I am just looking into Jeeps. Is there an after market rear seat that seats 3? Robert

this is not for my jeep, but a friend's '97 XJ yesterday, one of the cooling fans on the radiator (the one on the driver's side) would continue to run after the vehicle was shut off. i guess that in itself is not so strange, my VW Jetta will continue to run the fan for a few minutes when it is...

Well, finally got the pan off. Turns out I was right, there was an effing maple leaf stuck to the pickup. There was other crud in the pickup. Was getting dark when I got it off so I knocked off for the night. Manana I pull the pump and pickup, clean out the pan and pickup, put in a new oil...

I'm a long time YJ owner, and need something bigger. I've been looking around at 4.0L ZJs and XJs . Most everything in my price range has higher miles, which doesn't necessarily bother me. I've had 2 YJs with over 150K each and the 4.0 is probably the most reliable engine I've ever been...

I have a 96 ZJ, V8 Quadratrack with 105k miles on it, 4.5" lift. The transmission has had a quirk for about a year now. Right after it shifts to 2nd gear, 3 seconds after the shift it tries to shift again. It shifts out of 2nd, and than almost immediately returns back to second. It is between...

I test drove another ZJ today, and noticed a little whine coming from the TC/Tranny area of the floor. This one had a 242 Select Trac, and all the other ones I've driven had the 231. It didn't really sound like a grinding or anything, just little gear whine sound, kinda like the the typical...

Finally got around to welding on a washer. So far so good but I'm not really happy with it. First lesson learned. There are no readily available commercial washers that are a good fit on a 10mm bolt. 3/8 is tighter on it than 10mm. 9mm won't fit over it, nor will 5/16. Second lesson...

Yeah, I know it's an anti-roll bar but when you go to buy the repair part it's called a "sway bar link". Anyway, one of mine was busted and had occasion to change it. This was on a '97 where for some reason it has a ball joint. Most of the replacement went easily but getting the ball joint out...

Ok well after what I was hoping to be a completely problem free weekend trip with the ZJ, It NOW has a problem... well it has slightly had this as an intermittent problem for awhile but this weekend it seemed to happen all the time. The problem: when turning in parking lots or at slow speeds,...

Does anybody know of a decent starter for the '97 5.2 ZJ? I seem to be getting about 2 years out of the ones from the auto parts stores and it's a pain in the butt.

For the XJ, I'm planning on following the budget boost writeup at: http://www.rocklizardfabrications.com/home_brew_budget_boost.htm It says to use ZJ V8 springs. I've been looking at them, and it seems that they used the same springs for both the 4.0L and the V8 - Partsamerica.com says that...

I bought a used 1997 ZJ three years ago, and thinking about it, I've let maintenance slip quite a bit -- that is, I did regular oil changes, and that's just about it. The previous owner should me the work sheet from a pretty major tune-up at around 70k miles, but I'm up to 120k now. I just put on...

I need the gear lube specs for a '98 ZJ. Thanks

Well we just finished and amazing weekend at the Nova Scotia Jeep Jamboree... What an awesome weekend! My buddy just finished building my tube fenders for my TJ and didn't charge me a cent...what a great friend, they look wick'd! Anywayz, we are both trail guides for this Jamboree and on his...

I have a 95 Grand Cherokee w/ 318 and quadra trac that until recently was driving great. recently it developed a noise in the upper engine area and I nailed it down to the Idler pully between the alternator and a/c compressor. I replaced it and the noise sort of went away, the grinding screech of...

All, My passenger side headlight lens fell out the other day, and of course I then ran it over. I've been quoted a price of £190 + VAT for a replacement. It seems that you can only buy the whole fitting, not just the glass. Now this price to me seems astronomical - it's actually more than my first...

My 97 ZJ needs an engine overhaul--has a cracked ring (or worse). I'm debating my options. Pulling the engine, overhauling it myself, and putting it back is out--with the engine out of the Jeep I wouldn't have any way to get the block to the machine shop. So I'm debating whether to (a) get...

Ok, here's the problem on these nice rainy days when the windshield fogs up the defroster has a hell of a time trying to clear it, the wifey is getting a tad upset that she has to drive with the window open to clear the fog (keeps complaining about getting wet... I already handed her a...

Can this be adapted for my 91 XJ? http://seattle.craigslist.org/pts/114887636.html Thanks, Carl
