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...

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...

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...

Asking this for my brother, as I wasn't terribly sure about the answer... Here's the scenario... He lives in Michigan. There's a vehicle down in Texas that he's thinking about buying. We really don't have the means to trailer it. Plan is that I'd drive him down to it, and then he'd drive it...

I just sat down and wrote this, cracked myself up to no end as I did... Enjoy... Pretty much says it all...:lol: So... It is Politically Correct Holiday Time... That's right, boys and girls and transgendered people alike, it's very nearly Non-Offensive, Non-Committal, Non-Denominational Winter...

So, obviously, politics on all levels are royally screwed up. But boy howdy, it sure seems like Michigan, which I love, is right up there near the top... Take for example, our current budget disaster... The state House of Representatives cannot figure out how to get our budget back on track...

Random thought. This is one that I've been mulling over for quite some time. Things are angry. Things are frustrating. Things are a powder keg that is beginning to burst at the seams, into what, who knows? A revolution? Perhaps merely a collapse into somber despair. What is the root cause...

So, as you all recall, I ended up getting the dream job that I've been working to get for 5 years as a full time employee of the Madison Heights Department of Public Services, Streets and Facilities Division. This job, nay, career, enabled me to get out on my own and into a place of my own...

Had to share, because I am just pleased as punch about this one... So, I mentioned that the City hired me full time. Still can't believe it. Well, the job could not be going any better. My bosses are constantly wowed by my work ethic, the quality of the jobs I'm completing, and my ability to...

So, Ben Bailey, of Fox 2 News Morning said that the storms were going to hit around 4:00... Right on the money. My Jeep is sitting out in the drive being pummeled by quarter-sized hail as I type this... The street is flooded, as is the lawn, the garden, and sidewalk... And AccuWeather still...

Just one of my totally off-the-wall, people-watching curiosities that come up as I sit here listening to opera with my morning coffee... Since we Jeepers on this board come from all over the country/world, from various walks of life, such things interest me... What do you do for recycling? I...

So, those of you that know me, or keep track of my writings otherwise may well know that I've been trying, for over three years now, to put my best foot forward and get a job with my City... Solely due to political reasons, I did not get the job three years ago, and have been holding out ever...

So, through process of elimination, and observation, not to mention the input of a good buddy who knows more than I about this sort of thing, I have a failing master cylinder on my friend's Jeep... Pedal gets partially down, then gets squishy to the floor, fluid is leaking between master and...

I'm hoping someone can back up my hypothesis... Vehicle: 86 Grand Wagoneer, AMC 360 V8 My brother was driving out of the sub, made it to the end of the street when the Jeep suddenly died. Got a tow from another Jeeper who lives down the street. It has gas. It will fire up when a splash of...

I'm having a problem when posting a response to any thread; none of the buttons up top, or smilies work. The dragdowns for the text, the more smilies link, none of it. Browser's working fine on all other sites, wondering is this is a forum problem, or is it still on my end?

Here be the story... Yesterday, my brother and I were doing some maintanance on my '00 XJ, and his '86 Grand Waggy. I did an oil change, greased everything up, and a tire rotation on mine. The drivers side front tire was chewed up a little bit, haven't rotated them nearly enough, but there is...

If the mood strikes you to change out the headlights in your standard XJ, I offer this advice... Spray every screw liberally with PB blaster or something first... See, as I found out, the headlight area likes to accumulate mud, and lots of it, which in turn leads to rust, which in turn leads to...

So here's a quandary... Just to get to know everyone better, how many of you are involved in music in some way, either playing an instrument, writing/composing, that sort of thing... I myself play drums, played, and want to pick back up baritone, and can muddle around a piano a little bit... I...

I didn't take this video, but this is footage that the crew I was with took this last Saturday at the Mounds... I'm in the blue XJ that comes bouncing through every now and again, I showed up later in the morning, so am not in the first part... Long video, but quite well done... The language...
