seriously, one of these threads needs to stay alive in the XJ/MJ section and what better time to get a real one going then now with the creation of the XJ/MJ GD. now, lets keep this going.

for me, all i did today was take pictures of my newly cut front bumper.

I just bought my xj a mate for $100.... Blown engine but Dana 60 front and rear w/4:11 gears 8" lift... 33s and rims... Can't complain. Too much... Time to swap some stuff over! Woot woot!

Filled the Cherokee up all the way.
It showed 1/8th of a tank left, only took 12 gallons.
The tank is 20 gallon so that means it isn't the most accurate, not really surprising.
And then I saw a zj go by with flashy 20" chrome rims and tiny ultrathin tires.
/burns eyes out.
Wish the light was red at the time so I could've gotten a picture.

Lol... I just "filled" mine up too.... Empty, below the line and it only took 12 gallons... I don't get it... Maybe I should stop basing my fuel mileage on a 20 gal tank.... Lmao

Go stroker!! There's less to worry about. Swapping the v8 in "right", means a lot of drivetrain work, reinforcing the unibody, etc.... Plus, i6 motors are just cool.

It seems expensive even to do a v6 conversion... I wanted too... But I did get 248700 miles on my i6 so far...

I hate to quote myself, but I found a loose bolt on track bar... Thanks les shwab... Appreciate the horrible job on both my jeeps... I had to bring it back 2 times... Both of them! Customer service can suck pretty bad these days....

Pulled the pan last night and found 7 bits of #4 piston laying in the oil pan. Now I know where my knock was coming from.

That's always fun...

Nateyz2000, have you considered leaf liner? I've never used it but I heard it works well. My leafs are a straight line, so I can stuff pretty easy lol.

I have never heard of it... Lol guess I need to research... Or... I can just take the leafs and springs off the other xj I am picking up today... Hmm....
