Powertrax no-slip is by far the quietest
Aussie's are very highly recommended also

Tail Light Conversion help!!!
Ok so first of many posts to come... I got the DesertFab taillight housings and am trying to wire them into my 98 xj.. (I got the reverse lights fine..) Problem is the XJ has 1 bulb for Stop/Running and One for blinker. The light that comes with the Housing is a standard 6 in (Non LED) oval Stop,Tail, Turn. AFter playing with a Test light for an hour here's what I got so far. (Top Bulb)- Brake,Running Ground wires.. (Middle Bulb)- Signal and Ground. The oval light has White=Ground, Black=Tail Red=Signal.. I feel like I have tried every combination to get everything working properly. Does any one know what the proper wiring would be? Also do I need a converter for this setup cause DF is telling me I dont... Please... Someone..

I have a 96 2.5l. Can I swap in a 4.0L from 97 and up XJs? What all do I need from the donor XJ in case i find one? OR would it just be easier to rebuild the 2.5?

Motor mounts need to be relocated. ECU and wiring harness swapped. You're also going to need to swap the transmission and TCU, since the AX-5/30RH that comes behind the 2.5L engine isn't strong enough for the 4.0L engine.
