Changing the water pump on your 4.0LAs my faithful XJ has grown older over the years, it’s started to show signs of its age (and probably the results of all the trail use it’s seen). The radiator has been replaced, the exhaust manifold cracked and was replaced, the power windows and locks are slowing, and most recently, the water pump started […] 11 comments |
Custom4x4Fabrication’s doube-tube XJ rocker guardsArticle by Patrick Brown Rocker guards are one of the “necessary” upgrades for an XJ that plans to spend any time offroad, particulary around rocks. Living in Colorado, I spend my share of time on rocky trails and get nervous at the site of large rocks in my path that are hoping to eat my […] Comments are off for this post |
4x4mods.com colored gauge overlay kitThe instructions that 4x4mods.com includes with their gauge overlay kits are probably the best I’ve ever seen. They’re detailed, they’ve got full color photos… They’re so good that I hadn’t planned to do a write-up on the kit because there really wasn’t much I could go over than they didn’t already cover. However, we get […] Comments are off for this post |
DPG Adjustable XJ Bumpstop PlatesInstallation date: 9/14/03 I know what some of you are thinking, “bumpstops? why would I want extended bumpstops? I don’t need bumpstops…” I know because I used to think that same way. Well, extended bumpstops aren’t just for folks who want to run big tires but don’t want to do the trimming required to properly […] 1 comment |
Poison Spyder Customs’ TJ RockerKnockersI helped a friend (who’s also named Jason) install this pair of RockerKnockers on his TJ, and I have to start out by saying, WHAT A PAIN!! As we neared the end of the install we were both thinking that for the money, time, and effort, he’d have been better off getting a set of […] Comments are off for this post |
Rubicon Express 5.5″ Extreme Duty XJ kitWhat really sets the RE kit apart from other standard short-arm lifts is control arm drop bracket kit. These brackets lower the upper and lower control arms about 4″, lessening their angles and resulting in greatly improved ride and handling both on and offroad. 3 comments |
John M’s Zebra ZJWhen John sent me some pics of his Zebra ZJ, I knew I had to feature it on Jeepin.com. Here’s what John has to say about his jaw-dropping rig… Comments are off for this post |
33-Engineering’s 5.25″ TJ dash speaker platesIn our quest to upgrade out TJ’s sound system without spending big bucks, we decided the cheezy factory 4×6’s in the dash had to go. We’d originally planned to put in a set of Boston Acoustics 4×6’s until I stumbled across the first offering from 33-Engineering (OffroadToyStore’s fabrication division) — 5.25″ speaker adapter plates for […] 1 comment |
DPG Swaybar Disco CablesInstallation date: 6/15/03 JKS swaybar disconnects are in my opinion the best disconnects you can get, the only problem is if you’ve got an XJ, they don’t come with any good way to secure them up and out of the way once you disconnect to go wheelin’. For TJ’s JKS includes some retainer studs that […] Comments are off for this post |
