    Anyone know where to get rear brake hard line nuts?

    After a rear line geysered on my, I'm replacing all my brake lines, hard and soft. It seems that all the lines take the same size fittings, except for the two fittings that go into each rear drum/cylinder. These seem to have a few extra threads and the hex part where you crank to get it out...

    Trans mount orientation?

    Hey Gang, Swapped my engine and trans mounts recently and when I went to drain/filter change the trans oil, I noticed that I couldn't even get my thinnest 10 mm betwixt the oil pan and the trans mount. Then I noticed that the mount itself sort of has a curved side and straight side. I put the...

    What the H headers are these and how many weekends will it take?

    Hey Gang, Started researching replacing the cracked exhaust manifolds. I knew at least one was cracked, so I found a set of slightly used ebay headers about two years ago, with O2s attached. After reading about how much of a pain in the a$$ it was to replace, they stayed on the shelf. Well...

    Warn Manual Hubs - No click OK?

    Hey Gang, Installed a set of brand-new Warn hubs a bit ago after my auto-hubs gave up the ghost. I installed per instructions, but I noticed that while there is a definite 'click' when I unlock the hubs for 2WD, when I lock them for 4WD, there is no audible click. The 4WD does work despite...

    Off-roading For Beginners - Bring Your Own Tonka Truck

    Hey Gang, Got the chance to try out Team O'Neil's TrailCraft Off-Roading School recently. Had a great time, learned a bunch of new stuff. I've been stage rallying for years, but off-roading is new to me. It's a looong read, I know. Good for a rainy day. Cheers, Kris

    Diy Headlight Restoration - No More Cataracts!

    This is over on my build thread as well, but thought I'd toss it in here if anyone's interested. No more cataracts! Finally got around to restoring my headlight lenses. Drove at night for the first time in a long time and thought I forgot to turn the lights on. Turns out they just had...

    2nd Gen - For Sale 2005+ Wheel Spacers

    Hey Gang, Have a set of wheels spacers that I bought for my Gen 1, but they are actually Gen 2 and I can't return. Paid $103 for them, will take $65. I am in CT. Willing to ship, but most likely cost-prohibitive. They are solid, heavy, brand-new, and never mounted. Description is here...

    Sally - Back Story And Build Thread, First Gen

    Sally... Sally was born in 2002 as an XE WC, or World Champion Edition, whatever that means. Either way, she's a true champeen in my book. A good friend of mine bought her straight off the lot in 2002 brand-new, complete with the Xterra bike, internal bike rack, and neoprene Xterra-branded...

    Anyone Run A Badland (hf) 12,000 Lb Winch With Shrockworks Bumper?

    Hey Gang, I was gifted a winch recently but it was for an ATV application, so I'm going to be upgrading the poundage. My budget is Harbor Freight. I was looking at the Badland 12k with the synthetic line, but then looked on the Shrockworks site and they say 9,500 max for the bumper. Has anyone...

    New guy, new forum, need help...

    Hey Gang, Picked up an ‘02 XE ‘World Champion’ edition five years ago from a friend, who had a not-so-good result with texting and driving. Anywho, picked it up for a $1,000 and have been modifying ever since. Got the 4x4Parts 3-inch with AALs and a Shrock front bumper to boot (replacement...
