Thank you for your help and suggestions, these were the type of responses I was hoping for. FD.

I've got a 96 XJ 4.0 and want to put a second battery under the hood. I do a lot of back country camping and I'm tired of packing a second battery and cables in the cargo. I know there are off the shelf kits (too much $), but I also know that replacing the air box with, say a K&N filter, you...

bcmaxx, I used 2" heavy wall tubing and came off the rear hitch square tubing, and left the stock bumper alone. It swings on a 1" pin.

There was a post a few days ago about someone wanting to mount fuel on a stock roof rack. I built this PVC rack over my stock rack about 4 years ago and it has worked fine for thousands of miles. I used sch 40 2" PVC. I do not go off road with my fuel up high, I off load at a 'base' camp. I cut...

Thanks Al, I'll try that today, Dean.

I've got a 96 and the rear dome (cargo) light is not working. It's got power and a good bulb. I've never seen it work and don't even know how to switch it on. There's a black, what appears to be, slider switch that I can't get to move one way or another. Anyone know what I'm talking about? Or...

I've got a 95 automatic with 102K. It has the original starter that seems to work just fine. I use my Jeep for remote camping. In other words if my starter leaves me I could be missing for a while. So, since I didn't have enough things to worry about today, I thought I'd start stressing about...

I replaced the pump 6K ago with a factory pump. I called the auto shop and told them not to do anything. When I picked it up he said he took the fuel filter off and inspected/tapped it and it didn't appear to be too dirty so he reinstalled it. He said because of the low fuel pressure at high...

Got a 96 XJ 4.0, which is experiencing a loss of power over 2500 to 3000 RPM and above. The more you step on the gas, the worst it gets. If you let off the gas you can creep the speed up. Runs fine at low RPM but bogs anytime you punch it. After reading other posts I was convinced it was a...

I've got a 95XJ with 3.5" lift, 3.55 and 10.5x31's. I too get between 19 @ 20 mpg. I keep it right at 65 mph (2000RPM). I regeared my speedo when I changed tires and have also checked speed with GPS. Speed is within 1/2 mph. 100K on motor and it runs well. That's conservative trip driving, no...

That site is overlooking the Panamint Valley, which is right next to Death Valley. I'm camped at the base of the Panamint Mountains. From there (close to sea-level) you can wheel up to about 8000 feet. Lots of great ghost towns and gold mining sites to explore, shafts, tramways, etc. If you like...

Driving around all those trees just seems like too much work! FD.

I rigged up this little "shelter" for my XJ after spending one too many nights in a desert windstorm with my tent flapping and hitting me in the face while trying to sleep! I made a two foot bed extention which pins to the bumper and has adjustable support legs. The cover is heavy vinyl and...
