finaly got an XJ 99 limited with some stuff

Has anyone done something with the wiring on the dash?

Today it started randomly not working, tach drops to 0 and speedo doesn't work while the airbag light comes on.

Sounds like the usual late model dash connector issue, there was a tsb and the connectors may need to be replaced. If not that, check the wiring to the VSS. That will fix the speedo, the tach is another issue which is why I suspect the dash connector problem.

what front bumper is that? is a nice rig remember seeing it up in the fs section

 

[sardo_67]

it's a JCR winch bumper.

 

[Outlander560]

thank ya sir that is what i thought

 

[alex22]

That bumper was a 1 off prototype they made a while back and sold through the forum, IIRC their new ones are not the same as this. If you're looking to get one call them up and ask about it.

 

[Outlander560]

will do I was going to pick up one of their DIY bumpers, but thanks for the info Alex

Now I'm off to Clayton's in a few to get that long arm stuff. Ha!

 

[Outlander560]

Hmmmmmmmm. I was just talking to Alex about this head the other day.... But.... I could just rebuild the motor for port power hahaha. Idk yet, yours new?

So, I go over to Clayton's shop, talk with Adam and show him my Clayton arms... "Hey dude I don't meant to burst your bubble but those are not our arms"
Well the arms are a garage build copy of possibly a mid length rusties kit or something. Measured the arms I have at about 33in, Clayton's are 36/37 and made with better parts. Talked to the guy i bought everything from a d he didn't know and says I can return them, I'll post everything up on here first.
Oh ya and then I handed him a lot of cash a d walked away with a long arm kit anyway hahah. Adam and Clayton are good guys, hooked me up with a set of "used" arms.
This weekend..... We build! Then go beat on in the woods.

 

[Outlander560]

They have about 7k miles on them not choppy no plugs. one tire caught my lower rear quarter panel and took a piece from one of the tread lugs...other than that in really good shape..what condition are those in? hard to tell by the pictures.

agreed Adam is a good guy have talked to him a lot and both of the rigs we have have (mostly) clayton lifts in them. sucks to hear they were a garage rebuild but glad the guy will give you a refund. that is hard to come by especially when you by the LA from a private seller!

from what i can see on the site that is the bumper i have. although i do not have the laser cut logos it is the same bumper, an early production run of some sort.

 

[Outlander560]

thanks man, I think i'm going to go with the DIY one that is similiar to this one little cheaper on the ole wallet

 

[sardo_67]

ha ya i hear you on that.

i have 4 D44 axle shafts, 2 in the rear now and 2 extras. new bearings on the 2 in the jeep now and 2 extras, we did the bearings maybe 6 days ago. any idea what they would be worth? i'd like to sell all 4 and get a set of alloy ones.

Meh... you won't break the D44 factory shafts. I wouldn't worry about it until you find a really good deal on the alloys.

 

[sardo_67]

Long arm install....

Long arm install....

whoa, your shop looks eerily like mine...

same paint job on the walls, same color lift, strut compressor (looks to be the same model as mine) is even almost in the same location (behind my drivers tire in this pic)
