    FS in WI: 99 XJ, 2 door, 5 speed, 4x4,

    I bought a WJ so this is now for sale. It's a 1999 XJ, 2 door, 5 speed, 4wd. It took me nearly a year to find a Jeep with that combination! It has 126,000 miles, A/C, cruise, power mirrors, and cassette radio. It has a 2" receiver hitch and tows very smoothly. The engine is a 4.6L stroker with...

    2000 XJ randomly dies while driving

    After replacing a faulty fuel pump check valve, my XJ with about 114k miles developed a new problem. After driving for about 15 miles, the engine would buck under power and after 3 miles, eventualy died. After coasting to a stop, the engine would not restart until 10 minutes later. It then ran...

    TDC on my stroker is screwed up!

    I pulled the head off my engine this evening to replace a leaking head gasket. I found that TDC on my engine has been screwed up since I first started the engine 23k miles ago. Look at these pictures and tell me what's going on. First 2 pics show #1 piston at TDC, one on the compression...

    WJ 4.7L V8 swap into XJ?

    I've had this thought in the back of my mind since I put the stroker into my XJ 19k miles ago. Does anybody know of this swap being done? I've found this link of the 4.7L being put into a TJ. http://www.burnsvilleoffroad.com/articles/00_12.aspx I like the engine because the power is respectable...

    My Crane cam lift numbers

    I took the time to check the amount of lift for my Crane cam. It's a Crane 753905 and has been run in my stroker for 17,300 miles. I broke in the engine with Rotella T oil and have run an SL rated oil since then. I've always had a rough idle and had a CEL for a "cylinder 6 misfire". The good...

    Could worn camshaft cause cylinder misfire(CEL)?

    I've had a CEL coming from my stroker for the past 10k miles. I've disconnected the battery several times, but it always comes back as a "cylinder 6 misfire". I have the dreaded Crane 753905 cam, and I've heard of a few that have worn the cylinder 6 lobes. Could worn lobes cause a cylinder...

    2000 XJ only starts on 2nd try

    My fiance and I just bought a 2000 XJ sport 4.0L automatic tranny with 110k on the clock. The engine has never started for us on the first try. I always turn the key to on and wait for the fuel pump to prime. I can crank the engine forever on the first try, but it won't start. Normally I...

    Which Mopar Performance Cam for my stroker?

    Well, I'm planning for the day when I find out my Crane 753905 cam has to be removed. It's not if it fails, but unfortunately when it fails. I'd like to go with a Mopar Performance cam rather than the stock cam. I love the performance of the Crane cam, but I will not put another one back into my...

    Quick video of my stroker 70-100

    Yeah, I posted this over on Jeepsunlimited, but I thought you guys here would enjoy it just as much. It was done in 4th gear, and could have been quicker had I downshifted to 3rd gear. http://s29.photobucket.com/albums/c288/jeepinwi/?action=view&current=XJStrokerAccel2.flv

    Installed cruise on my 99 XJ, but not working

    I installed all the parts for cruise control on my XJ, but nothing works. Does anything light up when the cruise control is turned on or set? Just to make sure I did everything, here's what I did: -installed clockspring and new steering wheel with switches from a 2000 XJ -installed servo from...

    Installing factory Cruise control questions

    With a 2,000 mile road trip planned for January, I'm thinking cruise control would be a wise addition to my 99 XJ. I've done my research on this forum and want to make sure I know all the parts I'll need: -servo -clockspring -steering wheel with switches(99-01 steering wheel) -vacuum control...
