GAH!!! The plague continues. Finally having followed your advice and replacing the tcu fuse, my speedometer isn't working now. Thinking I may have damaged it when I had the dash taken apart, or is there an electrical issue I should look into

It's cable operated. Check the connections for tightness.

I have a dilemma i was hoping someone else could chime in. i have a 2001 4x4 xj stickshift i just replaced all 7 u joints with MOOG super strength joints except on the rear driveshaft where it connects to the slip yoke. Ok so rockauto, o-reilly, and autozone all told me that the ujoint was a different size than the rest. all were 280 u-joints except for the one connected to the slip yoke is a 270. well pulled it all apart and its a 280 as well. Am i missing something? ive searched and searched with no luck. does anyone else have 2 different size u joints on their cherokee??

Buying OME soonish
So I am gonna be in the market soon for a OME 2" lift. I wanted to keep my Jeep pretty much stock but my suspension is 23 years old. I already have 235/75R15 all terrain tires which are rubbing on full turns. For the time and money it seems worth it to get a 2" lift. Everything I read about OME is great ride and they are highly recommended.
So my question is where is the best deal on OME? I know Quadratec sells the kit for $870. http://www.quadratec.com/products/76090_80X_PG.htm But are there other places that can beat that price?

The rubber on my passengers side drag link end is cracked, and also on the drivers side tie rod end. What should i do? Can i just replace the ball joints? Do i need a new drag link? Thanks guys

Lol, thats quite a general question there sean. Stock gears are good for stock xjs.
Its when you add 31"+ tires that you start to notice a decrease in power and mpg from your jeep with stock gearing, thats why people regear, to try and get back to stockish power/mpg.
So whats your question?
