    “The ‘Jeep Thing’ has a mind of its own. It is not something that has a meaning or can be put into words. It is just the feeling a Jeep owner feels when owning a Jeep or having owned a Jeep and it can always be brought back just talking ‘Jeep’, no matter where you […]

  • Throttle Body Removal and Cleaning

    As our XJs, ZJs, or anything with a 4.0 age they tend to have a build up of deposits in different places in the engine.  Filters get clogged up and need replacing, lifters can have gunk build up, and the throttle body and IAC can have a build up inside causing rough idles and a […]

  • Becoming Immortal

    Every once in a while, you hear the term “immortal” applied to a vehicle. This doesn’t mean parts don’t wear out (wouldn’t that be amazing!), but rather that the vehicle itself is timeless.

    All XJ’s use a complete hub assembly. This means that the hub and bearing are one unit as opposed to separate units where just the bearing can be pulled, and then a new one pressed in. In 1999, Jeep changed the hub assemblies due to changing from composite rotors to cast rotors, so be sure […]

    One of the easiest modifications on our beloved 4.0’s is a fuel injector swap. For some, this may sound like a technical and daunting task, but rest assured, it’s actually quite simple.

Brake Pads and Rotors

When I first started working on my XJ I knew very little about what to do.  It was one thing to read it in a book or on a forum, but any visuals I could get would be a HUGE help to me feeling like I could tackle something myself.  Here’s a short video on […]

Lockers, rock rails, a 2″ lift and 31″ MTs

“I don’t think she’s gonna make it.” “Something’s gettin’ broken on that thing.” “Kevin, don’t pick up another rock!” We XJ owners have heard it all, but somehow we always manage to follow the overbuilt TJs and JKs just fine… This video illustrates several points:  XJs are as capable as any other Jeep.  Lockers are […]
