Sorry to need so much help on this, but I'm stumped. I put in my new CSF radiator from DPG Offroad. Except for a problem w/ the trans line hookup, everything went pretty well. Now that I've got everything put back together, the top of the radiator moves front to back. I can move it about...

In the middle of installing a CSF radiator from DPG Offroad. 2000 XJ, auto trans. The trans lines fit into two places on the driver side of the new radiator, like on the old one. Upper one is a hard line with a screw on fitting. No problem there. On the bottom, the new radiator has an elbow...

I've found writeups on changing front U joints in a D30, but not on how to tell if they're bad. 2000 XJ sport. In doing my pre-trip check up on the XJ, I took a look at the U joints in the front axel (D30). I remember having at least one side replaced by a shop a couple of years ago. I...

I took a 4 hour trip in my 2000 XJ, after just having the AC recharged. Started hearing some noises from under the hood that seemed to be worse when the AC was off. Got to destination, and mechanic friend pinpointed it as bearings going out in AC compressor. I noticed what appeared to be black...

I have 2 Hella 500's on my front bumper, and I'd like to add one or two more. I don't know much about wiring, but I think I can just splice the pigtails coming off the one(s) I want to add into the wire powering the other two (the wire that goes to the relay). Is that correct, or do I need to...

I need to replace my rocker panels, and I found this rocker panel replacement. They're $25, I've heard good reports on their stuff, and it's within 45 min drive or so, so I could save the shipping. Problem is it lists it as being for '86 to '95, and I've got a 2000. Does anyone know how much...

I'm trying to make some cargo nets for the rear cargo area of the XJ, and I need to know when XJ's started coming standard with rear shoulder belts. A friend has sent me pics of his 88 and 89, and they don't have them. His 93 does. So, it looks like sometime between 90 and 92, they became...

I searched for an answer to this, but didn't find any. I installed Rusty's lower control arms, w/ adjustable ends. The ends screw into the arm about four inches or so, with fine threads. They come with a jam nut. I don't see the point of the jam nut. It seems that I'll have more flex with...

I searched, but didn't find an answer. I have an 02 sensor gone bad on my 00 xj. Question is whether they're all the same so that I can just order one without having to checking in detail about the part #? Thanks

Put an SYE in this weekend w/ a friend's help. Driving into work this AM, I realized that it's definitely stuck in 4WD. The TC shifter lever goes through the entire shift range, but appears to not be doing anything. Before, you had to give it a bit of tug to get it into 4WD High; now it just...

First: I did search for this, quite a bit, but for some reason I can't find it. 1. Any good writeups on replacing the power steering box? 2. I've seen mention of using a YJ box - how does that work, and are there any writeups on it? 3. Is "power steering box" the same as "power steering...

I was hearing a clunking noise every time I hit even a small bump, as well as every time I applied the brakes. A professional mechanic friend checked all the usual sources: control arms, tie rod ends, brake caliper, shock mounts, track bar mount, etc. Everything seemed tight except the DS tie...

Anybody know the difference between these? I have a pair of 500FF's on my 2000 XJ. I'd like to add a third one, and have one as a spare. I see a good deal on a pair of 500's. I know the cover design is different, but how about size? brightness? I haven't actually seen a pair of the 500's except...

I recently installed a pair of Hella 500 lights on the front of the XJ. I think they look great, and they put out a lot of light. I measured things, and I could easily fit a third up front. They sell them as singles. My question is: can I just buy a single, and connect the hot wire to the hot...

I'm trying to replace my headlights on my 2000 xj, and two of the four phillips head screws that hold the retainer ring around the headlight are seized up. This happened to me on the other side a year or so ago. All I could do was use a Dremel to grind off the one screw head I couldn't get out...

I'll be putting on a gas tank skid soon on my 2000 XJ, 4" of lift. I currently have no fuel pump issues, but I was wondering if I should replace the fuel pump before making it harder to get at with the skid plate. My first thought is to let sleeping dogs lie . . .

I have a 2000 xj. I bought a Rusty's 1" drop Xmember, and I hope to replace the stock one soon. Any advice on going about this? I did search on this. I'm wondering if I can just put a jack under the transmission to keep it in place, and then disconnect it in place from the crossmember. I'm...

I want to extend my transmission vent tube (2000 XJ, stock transmission), but I can't find where the vent tube ends. Based on some research, I think the tube circled in red in the photo might be it. Can anyone confirm this? Thanks!

I went to order a Dynomax Super Turbo Cat Back Kit from Quadratec. I noticed that online, it says they only fit XJ's up to 1999, but the catalog says through 2001. I called them up, and the guy said that it looks like there is a misprint in the catalog, because he had a note saying that they...

I was under the impression that an OEM gas tank skids will fit all years of Cherokees. It appears that might not be the case, that there are two classes: pre-97, and then 97-2001. Is this the case? I bought an OEM skid recently in great shape for my 2000 XJ. It appears it might be the older...
