I have an '01 XJ with ~56K that has recently (as far as I can tell) developed a grumbling noise in the rear diff. I haven't popped the cover yet to check it out, but a mechanic friend of mine listened to it while it was jacked up. He couldn't point to the problem, but did say it sounded like...

Okay, about 4 months ago, I put a 2" lift on my '01 XJ. For the past 3 months I've had sporadic wobbling problems and just last week, it took on a whole new life. Now the wobblling has become a violent shake that happens almost every 5 minutes. Here are the steps I've taken: 1. Put on new...

I recently put a cat back exhaust on my 01 XJ. I use it mostly for on-road driving. I was thinking about getting a hi-flow throttle body and cold air intake also. What size throttle body would anyone suggest? I have seen 62-68 mm. Also gave some thought to putting headers on. What's the...

I posted a similar question in another thread, but I have a couple of questions and it's just easier to start a new thread. Here goes: I have a 2001 XJ Sport with a 2" lift. It's my daily driver and rarely goes off-road. 1. Can I comfortably fit 31 x 10.5" tires? 2. I have a buddy that...

Anyone ever done a disk brake conversion? Is it worth it?

I recently put a 2" Daystar lift on my 2001 xj sport. It included front spring spacers and longer rear shackles. I also installed Skyjacker hydro shocks and a Skyjacker track bar w/steering stabilizer. Now, I'm feeling the vehicle wander at speeds above 30mph. I've had one alignment and two...

About 3 weeks ago, I bought a set of 4 wheels & tires from a guy I work with. At 255/60/r17, they're considerably larger than the stock 225/75/r15 wheels that came on the jeep. The problem is, around 51-52 mph the front steering wobbles. If I go faster or slower than this, I generally don't...

Well, the time has come again to change the fluid in my transfer case. Mopar suggests using ATF+4 automatic transmission fluid, but a friend of mine uses Castrol Syntec 5W-50 engine oil because he says the greater viscosity provides better lubrication. Are there pros/cons to this approach...

I know that the K&N FIPK kits are supposed to boost horsepower, but do they help gas mileage at all? For that matter, would a performance exhaust help my mpg either?

RE: Swap in a cruise control? My wife has a '00 WJ laredo and it's starting to have automatic transmission problems. Sometimes it sticks between 2nd and 3rd gear. The RPMs will reach about 4K before it shifts. We haven't taken it to the garage yet as I just found out about this yesterday...

This is not at all a 4 wheeling question: My (stock) 2001 XJ Sport stereo has absolutely no bass. Obviously, I'm looking to upgrade to a better sound system. Would I be better off just hooking up an amp, or should I replace the whole stereo? I'm looking to do this on a budget and this is...

I have a '01 XJ Sport. I'm looking to get a 3" lift kit. Most of the kits I've seen so far have only the add-a-leaf rear springs. Any ideas on (complete) kits with NEW rear springs?

RE: Re: RE: Steam from front end My daily driver is a 2001 XJ Sport with Dana 35c rear axle. I've been told that I have an open differential in the rear. I drive mostly on pavement (rarely off-road) and I'm frustrated that whenever I encounter wet (or even damp) roads both my rear tires spin...
