Hi guys, My 1997 XJ has given me the Oil Pressure Warning Light (it only has dummy lights - no actual gauges) for the first time ever in the 11 years I've owned it. The weird thing is... it only came on immediately after I did an oil change. I did everything just like normal, but right after I...

somehow i managed to snap my BDS adjustable trackbar right in two... but fortunately BDS has their 'no questions asked' warranty and i already have a new one! my question is this... after breaking the old trackbar and having to drive a little bit without it on (just to get to the shop and...

so here is what's going on with my 97 4.0 XJ... 1. i think my ignition coil just went out again today. i have replaced it twice before, and it's doing the exact same thing. the engine just turned off while i was driving and won't start again. turns over fine though... (also, is it weird that i...

i have a 97 XJ with a 3" lift and rusty's flares with a decent bit of fender trimming. the only tire/wheel setup i have ever run is AR-767 wheels (15x7, -12mm offset, 4.0 inch backspacing) and 30x9.5 BFG AT (which actually is a 29.5 inch tire). i have always had a LOT of extra clearance though...

I just turned over 150,000 miles on my original rotors, and my pads are at almost 60,000... so its time for some replacements. My stopping power is noticeably poor due to all my aftermarket stuff... so I want something that will give me some increased braking. Any good recommendations on what...

My check engine light came on today and I checked the codes on my dash. I got 12, 43, and 55. I know that 12 is nothing major and 55 is the end code... but 43 can mean a number of things... Any advice as to what I should do about this? Also, I had my jeep off-roading a bit today and went...

My 97 XJ has some starting issues... it turns over fine (with a little drag at the beginning) but doesn't want to actually start right away and I usually have to give it some gas. It then stumbles for about 5-6 seconds (I have to continue to give it gas to keep it from stalling), but then starts...

i've been having some problems with bad vibrations/wandering for the past few weeks. i assumed the problem was just alignment as it seemed to be simply the tires... and i noticed that my front right tire was showing excessive wear on the outer edge. the vibes pick up bad just over 40 MPH and are...

first of all, the problem is not really with the A/C, its with the fan system that blows the air through the vents (so it happens with heat, A/C, and just vented in outside air). what happens is this: whenever i am constantly on the gas for any amount of time (over 30 seconds or so), something...

my sister is thinking about buying a jeep liberty... and she's currently looking at two different ones. both have the 5-speed manual, the 3.7 liter, and are 2003 models. one is a renegade and one is just a sport. any advice on the liberty? is 2003 an exceptionally bad year for anything major...

i had my 1997 cherokee out for a little bit of off-roading yesterday and now i'm having problems today. it was fine the whole time i had it out and immediately afterwards, but this morning my check engine light came on and it began to cut out intermittently every 10 seconds or so (it would just...

so a shop that is looking at my jeep came up with another possible explanation for my ongoing death-wobble: they say it has a vacuum diaphram (?) that may be leaking when i go over a bump - that lets the 4-wheel drive system try to engage - this then causes the u-joints to allow a hop and lead...

well the fight continues. in my attempt to defeat the DW on my '97 3" XJ i have replaced the following: - new OME steering stablizer - 4 new OME nitrocharger heavy duty shocks - a new tracbar - BDS lca's (for 3" lift) and BDS uca's (adjustable) - new steering box - all new bushings - new upper...

i can't remember the websites that had some real good prices on OME and DT and RANCHO shocks. i know they had free shipping as well. somebody on the site here told me about it a while back... so if anybody remembers, that'd be awesome. sorry thats all so vague, but i figured i'd give it a shot!

RE: yj hardtop well i've had a few other posts over the last couple months about my ongoing death wobble problems. here's the deal... i've replaced almost everything i can think of that would be a possible cause of the problem: - heavy-duty BDS lower control arms - adjustable BDS tracbar - new...

RE: Re: RE: Re: RE: Re: RE: I shimmie just wondering if anybody knows how to get a 1997 cherokee center console out. i've loosened every bolt i can find connecting it to the chassis... but its still attached somehow and i can't see where. i'm considering herculining my interior if i can get all...

just wondering if anybody has any experience with american racing's TEFLON wheels (or has heard anything about them). i'm considering replacing my heavy old AR-767 rims with some nice new AR victors or mohaves. also... what are the pros and cons of upping to a 16 inch rim over the 15's that all...

hey guys... just wondering if anybody knew the "call-letters" for the new 05 grand cherokee (i.e. WJ, ZJ, XJ, etc...)?????

well here's the story... i have a 97 cherokee with a 3" lift and 30" tires. back in february, it started developing somewhat of a death wobble... although it was mild at first. it gradually got worse and worse, so i decided to put a heavy duty old man emu steering stabilizer on. that seemed to...

RE: 700 R4 conversion just wondering if anybody else saw who was deemed the new "four wheeler of the year" by four wheeler magazine. unfortunately... it is the: VW touareg!!!!!!!!! they made it seem pretty convincing that this thing actually deserved it... but i'm still a little skeptical...
