    Liftin' stuff

    you can search some of the old posts on here to find extensive information on 3" lifts. in short though, i would definitely recommend a 3" for your purposes. thats the exact setup i have and i have no complaints. it still makes a usable daily driver, and its capability on the trail is improved...

    Worth it?

    its worth it... although you can get virtually the same setup from rusty's and a few other companies for quite a bit cheaper. k&n is just the "original" and i guess its personal opinion on whether or not it is truly a superior product. it does make a difference though... just check out the dyno...

    Weird missing problem 4.0L

    try replacing the TPS sensor. no guarantees that will work, but its worth a shot and its one of the first things i would have done. you can pick one up at NAPA for about $60 and put it in by yourself in less than 30 minutes. its a simple bolt-on piece on the side of the throttle body...

    weird A/C problem

    thanks for all the info... i too suspected it might have something to do with a vacuum leak, but i wasn't sure. i know about the vacuum canister thats up inside the bumper... and i will definitely check that. i had to remount it when i installed my ARB bumper, so maybe i messed something up...

    weird A/C problem

    first of all, the problem is not really with the A/C, its with the fan system that blows the air through the vents (so it happens with heat, A/C, and just vented in outside air). what happens is this: whenever i am constantly on the gas for any amount of time (over 30 seconds or so), something...

    Disk brake conversion

    never done it... but i've read good things and would love to do it on mine. you can either buy aftermarket products specifically for your vehicle, or pull components off another vehicle and use them on yours (GC to cherokee for example).

    Time for a new bumper.

    IPF, no doubt... which is also owned by ARB so you can insure they will fit nicely on your new bar.

    Speakers, what size are they?

    it should be a round 5 1/4" regardless of what stereo system it came equipped with. i wouldn't go buy new speakers on my word alone though... look and make sure at some point.

    the next big step (lift)

    i will try to post a pic of my jeep later today if i can... i'll go take one since i don't have any real recent ones. i have some aftermarket flares on mine though which give more room (along with the 2-3" of trimming that was done), and i also only have 30" tires on it... so as you will see, i...

    Famous Jeeps

    there is a real nice grand in the movie "the skulls" if anybody has seen it... its in a good chase scene and the jeep sounds pretty mean.

    the next big step (lift)

    i would recommend doing a regular 3" lift (not a budget or add-a-leaf). check out www.rustysoffroad.com as they tend to have more selection and better prices than rock-road does (although i do like them as well for some things). if you go much over 3" (either by buying a lift of whatever size...

    Random stereo question

    dave... get a CD player.

    Lift question

    i personally love my old man emu shocks and will never buy anything else. they are pricey, but worth it. its interesting to note that many of the major shock brands are all produced by the same manufacturer and then just sold under different brands... so how much does the brand really matter...

    jeep liberty opinions

    thanks for the input... she seems pretty set on a liberty, and actually has always liked them. right now she's looking at a 2003 3.7L 5-speed renegade that is really nice and only has 30K miles. its at a great price too... right around 14K (it bluebooks at almost 20). i drove it today and it is...

    jeep liberty opinions

    my sister is thinking about buying a jeep liberty... and she's currently looking at two different ones. both have the 5-speed manual, the 3.7 liter, and are 2003 models. one is a renegade and one is just a sport. any advice on the liberty? is 2003 an exceptionally bad year for anything major...

    92 XJ Engine swap

    well... i know its not what you want to hear, but don't do it. if your engine is running fine now... there really isn't any reason to suspect major engine work in the near future. keep up on your regular maintenance and you'll get another 100k out of it. even if it does die in the next 50...

    BAD steering wobble

    so is the death wobble cured??? if so, you have at least made some progress. however, your wheel jerking to the left when you hit something is not good. that is completely different than death wobble and is referred to as "bump-steer." this page should get you started...

    BAD steering wobble

    i just spent the last 8 months (gasp... no lie) trying to rid my poor XJ of the death wobble. i ended up replacing just about everything up front before it was finally fixed, but hopefully your problem won't be that severe. it seems to be directly related to your new tires/wheels. how old are...

    error code help

    i had my 1997 cherokee out for a little bit of off-roading yesterday and now i'm having problems today. it was fine the whole time i had it out and immediately afterwards, but this morning my check engine light came on and it began to cut out intermittently every 10 seconds or so (it would just...
