I swapped in some rear shocks from a WJ into one of my '98 XJs. I did swap out the bushings to ones that fit the XJ. I might have taken out the old ones. Also, some of the Hardware stores have a selection of long steel bushings.

I used the specific tool. I tapped it in place. Also, try and clock it like the original. Also, I remember using some type of sealant, locktite stuff. I think the same stuff I used for the freeze plugs.

I only did the flat surfaces. Then used the stock. There is some 'discussions' on weather a full coverage or spot coverage. I plan to 'fill in' the 'depressions' on the hood. Then use the stock piece to cover that up. I have to work on the fuel tank, fuel pump on the Avalanche. I have fuel leaking. I think its one of the plastic lines. After that I might do some experimenting.

I also intend to add some Dynamat Under hood material.

I put some of the peel and stick sound deadening on the hood of my Avalanche. Then put on the factory hood insulation. I think it helped a bit.

I would wonder about a Late Model wiring upgrade or an aftermarket controller. Or swap in the new Chrysker straight 6.

Harmonic Balancer?

40 HP would be stroker territory. 20 HP, maybe. The Jeep 4.0L was done fairly good from the factory. Some will say 15-20 HP from the head. Hornbrod did get 12 HP at the rear wheel from a 99+ Intake. So, 16 HP at the Flywheel. His motor was a stroker though. On a stock motor you might see 5-8 HP. That is a might. A bore TB did help with some drivability issues on my lifted '98 XJ. Mainly on incline grades in WV. Regearing to 4.10s with 31's help too.

Also, NAPA might have individual plugs for sale.

Someone did a Ford 5.0 Comanche a while back on this board. It was Fly Yellow. The V6 with an aluminum block would be awesome. Less weight. Plenty of power.

Must be a 'Dog Day Afternoon'. Well, (Some)One Flew Over the Cuckoo's Nest' to ask such a question. Yeah, Its 19, 19 ,1975. And if Bruce had won an Oscar, well he would have needed a Bigger Boat. And it was just 5. Sort of like the Year. Of course a 1975 Bricklin SV-1. Maybe it needs a stable mate. A Lancia Stratos. For some Championship caliber. 'We are the Champions, Of the World'. For 'One of these night' and no 'Jive Talking', a Stutz Bearcat. Since it might not have fine Carinthian leather, we'll get the Barry White shag carpeted trunk option. Oh, we need a handy go getter. Is its Wayne's World? Its party time. Keeping it AMC. A Pacer. Well, we will need to 'Pick Up the Pieces'. Must be a Jeep. So, a J10, J20 or 400? What to choose?

Jeep 2, Japan 0. How's that for a World Cup.

I did have an issue with an SKF unit bearing. I thought it was the Shaefler unit. The tire puckered a bit. Both were purchased from NAPA.

Um, Star Wars New Hope. Blade Runner. Jaws. RUSH. Alien. Deer Hunter. Indiana Jones. The A Team.
