Everyone should save this on their computer if they don't already have it. This should be a sticky, lots of answers to common questions here. I can't remember where I picked it up.

As far as I know they all work. I tried to save it as a word attachment but it was too big. Try copying the links that wouldn't work and pasting it in your browser. Let me know if that works.

I couldn't get the first one to open either, however I copied this
http://www.madxj.com/ and was able to find the USING YJ BRAKE LINES FOR LIFTED XJ article. For some reason the direct link doesn't work.

I'll have to go in and do a little editing on the list and update the links.

Wow, incredible info here! Lots of very useful tips. I found the sand driving one really helpful. I have ridden with people driving on the beach when I was younger but I have never done it myself. I was clueless on how I should drive apart from "drive slower and careful"

Lots of great info, I had planned on doing some of those including the gauge swap, closed pressure to open cooling system and fender trimming!

Thanks!

ps: I agree sticky would be great on this.

I'll have to go in and do a little editing on the list and update the links.

Looks like wherever it was copied from had the display abbreviated. any of them copied with "..." in them will be broken.

http://www.madxj.com/MADXJ/technica.../ValveCover.htm is the link above, that doesn't work.

i think this is what it was supposed to be : http://www.madxj.com/MADXJ/technical...ValveCover.htm

edit the forum has shortened the display. you would need to right click on the link and go to "properties" to get the full link....

here is the full text to put into the address bar. maybe this time it will work, apparently the "remove link" button doesn't work.....

madxj.com/MADXJ/technical/technicalfiles/JAvalveCover/ValveCover.htm


ok...final edit. what a pain! add "www." in front of the above text for it to work....


great source of info, thanks for posting!!

If anyone feels like working on the broken links let me know. I just don't have a lot of time right now. I can e-mail you the word document if you'd like. Otherwise... It'll take me awhile...
