Trying to find a new windscreen i rang around but most places seem to not stock or be able to source a xj jeep windshield? Anyone got a price on one i probably need new seals to really dont wanna have to go through jeep
Both windscreens obrien and pilkingtons have XJ screens ... probably others too.
A genuine windscreen seal will probably cost you more than an aftermarket glass screen.
I used an aftermarket seal from obriens and theres been no issues with since fitted it all a coupla years ago.

What offset are you running 35's on and do you get any rubbing when disconnected Steve? I plan on going 35's in the next 12 months or so and am trying to get an idea if what back spacing I should be aiming for.
I run 4.75" back spacing and get a little rubbing in the front on the upper spring mount and swaybar at fulll flex under some circumstances (I have adjusted my steering stops). In saying that though I'm only on my first set of replacement hubs as the bearings prefer this offset You'll probably get rubbing somewhere on 35's anyway, I've run 35's for about 2 1/2 years now and wouldn't change the backspacing.

Thanks Steve. I was looking at something around 4", but might rethink this as you are running a similar setup to what I will be running.
put the jeep through some fairly difficult tracks, lot of water, hills etc. mostly low range work had a blast but as i was leaving i realized ive only got 1st and 2nd gear, it changes into 3rd but only revs like its in neutral.. worn out transmission i guess?

You have increased your front bump stops, haven't you? If not maybe some fluid loss if the prob has only started since you went wheeling?
Regards A

See if it still happens in the morning when cold. As AG is implying apparently it's quite common to pinch the trans cooler lines when flexing out resulting in overheating and blown hose etc due to the higher fluid back pressure.
Follow the trans cooler lines from the drivers side of the trans and inspect for damage near the front diff.
