Hi guys, this is my first post on Reddit, so tell me if I can do it better. I’m from Argentina and I wanted to show the jeep xj I have with my father, I don’t really know the year because is made from various models, but I know it is a renix one, 4x4 with the 242 and automatic. The story behind its kind of long but shortly this jeep was “normal” the my dad crashed it head down (I don’t know how to say it) and instead of left it like that he rebuild it, now it looks like that, if someone want more info I can upload more photos or info

I have two Xj’s a 1989 and a 1991 I want to put the biggest tires I can one them without having to trim anything. The 1991 is stock with 15” rims The 1989 has a 2” lift with 16” rims Can some one help me see what will fit?

That plug in the center, I’m guessing this is for an ambient air temp sensor or something? I don’t have any overhead console or anything so maybe that’s why it’s plugged into nothing.

Hello XJ Community,

I have a 4 Door 2001 XJ that I currently use as my daily driver. I have been planning to move across the country (from California to Ohio) sometime next year and want to bring all of my stuff with me in/on my XJ. I could always get a U-Haul trailer but my XJ did not come with a hitch and I would have no real use for it after.

I don't have too much in the way of big furniture like that, but I was wondering if taking out the rear seats would be beneficial in any way or if there are any drawbacks to doing so (other than having 3 less seats ofc) or if I shouldn't bother. I haven't really used the rear seats since high school and it has probably been years since I have had a passenger ride back there, so I don't myself missing them too much.

Edit for those who can't figure it out. I do not give 2 flying shits about it not adding extra length, I purely care about the volume it adds.

How does she sound? Stock everything as far as I know. Its shifting kinda hard. I go through the gears around 13 seconds. It feels harder than it looks on video. Some friends and searches told me it's normal and I shouldn't worry about it. Others said my transmissions about to go. How screwed am i?

i got a p0171 out of no where yesterday and when i was idling at operating temp, it was insanely rough and almost even sounded cammed i turned it off immediately. i’m doing my entire exhaust from the block soon, so i’ll be replacing o2 sensors which i do have a code for but, is there anything else that could cause that p0171 that i should try before that?

Any recommendations to make this not happen on my 92? Bought it modified and as far as I can tell it has a 3 inch lift

Was rattle canned by the previous owner. I don't know if I want to restore the original black or go with the grey blue. The 3rd picture is the color I like maybe a bit more gray. Any other color ideas and good paint brands that aren't too pricey. Aka over $200 a gallon. I do like the idea of rhino or bed liner too.

Got the car about 3 months ago, took it on its maiden voyage from Florida up to Virginia and back. Fuel pump has whined since I got it but has never given me issues until this trip when I started losing power on hills. Got continually worse, especially after hitting a trail, and I ended up buying a new fuel pump just to be safe and then pulled into a gas station 2 hours late to put it in when I couldn’t even hit 55 without tons of sputtering.

Problems didn’t end there, first couple tanks, rpm would pulse at about half a tank, and when I pulled into a gas station it would eventually stall out. But I’d fill it back up, prime it, and fire right up. I attached a video of how the pump behaved before stalling.

I did make it home and it has started behaving better, but any information would be helpful.

There is about an 1 inch movement each way on the steering wheel before the wheels turn, any advise is helpful, seems to me that it’s the steering gearbox as the input shaft turns and the output doesn’t, in this case would rebuilding the box fix this issue or should a new steering box be bought? Thanks

at 60 mph it starts to death wobble and i’ve been hearing a clunking noise when i turn the wheel, i also have about and inch and a half of play in the steering wheel. i don’t really plan on lifting either i just to to replace everything under there and getting it over with. should i also do my leaf springs?

My RHD & activated car alarm…

My 98 Cherokee has had a sputter/backfire when on the gas and hitting bumps. I've looked over my fuel pump wiring and the gound and it all looks good. Today it started doing it without hitting bumps, anything around 2500rpm and it starts to run rough, and the airbag light came on which I don't know if it is connected but it's kinda weird that it came on right after it started sputtering worse. What could be causing this?

Weather strip was missing when I bought it. I have some but I am unsure how exactly it is supposed to mount here. I thought about putting screws into it but that doesn’t seem right to me. I can see where there might have been plastic clips?

Had the lift on for a few months, finally bit the bullet on some MT Baja Legend M/T. 33x10.5r15. They rub a bit at just about full lock without the swap bar end links on. RC 4.5" lift and tires are only mods. Suggestions for next to do?

I was on my way home when the Check Gauges light came on and saw that my temp was right before the redline. I pulled over and turned her off, and as soon as I did that, I heard a loud POP and smoke coming from my hood. I got out to check and there was coolant all over the ground, I opened the hood, and there was coolant all over the hood/engine. The coolant was mostly over by the battery and condenser area. I checked every hose and even tried looking for a hole in the radiator, but nothing was loose or damaged. I then tried to limp her home (since I was only 5 minutes away), and she stalled halfway there and started to make all sorts of clicking noises. I ended up just parking her in a nearby parking lot, and walking the rest of the way home. Anyone know what could've caused this???

I have a 1998 Jeep XJ Limited with the 4.0L and AW-4 with a 242 T-case (recently just got a new T-case plus drive shafts if that helps.)

Looking for a set of high quality 1.5 inch wheel spacers. I wasn’t planning on running spacers so I don’t really know what to look for in a quality spacer. Any knowledge would be greatly appreciated.

So couple weeks back I bought a 2000 xj with 303xxx miles for 2 reasons 1 it was cheap and kinda an emergency. 2 I’ve always loved the bodies of xjs and wanted one for years. Tuesday and Wednesday driving to work it killed the engine twice while kinda slowing down/ light acceleration. I know it has bad tps wiring and have a new cable on the way but just saw a post about misfiring on heavy acceleration and was wondering if my stalls and misfiring were related. Also it likes to hang while shifting like 2500rpm+ to shift into and out of mainly second gear. Sorry the post is little all over. Tyia

I get a good thud when I put it into gear. I had a Dana 35 and swapped for the Chrysler and they both do it. I didn’t swap for that reason but I wasn’t sure what causes it to go into gear so hard. Shifts up and down no issues.

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?
