2001 XJ I put a new set of leaf springs on the vehicle to get it back up to stock height and get rid of the sag. I also put new shocks on at the same time (munroe sensatracs). Whenever I go over a bump the rear end clunks. I can't seem to find it exactly and I don't see any metal that has been scratched. Anyone have any ideas where it could be coming from? I'm thinking maybe the shocks themselves but I can't find anywhere on the net that anyone else has had a problem with them. I also put on new shackles for the rear and new bushings for the front and rear springs.

High river, Alberta? I'm in calgary. Anyway, here's something that a guy that runs a paintball store welded up in his spare time. Image Not Found

Hey guys I just bought a 2001 XJ as a daily driver. I'm going to keep it stock for now but I'd like to get rid of the sag in the rear. My idea was either to bring the leaves into a spring shop and get them to re-arc them or buy new ones and arc them an inch or so higher than stock. I'd like to try to keep the ride quality on it as smooth as possible if I can. Maybe air shocks with it? I'm not sure. I've had everyone tell me something different so far on other sites. They're likely to sag in the future anyway so would putting an extra leaf make it ride a whole lot worse or would it be very noticeable? Thanks

hook them up directly to the battery. that'll tell you if the light itself works. Then narrow it down to switches and fuses

They actually had an amphibious version called the Seep and one that was light enough to be dropped out of planes called the Fleep

They were originally called General Purpose or GP for short and GP later got shortened to Jeep.

so I just take off the bolts for the bumper and the bolts that hold the bumper on will also hold the hitch on?

I'm curious how much I can tow with my bumper and how much could I do before I'd have to get a hitch? Could it do a 4' enclosed trailer ok? And if I got a hitch that'd be a good spot for the rear to get towed out of a mudhole wouldn't it? (new to offroad) For the front I was looking at these http://motionoffroad.com/catalog/index.php?main_page=product_info&cPath=10_47&products_id=90

Whats the name of those rims? I can't find them in 15"

I live in Canada and we got free health care as most of you probably know. I don't have a wife or kids but for myself I've never had to wait more than 30 minutes for an appointment for anything. Any time I travel to the states I get health insurance. I wouldn't want to have to pay for anything at the rates you guys do. That's ridiculous. Alberta is the only province that has to pay $44/month for the health care but they might be doing away with that soon but they also don't have provincial tax. Their tax is 5%.

hahaha the holy **** handle. haha ka-donkadonk. you guys are idiots. I love it. Mine never came with a handle on the drivers or passengers side and I never happened to notice one on a xj or mj so I just thought they never made them. I'll have a look next time I'm in the PnP. Thanks for the help guys

you say you mirrored the passenger handle? Mirrored what? What did you use for the handle?

I've had some complaints about my truck mostly from girls saying "god it's tough to get into this contraption!" Sure I tell them to stop whining or whatever but has anyone ever put a handle in the passenger side on the A-pillar like most half tons come with? I see some knockouts in the A-pillar panel for them. Is there a vehicle that has them that'll just mount on nice and easy?

Yeah the factory rollbars came with brackets right around the frame. Tough as nails. I had to cut the truck in half literally to get it from the junkyard. 4 bolts down through the box and then 6 through the frame on each of the front posts

-48 would be better I guess, but I'll wait for a chinook and it'll be like +10 in a week or so

alright, thanks guys. I'll try that once I get something better than -49°C weather

I drove it before the master was installed but it leaked. If you had your foot on the pedal it would slowly push to the floor. It feels like it's grabbing lower than it used to

My clutch grabs almost right when you let the pedal off the floor. Most other vehicles I've driven grab somewhere in the middle but this is grabbing right at the bottom. It's got a new master cylinder and there is no fluid leaks. Would this need a new clutch or a new slave cylinder? Also I bled the lines once hoping it was an air pocket. Vehicle is a 1992 MJ

My dome lights come on when I open the door if I have them flipped down. The light itself rotates, maybe you didn't try that. The blank spots beside the steering column are for switches. The left side was for fog lights and something else, can't quite remember. And the right side is to switch the tranny from comfort to power, and for the rear wiper (for XJ).

Looks good man! I like! What all is involved in that if you're not changing the fenders? Is there any work with changing the lights or anything or is it basically bolt-on?

would bypassing that valve mess with your A/C at all?

If it's freezing cold out you might have some water frozen in your lines. If that's the case try a bottle of gas line antifreeze.

There's a much easier way that wouldn't cost you more than $10 and an hour or two of your time like lostissues said. Your fuel pump runs on a relay so just turn the relay off every time you get out of the vehicle. A great switch for this is the kill switch for the power windows that you can find in any cherokee limited version. All you need to do is cut the wire going to the coil on the relay and run it to the switch. Done. If you want better details let me know.

to flush the heater core do i need to drain all the coolant out of the lines first or will only a little bit spill out when i disconnect the lines to the core?

92 MJ, 4.0L My Heater doesn't blow hot air like it should. It comes out lukewarm at best. The blower works fine. The door that opens when you slide the selector from cold to hot works fine. The thermostat has been replaced. The hoses going into and out of the heater core both feel the same temperature to the touch. The engine is not overheating and the temperature gauge sits roughly in the middle after it gets warmed up. I'm running out of ideas here. Someone told me that maybe a coolant flush would work. I'm not really convinced but I've got nothing else to go with. Any ideas?
