I have (OK my wife has) an 89 Cherokee that came with a 4 inch lift. She already loosened the tilt-wheel attachment bolts using the wheel to climb in. That's a bitch to fix! This isn't an offroader, just her snow car. I have priced steps, and decided I should just make some. After examining the...

I just got a sound bar from a 97 Cherokee that I plan on putting in my 96. It's pretty obvious how the thing goes in but I've got a couple of questions. 1. This is hard, black plastic and obviously supposed to be covered in something. Is there a different headliner used with these or is there...

Can somebody recommend what shocks I should buy for my 2001 Cherokee Sport? This car is driven by my wife, so I would like to have firm but smooth ride. I replaced the stock shocks in my 97 XJ with Gabriel Ultras and it rides real rough. Thanks Dave

I need to replace the driver's seat belt in my '89 XJ and I was wonder if any one knew what size torx bolt I need?

I'm looking for suggestions about seat covers for my 1996 XJ, something that's good quality with a nice "finished" facory look. Some I've looked at online appear to be just loose covers and don't seem to fit the contour of the seats. Any ideas?

Hi everybody-- I hate to post such an open-ended question, but I know there are a bunch of knowledgable enthusiasts and professionals who watch these newsgroups....so here goes: I'm looking at purchasing a '97 Cherokee Sport (4x4, I-6, AT) for cheap money. It's got 115K on it, and outside of the...

Hi, can anyone tell me what the exact specs are for the XJ's rear leaf spring bolts? I'm changing the rear springs and am afraid that I may have to use new bolts in the process. I would like to pick up a set of 4 new bolts just in case. when I look at the bolt heads it reads "ABC 9.8"...so I...

Hello Group & Thanks in advance for any information... I have a '98 XJ which needs some rear brake work. So, when I go about it, I was figuring that I might convert to discs. I've bought and read the Eric Zappe book ("Hi-Po XJ Builder's Guide") which describes the conversion procedure, but it...

I have a 97 XJ with power windows. All 4 windows work from the driver's door but the other 3 won't work from their own door switch. I did some testing and the window lockout switch is good. Any ideas? Dave

Its time for me clear out some of the extra things I picked up over the years for my XJ, Since I got rid of it last June. I picked up all these parts at the wrecker a spares. Everything has been tested and works, however due to them being used, there is no warenty. Here is a short list of things...

Okay, so here is what I have, a nearly complete 1991, auto with just under 200k miles. Runs greast, shifts fine. The straw that ended its road life is the ujoint broke at the rear axle and buggered the yoke a little and I'm not willing to repair any more. I live in western upstate New York. ...

The paint codes for my Jeep (per my build sheet) a PG8 - Forest Green Pearl Coat QG8S - Forest Green Pearl Coat Where is the best place to obtain around one quart of this paint, and a similair amount of POR-15? I have some rust to repair on the roof of my XJ Thanks,

well the 90XJ I have overheated on the way home last night. It was a cool evening. Checked it out today, refilled the system w/coolant and it overheated again. Previous owner has changed the thermostat already. SO I was reading about the open and closed systems, and how you can change it from...

Just bought an 86 Cherokee 2.8 and oil pressure readings seem weird. I've just read all the postings covering low oil pressure. (A lot of postings.) The sender often seems be the prime suspect. When I first start the engine the gauge shows about 40 pounds and drops to about zero before there's...

I took my 91 XJ in a couple weeks back to have a blown brake line from the master cyclinder to the rear axle replaced. Ever since I've got the truck back it doesn't shift right. It won't shift out of first until the tach hits 3K. Also it won't shift into overdrive until I'm doing over 72mph. It...

Crap. Past couple of days I notice my fuel economy going to hell, got home from work today and was about to leave again when the xj wouldn't crank. Opened up the hood and the first injector was spewing gas everywhere, so I replaced all fuel injector o-rings. When I was putting it all back...

I have placed an order for my first XJ mods. They are humble but a start. First, I ordered a set of 1.5" lift shackles (http://www.rocky-road.com/xjshackle.html) I plan on changing the rear U-joints at the same time as installing these shackles. My springs are sagging terribly in the rear so...

Not a lot of time to go into detail, still tired from cutting holes in the top of the frame, and only time to post one pic. So far I am netting 5.25" of lift. 4.25" from the springs, 1" from the tires. http://s33.photobucket.com/albums/d96/carlsaiyed/?action=view&current=102_2139.jpg Carl 2000...
