I did the same thing to my old XJ but with the 2", I found that the intake was too restricted. Did you notice a difference on yours? On my new one I have run a 3" dryer hose from the back of the...

Loioks like fun. Nice looking rig!
that looks like a blast offroading something that big
Nice looking ride. Definitely a good start.
Looks good. Is the HSP adjustable trackbar a modified oem unit or completely aftermarket?
That things pretty sweet. Little bit too much yellow for my liking but hey.... to each his own
Mine does the same thing. I'm thinking its minor blow by being that its 18 years old. I wouldn't worry about it too much.
I don't like the location of the intake because it seems to me that sucking in water could be a problem and seeing as how my rig is kinda vertically challenged, I chose to run some 3" dryer hose from...
I just put a factory t-case skid on for now. I have nothing else as far as protection goes but reading through this thread has certainly given me some ideas. Thanks.
I noticed a couple days ago that my front axle u-joints are pooched so I've been looking into what options I have as far as upgrades. It is fairly commonly known that the newer XJ's came with bigger...
Do you have the service manual? Is there a torque spec for the rocker arm nut or do you have to set them up with feeler guages? if there is a torque spec (which I think there is), torque them down...
I drove through it. I've driven around it before but there's a huge drop to the right of it so its kinda sketchy.
How much can you move them side to side? If they just wiggle a little its probably because the valves that belong to those rockers are probably closed so there's no pressure on them compared to the...
4" should be good as long as you don't go with tires that are too wide. When I was looking for mine, I did some asking around and reading and found that 3.75" or 4" was good for a 33x12.50. I...
Measure from the Wheel mounting surface to the back edge of the rim. Those are probably around 4".
They were taken by a friend on her digital camera. Not sure what kind it is or anything.
Here's some of my most recent pics:
Messing around on sand hills just off of the Kettle Valley Railway outside Princeton, BC.

The tag on my rear cover is missing but the one on the front of both of the xj's I've had have been there and easily legible. I'm sure you have already looked on the front too but I figured I'd post...
I would definitely have it checked out either way. Keep us posted as to what the mechanic finds with it. I'm pretty curious. Good luck!
That sucks. Just one of those ever so painful learning experiences. I've had my fair share of those over the years of tinkering with vehicles. I try not to think of how much money I have blown on my...
Stranger things have happened I guess but if the cat was plugged bad enough that it would cause the engine to overheat, there would be a very noticeable decrease in power. It would feel like it is...
Thats really bizarre then. Out of curiosity more than anything else, I would ask him if he checked the block for warpage but it shouldn't be and he probably did. If the head checked out ok and you...
That is pretty close. I would be looking at the head gasket or cracked head as the root of the problem from reading your other threads (you mentioned oil getting pushed out of the dipstick tube I...
Assuming that the head was true and has no cracks, the gasket could have been improperly installed or torqued down. Like xjjeepthing said, the block will very rarely warp but if you do take it apart...
If your cat was plugged, you would notice a definite decrease in power. Does it feel under powered? Has the engine overheated to the point that the guage went into the red?
I find it highly...
