This is the first time I have ever installed a new engine in something I own. I have not bought a new car either. I have had over 20 jeeps of all kinds over the years. I usally buy them with some kinda problem and fix them up and drive them for a few years and sell them for more than I have...

Yep I had a long block installed in my 02 Grand 4x4. The old 4.0 had bad wrist pins knocking after 216.000 miles. The local dealership did the work and it cost more than than the Jeep is worth but its less expensive than a new jeep. it comes with a 3 year parts and labor promise. I agree with...

I never understood the "Part Time 4x4 " on my 02 Grand. When i am at home i work part time on things. How does it know to be 4x4 and sometimes 2x4 ?

Take it to a car wash. clean and then let dry your under carrige. spray Rust-Oleum paint on everything. let dry. then spray a undercoating over the paint and let dry. you should be good to go after that. Your pics show normal damage to a jeep with no undercoating.

This is were K-2 and senoir members would chime in. I am also interested in cleaning my a/c vents, but dont how to.

I was thinking of putting side boards on it. I would take a 4'x8' sheet of 5/16" or 1/4" plastic panel and rip it down to 6" strips 8' long, I havnt takin a tape measure to it but I think I will be able to curve each end of the strips and fit it into the curves on the wheel wells. that way there...

Stopped by the Police dept and the Captain said I could take the 4 doors off my cherokee no problems. He said " If he had a jeep he would take the doors off" but he added " a BMW with no doors would not be ok". A friend of mine that used to live in AZ said its common to see Cherokee's and other...

superJ I am not surprized about TX. when I lived there I was pulled over for not having my engine hood on in a datson pick-up. I will try and google it but It might be easier for me just to pull over a Cop or Sheriff and ask sense they are the ones that will be pulling me over.

My 1996 Cherokee sport 4x4 is just sitting in my yard right now. It has some engine troubles and 300.000 miles on it. I want to fix the engine troubles and remove the doors because they are worn out !. I want to make it like a CJ with 2/55 AC and look more like a Hummer. Whats the laws in your...

JP the Jeep came with a bad gas cap and I replaced it with a new one from a Napa Parts Store. Right now the 02 grand is drivable and easy to put gas in. I used my 2000 Grand as a trade in on the 02 and sold my 2000 4x4 sport so I would have the money to put it in the 02. My hope is to have one...

I did the " key dance" yes my cel is on and so is my abs and air-bag lights ? I guess I need to go to a auto parts store or dealership to get all the codes, for right now its taking gas even when you have the handle wide open... so its kinda a hooky-rig with the hanger stuck in the gas hose, but...

I gluded a small earth magnet to a wire and tried to see if I could snag the missing flapper but I think its staniless and wont grab the magnet. Then I tried a staniless coat hanger with a hook made on the end to snag it. I could feel ( not see) that I was hitting something just around the curve...

It was missing when I bought the jeep and it has always been hard to put gas in it. I suspect the flapper came loose and fell down the gas hose while the previous owner had it ? K-2 I am not ruling out the vent valve as the problem either, just I can picture in my mind the flapper hung-up in the...

Problem is that it wont take gas very good. the pump keeps kicking off. Im sure the flapper is the problem, but to get to the gas hose and remove it so I can get the flapper out, I guess I am going to have to remove the gas tank. I hope you understand what I mean by flapper, its when you stick...
