    Why Jeep?

    Gotta agree with Roundeye here. Bear with me, because I'm taking a trip down amnesia lane here, but it's all relevant. 5 hours north of Metro Detroit, or about 30 miles south of the Mackinac Bridge, is Cheboygan County. My family has 11 acres of property up there, all hardwood forest, in a...

    1986 Grand Wagoneer fuel gauge/left turn.

    Posting this for my brother, the owner of the waggy. Obviously, there's an electrical short, but since AMCs had certain demons and gremlins throughout the years, I'm hoping that, perhaps, this is a common problem. The fuel gauge does not function. Sending unit was replaced (by me), and it...

    00 XJ Power Window Stop.

    Thanks very much for the reply. Next question. Obviously, as it's not stopping when it's supposed to, there are gears or something grinding, unless I stop it *just* right... Is the faulty unit the thing that's being stripped; IE: don't worry about it, or am I causing damage to the window...

    XJ Bumper

    I didn't change out the bumper, went with the WARN Trans4mer Grille Guard. It has a front 2" receiver for a winch, mounting holes for tow hooks, and it was a pretty easy install around the existing bumper. I'm of the school: if it ain't broken, don't replace it, so this worked well for me...

    push ,push,push.

    If you feel like swinging into Michigan, the Mounds ORV park in Genesee County is a pretty fun place to hit. It's about two hours north on I-75 once you hit the Michigan border. There is a moderate scramble area, and the trails backwoods and otherwise are designed for both the mudder on 44s, and...

    00 XJ Power Window Stop.

    Greetings, all... Long time, and all that. Subject vehicle: 2000 XJ, 4.0, automatic, power mirrors, windows, and locks. No modifications made to the aforementioned electrical creature comforts. The drivers side window is not stopping. That's the best way I can describe it. When you roll it...

    What's your day job?

    I'm an Equipment Operator for my City's Department of Public Services. To break it down, I'm that guy in the chartreuse reflective vest filling potholes on the road. I cut the grass, I plant the trees, I paint the soccer fields, I do the baseball fields. I make and install street signs. I clean...

    Wow... Shades of the old Sunday Night Jeepz Chats... Thursday, eh? I'll try to make it, no promises, as it's a work night. Would be nice to get to know some of the many many many new faces 'round here.

    Give me some mileages!

    '00 XJ, new alternator, computer, and normal wear items, everything else original. 138,000 and change, a few strange rattles, a few odd noises, but a good factory stereo, so those are no problem :twisted: Starts every time, runs smooth, runs fast, and runs well :D

    whats youre jeeps NAME??

    My Jeep's name is Jeepy. Wow, lots of new people here. Now, let me explain this one, because there is actually a fair amount of meaning that went into it. After my car got destroyed, I needed a vehicle that could get me up to the family property, where, due to road conditions, we had not...

    How do you unplug the blower fan?!?

    Hey, all, been a while. This is going to sound like a really stupid question, but I don't want to inadvertently tear the wire harness... 2000 XJ, the problem, as I believe it to be, is that the connection is dirty where the power plugs into the blower, right there on the firewall. If I wiggle...
