I see your heat shield wrap on the fuel rail. Was thinking of doing something similar for mine as I was getting heat soak after I shut the engine off after a long climb in the mountains. Had to wait 20 minutes for thing to cool before she fired up and ran normal again.
The heat wrap has helped a lot but I still get heatsoak sometimes. I'm planning on modifications to my hood to eliminate heat completely but time and money are not around right now.
@@nextweeksadventure I've heard installing a manual override switch for the e-fan that you can leave running for a few minutes after shutdown eliminates the heat soak problem.
@@aaronerickson8878 I've heard that does help and I've thought about it. I've also been looking into adding a return line to tank like modern cars have. Or modify a hood with a cowl and fan. Possibilities are endless just need to decide what I want to do.
I’m switching out my mount on a 2000 xj. The nuts are missing on the studs of the mounts that attach it to the Jeep. Do you know what size nuts I need?
If it's the studs on the mount itself just take the mount to a hardware store and size it up. It will be Metric but I'm not exactly sure on size. Or If you have a tap n die set use the thread pitch gauge and size it up.
267k miles on the rig. I figured maybe the og owner put a set on it at some point. For the price I just decided to go ahead and toss a set on. But the motor did have a noticeable amount of torque movement when bliping the throttle which is also a sign.
@@nextweeksadventure I'm hearing a thud and feeling torque and take off when I first start mine and shift into drive, or reverse. It's usually only when I first start the car, later it calms down. Could this be the engine mounts? 235,000 miles on mine, almost everything is original.
On a lifted 2.5” daily wj with 245/75 maybe 265/70r16 max tire. Do you think it’s worth filling the new motor mounts with polyurethane. I’ve seen other people do this but I don’t know if it will be too rough for a daily.
It would be a cheaper alternative to solid mounts but I like the cruisability of a properly done light lift wj but any kind of death wobble situation just a few times if you Keep driving it wrecks rubber oem bushings.

Thanks for this video. All I could find was 4.7 tutorials until I seen this.
One of the cleanest Xjs 👍👍

Interesting! Lots of good information ❤ I think jeeps are so neat

how did you know the motor mounts were bad? or just doing them preventive maintenance?

@@Danny-nm9sn there is a good chance it is. If it were mine I'd put my eyes on the engine and trans mounts. Also with the thud I'd check the U-joints.

I need to do this!
Bro your a beast ty 😎😎😎
Those mounts are garbage. The transmission mount they make for my LJ shakes the whole jeep. The OEM ones are discontinued.
