1. above a few posts i posted a picture of the engine and a broken part...anyone know what it is?
2. I am thinking about getting a Chiltons repair manual or something like it...anyone have a suggestion on a repair manual. My jeep runs, but i want to change a few things and have no experience.

Def get the repair manual for your year rig it comes in handy. As for the pic I don't have that specific setup and I don't wanna say the ccv cause the plug towards the front looks like it

What should I do first?
Did the fluid purge when the pedal plunged? From your description, it sounds like something's wide open (line, bleeder, caliper piston or wheel cylinder). I know that you know your way around a Jeep. Need I ask if you inspected each corner and the lines that lead to them? Where's the wet spot? How about doing a pump and bleed, after bench-bleeding the master (as-if you were just putting in a new one yourself)?

Not really.. as long as it suits your needs. I always prefer the stock-look, to anything aftermarket. But, you get a lot more out of your speakers with the better crossovers and amplification from aftermarket heads. If you ever plan to add subs or anything, its pretty much a must.

I have a 2000 xj 4.0l and I have to replace the power steering pump. Is there anything that I need to know before replacing it? I just need any pointers I can get. Thanks

Default Opinion on Leaf Springs vs Lift

I am 13894325% sure I need new leaf springs as I can barely seat two people in the rear seat and hit a bump with out rubbing.

But my question is, would you guys prefer to buy new leafs, or just throw more money at it and get a small lift (1.5-2") Which I was thinking about doing already. But the springs right now are for sure on my to do list.

Yea, I am still thinking about it, but isn't that the height at which I will have to start considering SYE, Transfer case drop, and new shocks?

But I'm checking out some of these prices, and these are ridiculous for such a small lift. This is also my first lift experience, so I am still not to sure what to be looking at. Think I should throw this question on the Lift and tire thread?
