Inverter Wiring & Clean Ride! Hi, yes it is wired direct with a auto-resetting circuit breaker (don't want blown fuses out in the boonies) and it's parked on the floor, passenger side about the base of the B pillar - there is nothing there anyway and it makes really easy access to run a cord...

What You Did With The Right Rear Cubby Space Hey XJ Expedition Type Peoples! Sorry I've been so busy I have not posted up in a while. Well what have you done with your right rear "cubby hole space"? I have seen a custom made speaker box and some other nice ideas. I wanted to share mine as...

Glad you like! Yes I am also a big fan of TT diffs on ice, they have saved me from sliding off the road by my own hand (foot).

Now there is something I didn't know - sweet! How much better is it? Is there any year/model restriction on this or any 4.0? Thx.

Not Cheap But Good Well FWIW, I really like my JCR rear bumper that has the hitch built in; it brings your rear approach angle up quite a bit, and is rated for what the XJ can tow. Only "con" is that JCR is not so cheap - it IS worth the money though. LOL my rig was so clean right there...

Thank you my XJ Brethren for your replies! Yes I appreciate this reminder, I knew about the water moisture part - it's why you don't start a rarely driven car for 30 minutes and shut it down; You DRIVE it! The acids part - yeesh, more potential bad news and appreciate that. The temp point is...

Re: Mill head, port clean up This was a question I have been wondering about as well - for those who have built a few of the 4.0 I6's - how much can you mill a (stock) head and be good to go with no higher than 91 octane? How about some light port work? I only run 91 anyway - I would not mind...

Also run the Borla cat-back and have a Magnaflow performance "direct-fit" Cat - I agree here as well - it improved power on my steep grades and sounds good. Everyone will hear it, but it is not obnoxious. I run the BDS 4.5" lift and had to saw off the offset outlet to prevent any interference...

Re: Engine oil cooler? Passive? Hey just browsing around while looking into other cooling options before this year's first trip, and I found this item - has anyone tried one? Passive Oil Filter Cooler - If you tried one: Seem to work? http://www.ebay.com/itm/190968460364 Clearly you would...

Math aside, I would suggest marking compound - without it you may still have the wrong bite.

I absolutely DIG Tom Woods work on driveshafts.... That being said I Have noticed his balances leave something to be desired, and the lower gears you run the more important this becomes. I have 4.56's on 33's and at highway speeds the shafts are Ripping! A little off balance makes quite a...

PHENOMENAL COSMIC FAN <-- Yes - Now oil cooling? Hello again, I'm digging this thread back up because I'm tinkering with things again and wanted to both ask a couple questions and share some results. First off, I did put one of those Napa ZJ HD fan clutches in - yes it's noisy but I could...

Nice Upgrade! NAPA part 272310 Hey that NAPA part 272310 is a nice upgrade! With AAA discount it was $41 and change out the door. YES, it does make more fan noise because it is putting the fan to work, but I could care less because of the improvement - It moved my temp needle from riding on...

Re: Looking For More Airflow Sounds good thanks buddy! Prolly tear into it tomorrow.

Team Cherokee <-- Stay Away From! Sorry to hear about his man. Thanks for the heads up. Team Cherokee gave me a HORRIFIC run around. I bought a "premium oem" header panel and front fender, shipped direct to my body shop. We unboxed them, held them up to the XJ and they were Horribly made...
