    General Tech External Fuel Pump Heat Sink Cover

    Have you tried running fuel without ethanol? I have a "heat soak" issue that I have heard that will go away with "real fuel". One is opening up near me, so I am looking forward to summer to try it out. There are a few stations around that have ethanol free fuel, you can google them. Nathan

    Jeep XJ Water Leak

    Not a lot of help but on our 99 XJ the rubber around the window is not really attached on the driver top. (when towing the xj on the trailer I can see it flapping around) I don't believe we have a leak like you are talking about. It sits in the garage a lot and is not a daily driver, but I...

    EcoBoost

    I will mention that to my dad and see if his 3.5l does any different. I would find it hard to believe that it would increase mpg, if Ford could say "premium fuel only" on the truck and that got them .5 mpg better they would do it for CAFE. We have Fiesta with a 1.0L eco boost (I know not at...

    CJ head light upgrades?

    I did a H4 conversion kit on our cherokee. The existing lamps were fairly old and had grinder rust specs in them. Here's a picture of the difference. super easy to install, seems like a good upgrade. I did not do the extra relay or anything, my kit came with bulbs and claimed to be DOT...

    Jeep Nathan and Tanja's 99 XJ Build up

    Here are some pictures of the exhaust, exhaust is really hard to take good pictures of. Here is a shot of the axle truss at full compression, hopefully that is enough space for a big hit. Questions?

    Jeep Nathan and Tanja's 99 XJ Build up

    So I needed some new rubber bump stops and ordered them from qudratec, I also picked up a pair of headlights. Just in time to switch off of Daylight Saving Time I got to test it out. The left is the new, right is old. The picture actually does it justice. This is low beam, high beam is...

    Jeep Nathan and Tanja's 99 XJ Build up

    So I have been wanting to re-re-do the exhaust ever since I had the jeep dyno'd at turbo labs. My exhaust guy to keep the exhaust out of the front yoke ran 1.75 inch pipe for the down pipe. This was heating up the oil pan, I had oil pan temps near 500 degrees. (I ran full synthetic). Joe, at...

    Jeep Nathan and Tanja's 99 XJ Build up

    So after following a couple of buggies around Moab (Thanks Shane) and dropping into a hole that I am surprised did not trigger the air bags, I had a couple of small welds on the front axle crack, and crunched my restrictive exhaust. Since I needed to repair some welds, and swap manifolds...

    Xj upper control arm bushings

    Johnny Joints work and they last. They are rebuildable. They are expensive. They are about $40 each, so keep that in mind when looking at kits, arms etc, My Clayton Long arm Kit has 14 Johnny Joints, so that is about $800 in JJ. Nathan
