Add yet another for military style:

My XJ: Note that mount also locks in the floor mat so that it cannot shift under my feet.

I have no idea how the Tahoe is set up, but my Suburban has a second tank (factory) up above the spare tire. Has anybody looked into the feasibility of adapting such a thing to the Tahoe? I expect there would be some space challenges, but if GM fit a tank above the spare tire in one chassis...

Front frame plating and a steering box brace are good medicine for an XJ, especially as you increase tire size. I like Boostwerks' design that incorporates a winch mount as well: BWE Comp Mount

Similar to Jeronimo, I have used one to tow a Cherokee (XJ) behind my Suburban (3/4 ton, 8.1L, Autoride). No issues, wouldn't hesitate to do it again. Your choice of tow vehicles is just as important (if not more so) than your choice of trailers.

I spent a good portion of my youth inflating automotive tires with a bike pump. My father never was one to spend money on a good tool, especially not when he had children who he could task with the job. It works. It just takes time.

Any update on the XO Coupling for the US? I am still only seeing it in Australia for 50mm tow balls.

Perhaps the range fork in the T-case. Issues sound similar to this video:

The Repower site shows an MSRP of $9K: https://cumminsengines.com/repower.aspx Still no CARB EO number though. And evidently, Kali is not the only place that is a PITA in this regard: I will keep waiting until I see the CARB EO stuff before I can get excited. A $9K price tag seems pretty...

One more detail that I believe is different between a Cherokee (XJ) and Comanche (MJ) is the relationship between the leaf springs and the rear axle. Cherokees are "spring over" and I believe Comanches are "spring under". Not a major difference, but something you should be aware of should you...

I guess Chinese are more foreign than are Italians. Eastern culture vs western culture.

I can't speak to the Tundra side of the equation, but I have a '95 Dodge Cummins. It is pushing 300K miles on the clock. My biggest maintenance expense to date has been the air conditioning system, on which I have replaced everything except the evaporator. The engine itself has been a solid...

No kidding. A thousand deaths isn't good enough for photobucket. I only hope they go down as a textbook example of what not to do. And that no one who is responsible for this decision can ever land a job again.

Nice score. Can't beat the price. And it is a barn door style. I am jealous.

I have a cousin with a '95 of the same configuration. I think it has served his family well. I think they have had some issues with door handles/hardware. Check to make sure all the doors open from both the inside and outside handles. If power locks, check that they actuate both ways on each...

I saw this and thought "holy cow, he is going to do a Westfalia top too!" Then I saw the next picture. Whew! With regard to powder coating, while it may have been less painful in the short term I think you would find that it is not the greatest solution in the long term. I have seen really...

It wasn't me that said the wear through is on the top side. And trying to sort things out to figure out just where that point would be I think it is actually the opposite. I think it is the bottom side of the rearward facing half of the case. If you look at the instructions from Merchant...

Rather than a full hijack of the BroBurban thread it seems better to make this its own thread. Apparently some folks have not yet heard of this issue. I don’t intend to rewrite the book on this subject, but simply add some detail that I found lacking in my own experience. If this is the first...

My read is that it is a function of miles driven, and yes, the diesels probably are more likely to have racked up more miles. Those who were willing to pay the premium price tag for a diesel were most likely willing to do so because they anticipated getting their money back in fuel economy on...

I would say there is wear in 2wd operation. It is the oil pump. The T-case needs that at all times. It is not a particularly difficult job. You will need some special pliers to get a large snap ring off. I also opted to replace my chain while in there. Best to catch it in time. ETA: I...
