    axle shifting

    Your track bars are what caused it, you either need adjustable track bars or track bar relocation brackets. The track bar centers the axle under the vehicle, one end attaches to the axle while the opposite end attaches to the frame, as you move the axle away from the frame it will cause it to...

    Extending spare tire bump stops for different offset rims and larger tires

    I need to do this myself. I was thinking of using longer screws and pieces of pvc pipe. Just use the pipe as a spacer.

    Different kind of YJ

    I have a buddy that did this a few years ago, he had a a cj7 that he had built into a trail rig, 60s, four linked, small block chevy, that thing will go anywhere, but he was bored with it. He got a yj chassis really cheap with no drive train so he lowered it, cut the diff. out of the front axle...

    I am not sure about the TJ but I know 1/2 ton chevy lines or yj lines are a good, longer replacement on an xj.

    Bad miss in reverse, 98 4.0 Cherokee

    I have an 88 xj wag., it's my wheeling rig, a few years ago I had a broken motor mount and when I would put it in reverse it would torque the engine and cause it to miss out, it would kind of surge and almost die, and then surge again over and over. I never did figure out what the exact problem...

    coil spacer install help???

    If you are removing the track bar to gain more droop to install springs, which does help. I have found it i much easier to remove the track bar at the axle end with the jeep sitting on the tires before jacking it up. When you reattach it I have found it to be done pretty easily if you wait until...

    coil spacer install help???

    DO NOT, I repeat DO NOT remove your rear track bar, that is what centers your axle under the jeep. Unless you have a triangulated 4-link setup or leaf springs you need the track bars front and rear. Running your jeep on the road with no track bar will get someone killed.

    Like saddle tramp said, stock was a TF 904, 3 speed. My 97 TJ has the same transmission, when my torque converter locks up the rpms drop about 400 which sounds like it is shifting into another gear. Mine also used to slip when it would shift into second until I learned that in a chrysler...

    '99 TJ Wiper Problem

    There is a rubber boot around the wiper motor to keep it dry. If it is getting water in the motor it will make it stop working. Yours probably dries out and starts working again. You can remove your wiper arms and pull the cover off and remove the motor, once it's out you should be able see how...

    Yj vs Tj

    I have had both a tj and yj and I even owned both at the same time for a while. For a all around daily driver/weekend wheeler you can't beat a tj. My yj was fun but honestly driving it back and forth to work it rode like a$$, don't get me wrong it wasn't a terrible ride just not nearly as smooth...

    I just upgraded to 33s a couple of weeks ago. I have a 97 4 cyl. auto. I am running a 4.0L tb, with spacer, 5.0 mustang fuel injectors and e-fan. I wanted to move up to 33s but was worried about the 4 cyl. turning them, I went with 33x10.50.15 bfg km2's. The 10.50s were 12lbs. lighter than...
