Hey folks, I just got my first XJ, and after a few days of driving it, and a few more days of browsing this forum, I've decided to join and introduce myself. Please bear with me if any of my questions are too noobish.
I'm Texan, a college student currently on hiatus from the academic world, and this is my 2nd jeep. The first Jeep is a '67 C101 Jeepster-Commando that I have spent about 3 years restoring. It is street-legal and has about 93,000 miles on it, about 3,500 of which I put on it. Now to the XJ. About a week ago I was in Houston visiting my parents, and I saw a white XJ for sale, so I got it. It is a 2000 XJ, 4dr Sport edition. Auto trans, 4WD, 4.0L, Dana 35 rear(No ABS). Dad was nice enough to get new tires for it-I came home to Houston to pick it up(It was out of inspection when I got it, so I had to wait a week before I could come back and pick it up) and found a set of 225/75/R15 BFG A/Ts on it. I also got a class 3 hitch installed by Uhaul so I can tow my Jeepster.
Anyway, I had a few questions and comments.
First off, is there anything in particular that I need to check on this truck? I have already replaced the air filter, oil(including oil filter), tires, and checked all fluids, bushings, etc.
Yesterday I tried to install a kill switch following the directions on www.projectxj.com, however the gas tank wiring is different on my jeep-it has 4 wires instead of 3-can anyone tell me which of these is the positive lead for the fuel pump?
I was also wondering if Chiltor makes a manual for the 99-02 XJs-the only Chilton manual I could find was for the 86-98 XJ. I got a Haynes manual for it, but it's kinda vague in places.
