    Getting new bumpers

    Anyone bought from JCR offroad (http://www.jcroffroad.com/) The bumpers are exactly what I'm looking for at the perfect price, just wondering how they hold up and if they install easily. Maybe, more importantly, have they held up under difficult situations? Also, since they don't do finishing...

    Terraflex rear shackles .....

    Thanks. This is my first lift so I'll put this one under the 'noob' stack. Seems like terra gets a pretty bad wrap from what i've read so far. Out of curiosity, who makes a pair a "good shackles"? Doesn't seem like there's much to them but maybe i'm missing something here.

    Terraflex rear shackles .....

    Hey guys, So for a while I've had a knocking noise coming from the rear passenger side and I've finally narrowed it down to the terraflex shackle. It's pretty new, i'd say about 8months or so, and well greased up. Are these known to be loud? Any quick cure for this? Technically, does anyone...

    Stupid CA emissions standards :-)

    Thanks. Went with the magnaflow and it's quite nice.

    Stupid CA emissions standards :-)

    So i've gotta go in for my smog check (good 'ol CA.... just gotta love it) and am wondering if the aftermarket XJ catalytic converters hold up past 2 years? If so, what brand is the best. The reason why I ask is because a good friend of mine failed smog check 2years ago and opted to get the...

    Rear-end growling noise

    Thanks. I'd say there's 1/4 rotational deflection on the rear driveshaft, good to know that's about normal. What's the process for checking the diff fluid level? Can't say I've had to do such yet. As for an upgrade are you talking about a SYE setup?

    Rear-end growling noise

    I should also mention that if i get off the throttle immediately and/or brake as well I don't get any vibrations or noise. When people mention that they have vibrations due to an incorrect angle or a bad pinion is it a heavy vibration or something very small and just annoying?

    Rear-end growling noise

    Hello jeep gods, Hoping that this rings a bell to someone. I have a 2000XJ with a RE 3.5" lift (came out slightly more), did the lift about 6 months ago. Recently I've noticed a "Growling" noise when decelerating at highway speeds and I can continue to make it growl if i don't fully take...

    XJ Bumper

    haha, of course. Google is quite nice but actual recommendations from people that use the equipment on a daily basis far surpasses any magazine article, promotion, sales pitch, etc ... I could probably find a ton of customer reviews out there but so far my experience on this site has been...

    On board air

    @ worme: Do you have any pics of your pluming handy work? I'd love to see how you've setup the tanks with the locker.

    What is this module?

    Wow. Thanks for the very detailed reply. I just get all paranoid when dealing with gizmo's that I don't know what they are. Wouldn't want to trigger an air bag deploy :-) And I couldn't find any description on the net (quickly that is) as to what that was. Seems like you've done you homework...

    What is this module?

    After snooping around under my front bumper I'm curious as to what the cylinder-like module is in the pic next to the vacuum bottle? I'm removing the quarter guards for clearance and just want to know what this is and if it's related to the air bag? Does anyone know what kind of air bag sensor...

    XJ Bumper

    Searched around a bit and didn't find a whole lot on this. Currently I've got the stock front bumper and am looking at something just a bit better :-) I'd like it to be winch capable with the ability to add a stinger-style setup at a later date. Any recommendations? Any companies to stay...

    On board air

    Hey guys, So I'm looking into getting an on-board air setup and am wondering what others are running? I'm probably asking too much but ultimately I'd like to get a setup that can be used for: - Tires - Locker(s) - Air Tools (would be nice to have a portable one for a number of cases) -...

    Labor day?

    Hey all, So i'm flying into LA for the labor day weekend and was wondering if anyone knew of events (seems like SCORE is holding one the following) in the surrounding area that weekend? Thanks in advance,

    popping noise

    From other forum's i've narrowed the issue down to bad bushings in the linkage. Quick question if anyone is following this. Does your t-case lever have any play in it when set to 2wd? Thanks

    Roll Cages

    So I've been looking around at roll cages and am wondering if anyone on this forum currently has one in their XJ? In comparing rally car type roll cages to off-road cages I have a few questions if someone would like to give their opinion on it. 1.) It seems like the majority, if not all, of...

    sway bar

    Got it. I guess for that to be a reality I'd have to extend my brake lines to be on the safe side. I'm currently using the 3.5" RE with monotube shocks which IMO are quite stiff .... so maybe less roll that you???

    Shaking at high speeds

    Out of curiosity have you noticed mpg dropping to an all time low when going above 80? I tried it once (something must be out on my jeep) and my mileage went to practically nothing ... could see the gauge moving at a steady rate :-) So I've never went above 75 for the past couple years.
