also, they are COOPER tires just called definity as a pep boys specific brand if that helps you out.

i had some, but they aren't rated for that many hours of use and are expensive to replace

i just had similiar zip tie noise, turned out to be the drivers side unit bearing. The noise was rotational like yours and very annoying. When i took the old one off it seemed fine, no play, spun ok, looked alright. Let us know what it turns out to be...

looks like a lotta fun, hope it has some subframe reinforcement. It would look even better if you lose those sideview mirrors and go stock or 97 +. Oh the tickets i would have with this thing ...

if only i could figure out how to post pics, i would show you how mine is all smashed in from a rock that was hidden in a large puddle. The skid is caved in pretty good, but i'd rather that than my steering linkage. Working on the jeep is more of a pain with it there, but for me it stays!

all my info for my 97 xj is in the owners manual:rtm:

do you still have drums brakes? i bet it has to do with them if you do. If you haven't already do the zj swap and have one less thing to screw with. I have already taken the drums off more than once to see the brakes and springs just fall out, and that's not only on jeeps. Drum brakes suck

don't be turned away by having to enlarge the zj backing plate, it's such a small amount it takes maybe two minutes do both plates with a die grinder and the zj parts are more readily available or at least around here easier to find with junkyard plates and caliper brackets, new rotors,pads,oil...

yep i'm running the zj setup on my 97 with stock wheels with no problems in over 4000 miles now

well i decided that yesterday would be as good a day as any to do my zj disk conversion, and since i had everything apart i would change the outer seals. The whole job was easy and went great and then all of a sudden the brakes started to suck!! i go back home to check things out out find the...

it's the oxygen sensor, i had the exact same symptoms in my 97 i changed the o2 sensor and have been trouble free for over 4000 miles...the one before the converter..hope that helps

i used a 1/2 carriage bolt in place of the torx bolt, cheap and easy...just a thought
