Is it possible or even a good idea to use some sort of bedliner like Durabak on the exterior of my XJ? I just finished sanding my down and was just going to slap on some Krylon rattle can but now im thinking i should with something more heavy duty.

Originally i was going to repaint my 2000 XJ the cheap way with Krylon desert khaki rattle cans, however now that ive got it all sanded donw and ready to go ive got some buddies that have been suggesting some kind of rubberized paint or something along those lines that will be much more durable...

Im currently running pro comp 300 shocks all around (or i think thats what they are called). Thing is i just blew the rear driver side shock right off where it bolts on the top end. So now im looking to upgrade all around. After doing some research i found there a million options and i aint...

I just blew out my drivers side rear shock. It was a pro comp 3000 which i had installed when i put the 4.5 inch RE lift on that om currently running. I dont know a whole lot about shocks so id like some advice about what brand and what model i should go with to replace all four shocks.

I just picked up some JKS quicker disconnects for my XJ. I currently am running the RE bars that came stock with the 4.5" lift kit. I was able to get the top of the bar on the RE's off but the bolt holding the lower end wont budge. Id the bolt screwed in or shold i just be able to pound it...

So now that ive successfully rebuilt my front drive shaft im on a modification rampage. My next addition is some JKS quicker disconnects. So to compensate for the added articulation of the tires i have removed the front fenders and will be cutting the body to provide more clearance. Thing is...

I finally started using the AC in my jeep (for the first time since i bought it, two years ago) and i notice there is a high pitch whine coming from the engine compartment when the AC is on. The noise isnt constant, and i usually notice it when im idling. What could it be? Maybe a belt or...

so i just moved for a cool, temperate climate to a very hot one. up until this point ive never even touched the A/C in my xj. to be honest whenever i turn it on down here in the heat i feel like im putting a big strain on the engine. i kinda figure after adding a lift and some nobby mudders...

The MIL keeps poppin up after a little driving and shutting off after i let my xj sit for a little while (several hours or over night). The guys i took it too said the injector #3 harness is having problems, they it might be stayin open or closed when it shouldnt be. Anybody have this problem...

Ive got the same problem. . .

Within the last month i have had to have my transfer case resealed twice because it was leaking. The first time the black RTV/ATF sealant was supposedly used. About 48 hours later it started leakin again. I took it into a different place the second time and they used a red anorobic sealant...

Ive got a 2000 xj with an np231 transfer case. I just had the transfer case removed and split to replace some warn seals on the inside. About a week after that is started leaking again. The second guy i took it to to check the new leak said that it was sealed with the wrong sealant. He said...

How many times do you figure you can say "thats all', before it actually is all. . .just asking?

And to clarify, i dont believe i filled it over by much, considering i put the 6 quarts in recommened by the book and possibly just a bit more

So i changed the oil in my xj this evening for the second time, i switched from the standard jiffy lube oil (Quackerstate) to mobile 1 synthetic. So my first question is wether is was a bad idea to make the switch and my second question is what happens if i over filled it. The reason i ask...
