1056189 Absolutely NEVER would you want to change a coil spring to a leaf spring. The whole point of offroading is to get traction to the ground, and leaf springs have much less articulation that coil springs. You want the axle to articulate to push the tires into the dirt. If you're running...

1056190 Seems to me that you are about to tackle a major project. Mating the engine to the transmission and mounting the engine, setting up the fuel injection and exhaust, not to mention clearances for the steering column and everything else under the hood, and cooling. Maybe I'm missing...

1056195 You would have a cool ride for sure, its been a while since I had an xj but its unibody constructions so I think you're looking at a lot of bolstering plates to weld to plus axle mounts. If you're set on the 350 conversion, I know there are aftermarket coil springs that would get you...

1056308 Jeep put Coil springs on the TJ. Landrover put Coil springs on the Defender. Hummer put Coil springs on the original and the H2. Mercedes put Coil springs on the Gelandewagen. Gelandewagen? You might ask? Gelandewagen Link[addsig]

1056309 Here's another reason to look into the Gelandewagen.... G'wagen shower[addsig]

1056357 Wet Okole makes just about any pattern of seat cover you want including three types of camo. Here is the link: Wet Okole pattern page.[addsig]

1056358 I've never seen a factory cargo cover, but that doesn't mean anything. What type of cherokee? xj or zj?[addsig]

1056499 I wouldn't think that the xj which is unibody, would be as stable offroad without doors, and there would be a chance of tweaking the unibody if you went off camber too much and not getting the doors to line up again. For an example of this, take your xj off camber and open the rear...

1056560 I used to hit the test pipe in college, which is probably why my grades sucked. [addsig]

1056598 Depending on what you want to do. I've never run more then 3" with 31's and have offroaded for years. Bigger tires cause more strain on the axles and gears. The only reason to have bigger tires is ground clearance. Tire tread patterns also have a lot to do with how well you do...

1056739 Don't even start without a cheap Haynes manual. That at least will show you the location of parts, not only to change the belt but to flush the coolant system. It will also show you how to do a lot of simple jobs that shops will screw you on.[addsig]

1056814 In Tennessee we are pretty much on our own, no state inspection. I've railed out several cats, and basically with a piece of iron water pipe, you too, and be the envy of all your friends with freer flowing exhaust.[addsig]

1056968 Tug's right. On the xj I put 2 1/2" on, I didn't need the extended lines. But anthing more, and at max. extension of the shock, I'd have been in trouble. The easiest way to check is to find someone who works at a warehouse and have them lift your jeep by the tire until the lifted...

1061177 I had the same symptoms in a '73 Triumph TR6. Finally, after replacing everything short of the engine, it died on the way to work, I got under the back and pulled the fuel line off the tank. Nothing. Got a coat hanger and poked it up into the tank and fuel poured out. Hooked up the...

1061179 I live on a ridge that requires driving down a long grade every day. I always put my transmission in 2 when I start down, and that helps save the brakes. I havn't had any transmission trouble in 4 years, but that is different from manually shifting. My Jaguar has a specific detent so...

1062161 There is no standardization between dealers either, we have two here, one in the main metropolitan area, who has a mix of good and bad folks, and one about 20 miles south where everyone will bend over backward to help you. Their prices are different also. Plus, the one to the south...

1062163 I'm also thinking it would depend of which system he has. I'm guessing "all time" is the Quadra Trac that I have with high and low, and in that system, I don't think the transfer case locks, it does have a viscous type coupling. I think the Command and Select track do actually lock...

1055138 My ZJ is still stock, but I lifted my Landrover using Bearmach springs which gave it 3" and bought stainless brake lines. Running mud rover 31". I go as far as anybody with open diffs. in the woods. No ridiculous rock crawling. My opinion is that traction aids in the axles, be it...

1055142 I'm with Nick, check the switch, and also, if you bought it recently, be sure someone hasn't been "working" on a trailer hitch wiring project and inadvertently cut the wrong wires.[addsig]

1049823 The infinity sound system says Infinity on the face of the cd, the speakers, etc. You'll know.[addsig]
