Ok so running a fire call earlier, my passenger side rear tire slid off the road while making a right turn while accelerating hard. I heard the most awful grinding noise coming from the rear of the xj for a split second... I continued on to the fd and never felt any slipping or more grinding or anything. What are the chances i need some new gears? Before i drop the cover and inspect.

So I'm going to replace the head gasket on my 98 XJ. What is the best place to get the gasket/what is a good gasket to get that I won't have to replace in a year. I'm sure there is a big differential in what I can get. I did some minor research and saw that Autozone has a head gasket kit that has all of the gaskets you need when you replace the head for like $99 but I also know that most of what you get there is junk.
Anyone have any recommendations or advice?

I have just recently ordered some shcoks and plan on painting them a different color. I know I'll need to sand and prime before painting. But I'm just wondering what kind of primer or paint I'm going to need. I have only dealt with painting rooms. Not something that will be out in the elements. Any pointers would be appreciated!

New to XJ and CF...
Searched my heart out and for the life of me could not find a write up on how to do a interior swap on a 97+. I am swapping from Grey to TAN, anyone know of a write-up? All I have been able to find is how to swap 97+ into pre-97.
Thanks,
Mick

Rattling/clinking over bumps
My 1989 xj 4x4 is making a weird sound as I go down my driveway over the washboarded section full of small bumps. It almost sounds as though someone tied a key chain or something to the front wheel. (no its not my keychain in yr ignition, I have just the key in it). I've noticed this problem on my truck as well but can't figure out what it is.
It's a high pitch ringing/rattling/clanking. Drivers side I believe, and like I said, reminds me of someone shaking a keychain full of old metal keys.
Thoughts?
