Dude, Let me get this straight. You just posted an ad for some random hubs that you're selling in my FS ad? Am I reading this correctly? Wow, impressively uncool and clueless all at the same time! -Tom

Sure thing. Just to confirm - you want the overall length of the screw from just below the head to the tip? I'll measure them up this weekend and PM you. I'll also confirm the pitch. -Tom

Well, after a hand full of "I'll take em" emails, I still have the hubs and bolts. So let's try this again. I bought these for my 94 4.0L AW4 Sport and never used them. There is light surface rust on a couple of areas on one hub. The other is spotless. Included are 6 of the wickedly...

What's your question? Have you never seen an aftermarket XJ cupholder?

Up Country Suspension is gone. Thanks to XJ_Xtreme for being a nice guy and actually showing up! :) -Tom

Looks like the UpCountry stuff is going to a fellow NAXJA member. The service manual, cupholder, and hubs are still available. -Tom

Some pics of the stuff. Please only click the high res images if you really want to see them. They are 6Mb each. Hubs and six fresh bolts: Full res: www.snaptom.com/fs/jeep/dsc_7698_std.jpg Close up of the hub on the right - notice some minor surface rust. This one had noticably less oil...

Looks like the hubs are sold. Will update tonight once the buyer actually does some buying. Thanks, Tom

The Optima is a 35/75. Going to put it on the charger tomorrow and see what it's story is. If it's unhappy, I'll get a new one under warranty. XJ Beater - the whole kit and kaboodle for $375. If I get a brand new Optima for ya, call it $400. -Tom

Folks, Had a lot of interest so far, but no firm commitments. I'm going to be in Hanover tonight cleaning the old beast out, so I'll be available. Also, not looking to generally part out the Jeep. Just going to clean it out and send if off to pasture - unless someone here wants it. Thanks, Tom

Folks, I have some good parts on my not so good 94 Cherokee that I'll be junking soon, very, very soon. Optima Battery - got it replaced (for free) by Costco this time last year. 99% sure it's a 34/78, but will check this evening. Never run down, might be a bit dusty though. Pick up only -...

Just read through a lot of search results and still have a few questions. The basics: 94 XJ 4wd AW4 4.0L w/174K miles. Ok, so I was going to sell my old XJ - but no one seems to want it. Plus, selling our 4wd truck before the New England winter just seems like a dumb move. :) It recently...

My horn has also pretty much bit it lately. It's gone from a good solid horn sound, to the wimpiest, most anemic (sp?) horn ever - it's a freakin embarrasment. Guess I hit the service manual and start looking for rusty connections. -Tom

The old XJ is in serious need of some suspension love. Where this is my "get my sorry but around town" vehicle, and not a hard core off road machine, I'm just looking to freshen everything up. Here's what I have waiting: - New front hubs - New front hub bolts - Low milage take off front...

Don't Jeeps have these? I keep leaving my lights on (that goodness the Optima lasts a LOOOOOONG time). Other than a post it, on my forehead reminding me to check, it would be nice if the car beeped, toned, rang, farted or whatever when the lights were left on. Yes, I need some sort of an...
