Come along, jerk strap, and tire chains
The definition of 'bad situation' is in the eye of the beholder. I have been
in places where 33" tires, 4 wheel drive, and a 9,000lb winch was barely

You can get a cherokee with an 8 and 1/4" rear or a cast D44. All XJ's after
2000 have the cast 8 and 1/4", and some with the towing package before then
have the 8 and 1/4. The D44 was a special...

3 inch lift for '98 XJ - advice, please
3" Shouldn't cause driveline vibes. If your U-joints are old, change 'em to
keep from being stranded on the side of the road.
You're stock control arms will be fine. I'm not sure what you mean by...

Do a Google search for '5R55E'. That's the transmission model number. That
alone will be enough to make you forget ever buying an Explorer. It's a
shame, because they are very comfortable, nice...

'88 XJ won't start
While your hands are dirty clean the ground strap that runs from the back of
the head to the firewall. The CPS is your most likely culprit.

Oil Leak resulting from motor mount repl.
Replace the filter. As a rule of thumb, unless the fitler is near new, if
you have to remove it for some reason, go ahead and replace it.

8 1/4" Brakes
Anyone know if my 2000 XJ 4.0 with the 8 and 1/4" rear and factory tow
package has the 9" or 10" rear brakes?
Thanks,

Will a RE 3.5 lift void my warranty?
Yes your warranty will probably be voided on those parts. Just keep your
stock springs and control arms and if you have a big problem with any of the
compenents, switch your suspension back....

Broken Motor Mount
Some XJ's have a skid plate similar to the YJ's. It's on the 'off road skid
package'. My first XJ had it, my YJ had it, my subsequent 2 XJ's and my TJ
did not have it.

I belive that's what I said. Your vehicleS are an exception, because they
are maintained. 99% of vehicles on the road are NOT properly maintined.
