I have not signed in in a while. Have lurked a bit, just been super swamped and busy.... I got stuck with an engine rebuild that I wasnt looking for. '02 GCherokee (2WD even, boooo) ungrateful nephew that runs every vehicle he gets his hands on into the ground, then drops it in someone else's...

I am so disgusted with Chinese rotors... HAS to be some source of them that don't come from there... I get 2-3 years out of pads but rotors have become a once a year ritual and no, even the dealer ones are now Chinese.... that's where my last set came from because I figured that surely THEY...

this is on my 97 XJ. I posted in here a couple months ago looking for wiring help; I wound up going to a yard and replacing the engine harness and computer; no good; I think my problem is in the rest of the underhood harness; I know it will be a major PITA to change. problem is, I was told...

97 XJ. Not really interested in junkyard ones. I they have the wheels off and them propped up so I couldnt tell if they are any good. I DON'T like doing anything over again. So i am looking at new. I know you guys don't wanna hear this but I'm looking at stock but heavier duty replacements this...

How bad is it; my synchro's are about shot especially in 1st and 2nd. I've done A/T's before, never rebuilt a stick.

So, I have returned to college full time; after being away since the '80s; my Wrangler has been eating ALOT of salt in the 80-some mile daily round trip; so today, I decided that I'd better take it to the car wash; Now in the 11 years of owning my TJ, I have washed it ALOT; often in this same...

97 XJ and 97 TJ; both completely stock; same policy, same agent, coverage etc WHY does an XJ cost 50% more than a same year TJ? We used to have an 01 XJ; the 97 is cheaper to insure by a whole $2/month. TJ=$34/mo; XJ; $51. TJ; principal driver--as listed on the policy (ME) has an avg of 1...

On my 97 XJ the factory header is cracked Surprise, surprise, I know.... the one on my 97 TJ did the same thing like 5 years ago; I pulled it, welded it up and it has been fine since. Considering the 4.0 comes with a tube header as its exhaust manifold, is there really any difference in an...

I had to replace the hub bearings on my '97 XJ yesterday; my typical parts source was closed at the time I did it; at 6:30-ish PM on a Saturday I have 2 places to get parts from around here; either Useless Zone or Advance; I called both; they both had 2 different possibilities in stock; one at...

I am on my 2nd XJ; my 1st was a "police package" '01 with heavyduty everything and my current one is a 97 "Country" not so "heavyduty" but more "luxury" (compass tweed cloth seats, cruise cont, etc) During the 5 years I had the 01 I had to replace the rear end (Dana 35) because someone had...

Is a steering box a TJ only part? what else do they fit? I have one from a 99 up in the rafters....

I have 2 Jeeps that I need to know what drive gears should be in there; one XJ and the other a TJ; both '97 models. 1) TJ, 4.0, AX 15, 3.07s, 235/75-15s stock size was 215/75-15. I have had a few tickets in this thing in the 10 years I have had it, and the ****tards always write me for a...

I recently was in on a front axle replacement on my buddy's XJ. his old (wreck damaged) housing was a "low pinion"; the JY replacement is a "high pinion"; 1) did they offer both styles of axle, in a TJ? 2) for the same gear ratio, does "hi pinion" or "lo pinion" make a difference as far as...

I have a 97 TJ and like em all the flares faded to a nasty gray. So i took em off and had em painted with automotive grade "Spice" paint to match the top. looked GREAT at 1st but the paint didn't stick very well. What can I do? My 97 XJ has body color flairs on it (factory I think) thet still...

I know that neither is as good as a Dana 44 but between the Mopar 8-1/4 and a Dana 30 which is stronger?

What's the difference between a Laredo a Sport a Country an SE etc amoung XJs? I just bought a 97 "Country", seems pretty "loaded"

As some of you might already know my 01 XJ got totalled this past Sunday. I just brought home a 97 to replace it. I want to buy back the 01 and part it out. I am wanting to save the most likely to need parts for the 97. 1) will the trans interchange? (Both AW4) 2) If I pull the cam sensor...

I think I know what the trouble is here but wanted someone to "bounce" thoughts off of. This past Sunday my son (16 yo) was driving on a snowy unplowed road in 2WD and the rear end "came around" on him; he spun 180* and wound up upside down in the ditch. The whole top filled w/water. (he got...
