for 1-XL and 2-SM for my boys. (XS if its possible)

    Thinking more and more....

    I've just got the usual maintanence; fluids, tire balance, secure cup holders, etc. I've also got to replace my battery cables - (I know Charles, you pointed this out to me last year.) However, my XJ finally did loose power to the windows. It's that vulnerable orange wire that eventually gets...

    97 XJ overheating - EVERYTHING IS NEW!!

    Ditto on the water pump. You've got to compare your old pump with the new pump for clearance and fan rotation-happend to me once. Could it be a problem with exhaust? The OE exhaust manifold is notorious for not being very effecient at getting the hot exhaust gas out quick enough. About 6...

    242 SYE Recommendations

    I like the full-time 4wheel drive option of the NP242, and I've been running the Tom Wood's 242 SYE almost 4 years now. It has worked flawlessly and the only vibes I get now are from my MTR/K's doing 70mph on the freeway. It really is the only option other than doing the HnT yourself. You...
