do you know how much wear it takes before a low rpm bearing failure will throw the rod?

a lonnnnng time of improper oiling.

 

Only if you have more air coming into the engine and have the ECU remapped for that air/fuel mix.

 

If you want a shock buy a oil filter cutter and cut open a few used ones not all brands are the same.The 3 i seen have the oil pressure problems starting the filters where full of gunk.One was only on the car a week the other two maybe 2 months.I'll stick to napa gold,wix or even motorcraft.

 

Great thread...Have to add a little more of my experiance on the whole no sway bar deal.
Pulled sway bars off the xj and i can truthfully say i could not even tell that they were off...it has very little if any body roll.

Pulled the ones of my zj, and the thing has a ton of body roll...not like it may roll over body roll, but pretty bad.

From what i found out it has to do more with what shocks you are running...the zj has stock shocks and the xj has OME shocks which are much stiffer so therefore giving less body roll.

 

I meant pounding them out as in beating them out with a hammer and fishing new hardware through.

It was not as easy as it was alluded to in most descriptions.

Also, I must be a little guy.

Do you ever drive on the interstate?

 

350K is pretty long?

 

Air hammer... Took me 3 minutes.

 

so you have never been on a hwy late at night when it was empty and just drove you jeep hard? Im not saying all the time, and i do drive like an "adult" but sometimes its nice to be a little reckless! When your in an appropriate place!

 

Rumor: if there is an electrical fire in the xj and u have no water or way to put it out pee on it..
False...peeing on electrical fire is just dum and painful!!!!
Lolz

 

idk about you but my jeep gets alittle scary at 70+, big tires dont like going that fast and usually there is wind that pushes me around. Not to mention my steering is alittle different after each trip to park. Going fast in a lifted box is just not fun.

Shocks dampen sudden jolts to the suspension, springs is what holds the body square to the axles. My suspension is soft yet i run stiffer shocks to better control weight when Im constantly moving. I get lots of body roll w/o the sway bar yet can feel every bump in the road and trail, which is a small price to pay to prevent the jeep from bouncing down the road fully loaded to the roof

Mythbusters did this, you pee doesnt create a constant stream to complete a circuit.

 

I've gone up to 150 before, but i'm scared to even hit 80 in my XJ. It's not meant for it dude.

 

Ever Pee on an electric fence? I'm calling on Mythbusters.

 

thank you

 

not the jeep. I purpose built a summer rod for filling in the go fast, go sideways, lift wheels void the jeep leaves lol

 

12 volts is not enough to shock you unless you lick the battery while grounded.
