Remember that trailer GVW includes the trailer weight, so a 7,000 GVW trailer is probably the minimum you should try to get away with, 10k would be better. Longer trailers typically tow better and allow you to get the jeep weight over the trailer axles. My father in law has had the tj/trailer...

I did mine last year. I have a set of Factory Service Manuals. I did find a TJ FSM for the AX-15 online somewhere. Some googleing should get it for you, that will take you through it step by step. *edit* try this http://oljeep.com/tcase/jeeptransmission_AX15.pdf There is a "5th gear upgrade"...

So since this winter maybe Jan 2018 the jeep has been weird on the road. Not that it has ever been a smooth calm ride but it handled ok and predictable. When I rebuilt the transmission I guess I finally got the exhaust all sealed up and now it accelerates decently. However, since this...

So we went to Moab 5/2. The highs were low 80's. My engine occasionally would go above 210, and the electric fan would rarely come on. That is better than before, the electric fan would run almost continuously on the trail when it was warm. I still have my heat soak (heat sink) issue so when...

Now that I am at a computer, my hydro assist ramblings start at post # 140 on my build thread, there a few more posts after that. https://www.rme4x4.com/threads/nathan-and-tanjas-99-xj-build-up.83436/page-7 Power Steering pump is is 2001 Grand Cherokee with hydrolic fan 4.7L "Overland...

If you have hydro assist you won't need the Durango box. I have some pictures somewhere in my build thread. It is one of those things that seems pretty daunting but when you go to do it is pretty straightforward. I have wj (zj?) HD pump (the one with the hydro fan) , drilled pump fitting...

Just out of curiosity what year XJ are we talking about? Electrical problems suck, and it seems like Jeeps have plenty of common ones. Nathan

I am so jelous of how light that thing I am going to be so mad when you weigh that thing, I bet you are at least 1500lbs lighter than my rig. Are you going to remove the rear windows? Nathan

Sweet RockMonkey cut his floor it seemed like it came out nice. The Clayton kit I have the front crossmember with the transmission mount is removable, but the rear one is not and sometimes I wish it was. I have to get my np231/d300 twisted just right to get the rear yoke to go around the...

I went through this a few years back. Somewhere I read "you can receive with a coat hanger for an antenna, but to transmit you need to have a good antenna that is tuned" There is a lot to good antenna placement and length. As with most things, you will end up compromising antenna placement...

I am not sure if the 94's booster is different, but I am running a master cylinder for a 1998 Dodge Ram 2500. I needed to make a custom pushrod which is a grade 8 bolt cut to length and then a SS sleeve on it just in case it wants to bend. If I remember right the bigger MC is only required to...

a few (dumb) reasons mainly because I think that I shouldn't need the HD fan clutch, then when the weather gets warm I get nervous and put it on also because the last 3 years I have dyno'd the thing in the spring and want all the measurable power and the noise, the HD fan clutch is louder...

The uppers for the Clayton kit have a little bend in them to go around the floor, if you get to hitting the floor you could re-do your uppers with a little bend in them. If you want I can take a picture of mine. I am not sure if you are planing a cross member between the two upper link mounts...

Your 2.5 exhaust all the way back that is nice, with my suspension and axles I am lucky that mine is as big as 2.25 inch all the way back. So I don't know that a throttle body would help me much. I do have a 2000-2001 banks header but that was required to get my exhaust routed decently. Nathan

That is usually what I recommend, chances are it all needs to replaced anyway... (after getting rid of the OEM TRE style drag link of course) Nathan

Well I am not happy with my dyno numbers, I gained 2hp with the timing advance and getting my exhaust sealed up. 137hp at rear wheels. It is weird it is running so much better, I can pull my heavy xj out in traffic and not feel like I am accelerating in a golf cart. They did say that my Air...

So for the summer I have been running the 98 ZJ Napa 272310 fan clutch. In the winter I run the OEM fan clutch. I went to install my HD ZJ fan clutch and could not install it without moving the radiator, I could have installed it but the fan would have been much closer to the radiator than I...

I am going to the dyno again today. The most noticeable difference on mine was to advance the ignition timing. We will see what gains that gets me, I also think I got my exhaust all sealed up. For my 99 to advance the timing I had to modify the crank position sensor mount, basically you move...

On my bronco I thought I had a push rod length issue, I had a friend machine a longer pushrod and it didn't help I never figured out why the longer pushrod didn't do anything. I don't recall what the issue ended up being, I had tons of issues with that setup over the years. (I had a firewall...

I like those, why haven't I seen those before... The zerks don't stick out that much, with the over the knuckle TRE's I would have to be really messed up to hit them on a rock. I do have a couple of zerks on Johnny Joints that I am surprised I have never scraped off... Thanks Nathan
