    4.0 XJ questions regarding the engine

    Could be a bit of a long shot but I would go straight to replacing the catalytic converter if it hasn't been yet. My wife's '93 Grand Cherokee 4.0 was getting slow and sluggish to the point that I thought the transmission was giving it up. Mechanic gave us the advice that the honeycomb baffle in...

    Airbags, Ride Rite or Air Lift 5000

    Just wanted to report back about my install of the ride rites. In the end it took me about 8 hours to do, and it was not easy. I don't know why, I just seemed to have lost my brain and made several mistakes. I had a hard time lining up the brackets square on the frame, making them the same side...

    Airbags, Ride Rite or Air Lift 5000

    Update on my ride rite purchase from SD truck spring: I wouldn't order from SD truck spring if you are in a hurry, I ordered my kit on the 5th of August and they just arrived yesterday. The kit looks good and all of the parts look heavy duty. The instructions seem fine but a little universal...

    Airbags, Ride Rite or Air Lift 5000

    I haven't installed yet but maybe as a "mental tiebreaker" for you I gave up and ordered the Firestone kit for my F-100. I just had to get it over with as we are moving next month. I called around and asked a few truck shops, most of them told me I would never know the difference if I had one or...

    Animal strikes and brush bars

    I hit a deer with my Cherokee years ago, I guess around 2010. It jumped out of the grass on the far side of a bridge in broad daylight. I probably hit the brakes after impact so maybe I was traveling around 60 mph. Just wasn't even thinking about looking for deer in the daytime I guess. Anyway...

    Proper way to power fuse block on old pickup

    Hmm, I forgot about the power systems sub forum. I will check that out. I see that it isn't an ideal fuse panel, but for my purposes it seems okay. Say a phone charging draws 2 amps and the light draws 5? If they were both working that's 7 amps on a 10 gauge wire? Maybe I am just trying to talk...

    Proper way to power fuse block on old pickup

    Hey folks, A friend of mine gave me a fuse block recently. I would like to add a cigarette lighter jack, and 55 watt reverse light. I was thinking about using some 12 gauge wire I have already. Way overkill hopefully for the reverse lamp (55 watts / 12 volts is 4.6 amps?) For now I am content...

    New Jeep Pick Up to be unveiled...The Gladiator

    Who is excited to finally see one in person? I'm hoping our little Jeep dealership in Hancock gets one in eventually. They normally only stock a few of everything. I already have a ploy in place to take our Willys over there and schmooze a test drive.

    Is my Jeep too heavy?

    I just typed out a huge list of ways I reduce weight in my vehicle, but I deleted it all and will leave it at this. If you know you are way overloaded and are interested in taking steps to mitigate it, you are ahead of the majority of people camping since the dawn of camping.

    Upgrading to clutch fan, brand recommendations?

    Back to this topic as spring is coming and I shall be ordering parts soon. I am going to order a thermal clutch and a kit to make a fan shroud. (Have to make my own shroud due to mounting weird sized radiator in truck) Does anyone think it's a good idea to add a 7 blade fan while I'm at it? Do...

    CJ5 Resto-Mod Project

    Looking very nice. People just go wild for stock restored jeeps in my opinion. I think there are so many modded ones around with goofy wheels and rickety lifts that people see a stock one and gravitate to it. Plus people aren't affraid to talk to a person with a restored car.

    New Jeep Pick Up to be unveiled...The Gladiator

    I think the platform would work pretty decently with a camper. Heck look at all the Land Rover setups with four doors, short bed, and a tent. Have your jeep and camp it too. I'll be looking forward to what campers come along in the coming years. Also, not to be really snarky here but the...
