cheap tips

[lillayfield]

any suggestions on cheap and easy upgrades for my xj? besides the usual cai and exhaust.
lookin for pretty much anything to make it a lil better.

I would get a huge dragon sticker (the biggest, baddest dragon sticker your budget will allow)
... it won't make your Jeep any faster, but it will definitely make everyone else slow-down.

racing strips!

no really. the lip under the Throttle body seems to be a good upgrade (removal)

Relocate the IAT to a cooler air source.

What are you trying to do exactly?

 

[lillayfield]

well i have plans of making it more capable offroad but for now the funds aint really allowing for any real expensive mods. so im just looking for simple ideas to make it better. exc. in the sticker and stripe dept. loluke:

nothin cosmetic really cause its already a lil beat in the front so i aint worried bout that part too much right now.


maybe ideas on a easy lift? how high could i go before needin shocks? and what would be the easiest but better way. i dont wanna just do some dumb b.s. thats just gone tear crap up.

 

[lillayfield]

not tryin be a a**. all tips are appreciated.:eeks1:

2" BB and you can get away with stock shocks if you keep it on the road. Coil spacer + rear shackle is the cheapest way to go. Look around, find used, but good parts and save some $$.

try avoiding the CAI too. It's a mythical creature in XJ's.

really? when i put mine on it seemed to gain a lil power mostly in the bottom end. the gain was actually pretty noticable. im runnin 31x10.50s and before the cai it wouldnt hardly even spin em on pavement but with the cai it will lay em out pretty good lol.

did you shield it from the heat from the engine bay at all, or is it one of the ones where it is just a cone filter hanging out where the box should be?

I swithced my stroker back to a stock airbox and noticed no difference. CAI's are a waste of money imho. The money is better spent elsewhere.

Nominated.

Also, you came here to ask questions and then disagree with/ignore the answers... :looney:

How do you know you got more of a performance gain at the bottom end than at the top withou being able to drive it around? I guess you can't get up to a very good speed in your back yard maybe?

 

[FlexdXJ]

Your a dumbass.

I agree. I understand you may not have done it on purpose but its not only the one who gets the DUI that suffers. Hell, I am rebuilding a new Jeep because of a drunk lady!

if he can't use a contraction correctly, what makes you think he knows what you're talking about?
