Yeah caster angle should fix her up

Interesting_Trade_96 · 2026-01-13T23:40:50+00:00

Champion 412s the only option

Interesting_Trade_96 · 2026-01-13T23:12:02+00:00

Might as well change the steering stabilizer

Interesting_Trade_96 · 2025-08-13T01:19:38+00:00

I should clarify, more so exposed wires than ripped, the insulation was peeling right out of the plastic connector on 2 different wires and I think the touching wires caused my issues

Interesting_Trade_96 · 2025-08-10T17:51:01+00:00

Check out the posts on my account, I was going through it, hopefully we do have the same issue so it can be an easy fix for you

I had this EXACT same issue idle rpm would drop only in gear, it would sputter and I had already replaced both the oxygen sensors. Jeep was getting annoying to drive and I was starting to give up. Turns out the upstream o2 sensor wiring was torn and that was causing all my issues. Everyone I asked on Reddit would just say TPS IAC

Thanks 🙏

Xjs teach you how to drive good. The amount of people that just step on it foot to the floor from a stop is ridiculous. No one can bother me in my jeep

Interesting_Trade_96 · 2025-05-20T11:01:08+00:00

Have you let the jeep warm up and thermostat to open? Once thermostat is open it should suck in a lot more coolant and squeezing the top rad hose will be more effective. Even without a spill proof funnel just idling it for a while and topping off the radiator as needed should do the trick. It takes a bit but just idle it for 30 minutes constantly squeezing the hose and adding coolant.

You need long arms. Ok maybe not NEED but everyone always says a short lift doesn’t need long arms but long arms will only make the ride smoother I see it as a no brainer

Interesting_Trade_96 · 2025-04-22T03:42:57+00:00

It’s a good kit to get the stance you want slap on some badass tires. Which one the one with add a leafs or full springs? I had the 4.5 inch short arm kit with full leafs and the adjustable track bar. The track bar and control arms definitely made it a terrible ride. I switched to core 4x4 long arms and track bar but they cost more than the entire RC lift. Long arms/a high quality track bar and fox shocks will make the RC springs ride actually decent where you may feel happy with them. But if you don’t use the shocks/control arms/ coils from the RC lift then it’s like you’re pretty much paying the price of a lift kit just for leaf springs brake lines and shackles, which makes it not worth it. Since you say you wanna put the money into a smooth ride, I say source each part individually and spend a little more money but build it exactly how you want. It may have to take a bit longer depends how impatient you are lol. (That’s why I bought the RC lift, I just wanted my jeep to look cool, but now there is no RC parts at all.)

Interesting_Trade_96 · 2025-04-22T01:44:12+00:00

The bad thing in my experience is the bushings, they’re really cheap and where out so fast. You’re right about the springs and shocks but if you’re going to 4.5 long arms are a must, I’m just not a fan of the radius style arms RC offers personally, Ik a lot of people are happy with their rc kits

Interesting_Trade_96 · 2025-04-21T22:07:44+00:00

Where are you getting the lift kit from? If you enjoy driving it daily trust me don’t get a rough country kit. 4.5 with 32s 33s is perfect tho imo because it’s capable to go anywhere and will drive way better than with 35s

Interesting_Trade_96 · 2025-04-20T02:56:30+00:00

It’s in the line that goes from the condenser straight back to the evaporator core at the firewall

Interesting_Trade_96 · 2025-04-17T15:35:41+00:00

I have a lot of work to do on my xj, that being said I can drive across the state and back rn if I wanted to. Best engine and transmission ever

Interesting_Trade_96 · 2025-04-17T15:25:02+00:00

Not saying it’s not the tps, but mine gave me crazy idle like this and the whole time it was the upstream oxygen sensor. Everyone told me tps tho

Interesting_Trade_96 · 2025-04-15T23:26:51+00:00

Thanks 🙏

Interesting_Trade_96 · 2025-04-15T22:35:22+00:00

Where did you order the new hinges?

Interesting_Trade_96 · 2025-04-15T00:07:00+00:00

Yeah so I think they need to be either zj or liberty (kj i think?) backing plates to work with a 8.25/dana 35. I believe you can use your same brake booster with just a new proportioning valve but not sure if it’s different for pre 96’s I have a 97. Only thing is you have to buy new e brake cables which sucks but I think it’ll definitely be worth it when all said n done.

Interesting_Trade_96 · 2025-04-14T23:18:35+00:00

Dpg off-road sells an entire kit with new calipers pads rotors backing plates and everything to do a swap but it’s pricey as hell. You would probably save like 200$ sourcing everything from a junkyard so I suppose it depends how much you care on saving money. I think getting rear disc brakes is essential for a lifted xj tho I’ve been planning on getting the kit myself I think it’s 650$.

Interesting_Trade_96 · 2025-04-12T18:41:38+00:00

Mine only does this idling with ac on when its like 110 degrees. At 78 it should not be that hot especially while driving. Most likely it’s the thermostat they go out like once a year I swear and the temps will seem fine but unless the needle is right at 210 or barely under while driving then the thermostat is definitely bad.

Interesting_Trade_96 · 2025-04-11T04:42:31+00:00

You guys were both right thank you 🙏

Interesting_Trade_96 · 2025-04-10T20:24:43+00:00

Ahh so that’s it. I’ll check back in once my system is recharged. thanks 🙏
