Hi All! been a while since i've been on here, now that i don't own an XJ anymore :(. but to the point, i have a 2000 expedition that has some rust on the body, not on a replaceable panel.it is the body along the B pillar seen when opening the door, just above the bolted on "step" to get into...

Good evening! Looking at picking up a 94' 4DR Country model this week. does anyone have any experience squeezing 3 car seats in the back? 2 would be the full-size anchorable type, and one would be a booster style. I know that this isn't really an optimal situation, but for only 2 days each...

Hi All! Been a while since I have been on the site, life is keeping me very busy. After many years of faithful service it is time for me to part with my XJ :( I unfortunately don't have the time i would like to spend enjoying it anymore, 2 jobs, and a new addition to the family on the way has...

93' 4.0 with 127K, AW4, NP231, stock except for ford fuel injectors. came out this morning to warm up the jeep and it turned over and started for maybe a second, then died. pumped the pedal a bit and tried again with the same result. haven't done any work on it in the past 1000 miles, so i...

Hi All! on my 93' 4.0 XJ, there are two elbows on my valve cover. the front elbow (as in closest to the radiator) is free-flowing, and is connected to rubber hose going into the airbox (just like every other stock early 4.0 HO engine). the rear elbow is connected to smaller hard vacuum line...

looking for someones dead 4.0. I don't need any accessories or any of that stuff. i want it mainly for educational purposes to slowly tear down and depending on how toasted the block is, maybe build back up as a backup for my current 93' 4.0. im in no rush and truly have almost no $ that i...

Morning all! 93' XJ 4.0, NP231, AW4, with 125K, stock except for mustang injectors. It may have been happening longer, but within the past week i have noticed (almost always when hot, sometimes when cold (engine temp)) that i have a very high-pitched whistle going on at idle. as soon as i give...

93' 4.0HO NP231, 125K, AW4, stock DD I've never really experienced a slipping transmission until today, so i wanted to bounce what i experienced off of you guys. While under load and going up hill, it felt kind of like a jerking motion. at first just once then i would continue to accelerate...

Good evening all! my buddies 2000 sport had a crank, but no start issue over the weekend and it presented as the crankshaft position sensor, which i've read is pretty common. odd thing was that all the gauges were working normally rather than being dead. this threw me off some, but we went ahead...

Hi All! You have provided a LOT of great info and advice for my XJ and helping me to decide on my next family hauler (Chrysler Town and country). I haven't bought one yet, b/c i am still doing the research, but im looking at the 2005-08 years and i want to find a forum that is similar to NAXJA...

Evening all! Looking for a great breakfast restaurant in the Raleigh area, preferably near Holly Springs, but you have had a good experience, i would be willing to travel some. I am specifically looking for a Mexican style breakfast restaurant if anyone knows of one around here. so far i have...

Afternoon all! 93 XJ, 4.0HO, 120K, AW4, NP231, OBD1:) I am trying GIS as well, but struggling to find info. Is it possible to get a OBD1 cable that will plug into my laptop from which i can then use some freeware to run live diagnostics? What would these diagnostics tell me as well? I'm...

Hi All! 93' 4.0HO, AW4, stock cooling system, radiator is ~5yrs old. i got one of those prestone easy flush kits, followed the instructions and reverse flush my radiator. Part of the instructions was to open the radiator drain XXXX, which i did and then let the coolant empty into a...

Hi All! Other than my trusty XJ, we have an 06' 4Runner 4.7 liter V8, 2WD SR5 trim. My wife and i have a son who is just about to turn 1 (4/3/10!), and apparently my wife's biological clock is ticking loudly b/c we are talking about having a 2nd child already. While i think we can fit all of...

Hi All! 93' XJ, NP231 4x4, 4.0HO, 120K, AW4, Stock. D30 up front and 27 spline 8.25 out back, do NOT have ABS. I've done some research but keep finding mixed results. i have the FSM, and it tells me that i will either have a single or double Cardin. That being said, which one do i have? If...

Evening all! 93' XJ 4.0HO, 4x4, AW4, NP231 120K. Just replaced my TRE's and did the Go-jeep home alignment. While that was definitely needed, i feel like maybe my axle is drifting ever so slightly one way or another and that will pull my steering off. If the road is flat and i am at speed, i...

Hey All! checking for my buddie's 2000 XJ, 4.0, 4x4 with 140K on it, AW4. His dash brake light seems to be stuck on. When he first brought it by i checked the parking brake linkage and all seemed good, until i got to his rear passenger wheel. he has blown the wheel cylinder. I was just going...

Evening all! 93' Sport, 4.0HO with 120K, AW4, NP231 4x4, bone stock. pulled my tie rod along with it's destroyed TRE's off today. It was more than a little unpleasant to remove them from the tie rod. i ended up letting them soak in liquid wrench for an hour or two, cleaning them off and...

Evening all! Yesterday I took a tooth brush and 409 to my engine bay to start cleaning it up (first time it has been cleaned that i know of). So needless to say, it was pretty nasty. on the front of the engine in between all the pulley's and waterpump and such was this grimy charcoal like...

Hey all, i know this is tech, but i would like your opinion mostly! My tie rod (drivers side) can be shifted up and down by hand pretty easily, and i had some un-even tire wear as well. So i want to replace the TRE's, and am a bit confused by the jargon... - It seems the TRE on the passenger...
