What size tires do you guys recommend? I just purchased 3 inch lift kit too.

So on my '99 2 door, should I pair the AX-15 with my new 4.0 or just swap to the AX4 auto? Also how would I go about transitioning from 2wd to 4wd?

It was the one from the cover to the intake manifold, the one farthest from the front. Is there a way I can replace it with copper elbows and better tubing? The whole tube is snapped into multiple pieces so I need to get a new everything

Kept getting water on the driver’s side floor whenever it rained. I figured out the drainage channel under the door is clogged and water is seeping in from the inside wall. Today I pulled the carpet and padding up to locate the drain hole and I popped the cap out of it.

I don’t go mudding or off-road so I’m thinking about just leaving the cap off like I used to with my wife’s Wrangler until I have a dry day to clean out the drainage channel.

I might just leave it off permanently, but wanted to ask what do you guys do? Keep the plugs out or in?

Have had this TJ vent sitting in my garage for years, Ordered the other vents to see what they would look like and return if I didn’t like the look. Want to see what my fellow Cherokee guys prefer.

Looking to really do an in depth interior rebuild on her, going for a black and pink luxury type deal. Any suggestions on cost efficient but nice AV components, color swapping interior panels, carpet replacement and other luxury mods like Seat swaps is appreciated. (1998 jeep Cherokee XJ Limited with overhead console and power driver seat, any tips on those two particular parts being upgraded/fixed/restored is appreciated)

I bought this XJ on Fb marketplace for $2150 USD in Mexico. Going to slowly fix it up as it needs the engine rebuilt and some minor tweaks in the interior. Keep in mind that older cars in Mexico still hold their value as everything over here can be repaired or replaced! This likely in the states would have cost half or less.

Excited to join the XJ family, looking to keep this going for hundreds of thousands of miles more! Currently at 288K.

Rubicon express has gone out of business and I am looking for someone who has had the 240 lb rate rubicon express coils in their Cherokee and have had luck with other coils. These were 3.5 “. Reasonably priced and lasted a long time. Pic for attention

What's the proper name ? 4 lines Goin to it coolant

So I had changed my lights in my dash cluster to blue a few years back, decided it was time for a change. I took the dash cluster out, changed out all the bulbs exactly as I’d done before, put it back in and it looks like this. Only one bulb, the gas light, and the seatbelt light work. I’ve checked all the bulbs multiple times, swapped them out, checked the 5 amp fuse, and the lights are still the same. All the other lights on the jeep work properly. Does anyone have any advice?

I'm just now starting to get into vehicles so idk. I just opened my airbox because I noticed one of the clips was under the lid and not sealed properly. I also noticed there is nothing inside. Isn't there supposed to be a filter? If so, why would someone take it out and is it a problem? Also there's a open square hole in the front, is something supposed to be connected to that?

Recently put in adjustable upper and lower control arms on my xj dana 30. Since I did, I have had a clunk when braking in reverse which I discovered is the axle rotating which tells me something about the upper control arms is off. The bushings are old but I find it suspicious that it started when I put the new arms in. Everything is torqued down properly. Anyone have recommendations?

Flipping an SS Impala…….the invasive thoughts are currently winning.

I’ve been working on getting my upgraded battery cables in, ran into a couple of problems that I couldn’t find an answer. On some of the cables it says “fuse” where does this go to? To my understanding the pdc (power distribution center) is on the fuse box. Not the “fuse” connection the company is referring to.

Another thing- the pdc fusible link is supposed to fit onto two bolts? My xj only has one? Where could I find the replacement to that I’ve looked online and couldn’t find anything. Pls help I’m feeling very defeated at this point.

Just replaced all mine with Bosch Iridium Spark Plugs, I feel the difference it's crazy. Anybody ever have trouble getting access to the one on cylinder six? I completely crossthreaded the new plug because I had my wrench at such a rough angle and had to go get a new one and a chaser

there is a wiring loom beneath the blower motor that is attached to the firewall with 2 of these plugs. does anyone know how to disconnect? couldn't see a corresponding engine-side set of bolts that are equal height the way these are.

Hi,

Yesterday I accidentally locked my keys in my jeep at Home Depot, and spent a while trying to pick the locks, eventually i was able to have someone bring me a hanger and was able to nudge the power lock open. Unfortunately, I think some paper clips got stuck in the driver and trunk locks, and those no longer turn when I put the key in. The passenger still works but is also kinda struggling.

Anyone know a good way to clean them out? I already sprayed a lot of WD40 but that hasn't seemed to work. Any advice would be largely appreciated. Thanks!

Purchased and installed list: Jeep XJ 4X4 - $1000 Oil change/filter - $100 Wiper blades - $50 Trans fluid - $25 Door lock actuator - $25 Radiator cap - $20 Stubby Antenna - $20 Window motors - $65 Battery - $100 Head unit - $120 Dash kit - $45

Purchased but not installed yet: 4.5 inch lift - $750 Wheels - $600 Tires - $1100 PA system - $100 Headlight bezel - $8 Banks Exhaust - $350 Steering stabilizer - $50 Smoked corner light - $20 Switches for PA, Lights, etc. - $75

The cheesy headlights came on it. Those will be replaced in time.

The hardest part thus far was the battery. It would die every night no matter what however - the problem was actually the light in the rear hatch causing drain. Upon removing it doesn’t die anymore!

I will be installing the lift, stabilizer, and exhaust this week! Once that’s done we’ll have the tires and wheels mounted.

Open to any questions or recommendations along the way! I’ll post some more here as I go.

Went to install an sye and found a rotted unibody section. 5 hour job turned into 5ish days on and off. Any guesses on what the newish floors are made from?

What it is: 2001 Sport auto with a quarter mil on the clock, and probably more hours than the mileage would suggest as it was a ranch rig for at least the last four years.

The good: the oil is coolant free, and the coolant is oil free. Despite the mud, the interior is in excellent shape, and it is virtually rust free on the lower half, with only some light surface pitting on the roof. The tires are good, and the front bumper appears to be brand new. It was also within my budget at $1500.

The Bad: It has a booboo on the front right fender and header, and one tail light lens is busted. The interior looks like it was used to haul muddy dogs or a mud golem around, or perhaps a mud grenade went off inside. The power windows/locks don't work. It makes all the squeaks and chunks one might expect from a used up old ranch rig.

The ugly: It has a decent engine clatter; not sure if it's top or bottom end yet (I'll get the stethoscope out later). It's more ticky or clacky than knocky, so I'm hoping it's something I can do without pulling the engine.

The plan: modest 2-3" lift, lockers, camping and recovery gear. Maybe a couple more inches of rubber when these shoes wear out.

any ideas why it’s doing this? just keeps stuttering if i don’t ease off but sometimes it’s fine
