    Just Wondering

    The racks are OK for light duty use, but a frame mounted type unit like the Garvin Wilderness systems would be much better. More expensive, of course, but it depends on what you wanna use it for. I'd also advise against the shackles. As mentioned, it changes your pinion angles and also messes...

    Best lift to start with?

    If you're going to regear anyway, why not run 33's? We do OME/JKS hybrid packages all the time for just that purpose. A 2.5" coil along with the 1.25" body lift is perfect for 33's- plus a 33" tire with the right wheel combo is where you get that classic tough jep look from.8) Looks like this...

    Any cheap way to get longer brake lines on my TJ?

    YJ lines are just fine. They are bent slightly different at the caliper end, but it's no problem to bend that hard line end slightly (carefully) to work. Stainless lines are also good, and may or may not be cheaper, depending on where you buy. Some are DOT approved, while some are not. Of...

    shock/Tire for washboard dirt raods

    For the best ride quality, Old Man Emu is just about unbeatable. 31" tires are not a problem for the axles you have, unless you are really crazy with the skinny pedal. For tires, stay with a load range "C" first of all. I've also owned several sets of the BFG AT's. They aren't bad, but I've...

    won't stay in 4 low

    Does the jeep have a body lift? The t-case shifter linkage IS adjustable. If you can hold it in low, it sounds like an adjustment will fix it. Your 2000 came with the dana 30 axle in front and either a D35 or D44 in back. You can call the service dept at any jeep dealer with your VIN# and...

    fitting 35's w/only 3in body lift

    As mentioned before- you do NOT wanna run 35's on stock rims. Those tires need more room behind them to steer. You need different rims or spacers. 99% on road, yet it doesn't go over 45mph? A 3" suspension lift by itself isn't enough to fit 35's adequately either, without some serious...

    XJ Snorkle & Roof basket

    We have a sweet bumper, but it's a non-winch style. For guys who don't intend to run a winch, a bumper like this allows a much better approach angle on the trail than a winch style can. There are a LOT of choices out there in a winch bumper. You'll wanna look at what works for you. ARB Bull...

    XJ Snorkle & Roof basket

    We have a new snorkel available for the XJ's from Airflow. Info here: http://www.dpgoffroad.com/airflowsnorkels.htm I would also agree with the Garvin/Wilderness racks. They are as good a rack as you can get for the money.

    wrangler rims on a xj?

    Stock XJ wheels are generally a 15x7 with 5.25" BS. TJ wheels are usually 15x8 with 5.5" BS. Are you going to run larger tires? The 5.5" BS moves the tire INBOARD 1/4". When running bigger tires, you want a lower BS number, which moves the tire outboard. This provides more clearance for turning...

    death wobble woes...

    Yep. A good ajustable trackbar and a good set of aftermarket control arms (JKS, RE) are a good place to start.
