I want to move my trans cooler to the roof. I haven't worked out routing of the coolant lines yet. My question is; Will the pump push the fluid up another 4' to the roof. Bad idea? I have read that the AW4 pumps at about 50psi. I'm out of ideas on finding cool air for a cooler. If I put it...

A little background: I'm running 35's, geared 4.88. This is my second transmission/TC combo doing the same thing(this trans ran cool in the jeep it came out of). I have a fan cooled auxiliary cooler inside the front crossmember and behind the winch bumper. Not an ideal location but space is...

I bought this decal set NOS from our local Jeep Dealer 10 years ago when I was restoring my dad's 1990 Jeep Cherokee Laredo. I decided to keep it simple and just leave it black and no stripes/decals. I paid $250 for the set. They are unopened so I don't know of the condition. They have been...

This is my 2000; It will, for no particular reason, spike the coolant temp while sitting ata stoplight or drive through. I'm not loosing coolant. In fact when this happens, I don't notice any change in how it runs. Just the gauge will jump from 215 to 250 in a mili-second and as soon as I...

High Beam has them on sale for $235 a pair. I can't find any reviews. They are DOT compliant. Has anyone ran them, if so, how do you like them? How will they do in the snow? Will they ice up bad? I drive in heavy snow at least 4 days a year, not much but when it snows around here, we get a...

I ask because a young lady in your area had a lift put on her XJ and the knuckleheads that lifted it, messed up her master cylinder getting to the drivers side shock nut. Its leaking, she doesn't have the time/resources to get it fixed. Maybe someone will have a spare laying around and can put...

I have read that it will work but the one I bought doesn't. Well it worked for one second and that was it. I have read that you have to attach the antenna wire to ground (doesn't make sense) and some say no but mine would not work at all until I grounded the antenna wire but it was short lived...

I thought I would show off my rear bumper that I picked up used. I got it cheap so I put my home built rear bumper project on hold to use this one. I will say, it mounts very solid and should hold up to what ever i do to it. Since im getting older I do less rock crawling and more expedition...

I haven't contributed in a while so I thought I would do a DIY write up. I have fixed about 10 XJ's like this over the years and the fix lasts a good long while. As our XJ's get older the brakes tend to wear a groove on the knuckle where the brake pad guides rest on them. *There will be a...

It said I was due so I paid it. Normally it comes out automatically so i think it was a change in my bank accounts that caused an issue there. So i paid it through paypal and set it up on "automatic renewal" but I once again received an email saying it wasn't paid. Do we have a board member...

I have tried two of the receivers and still no luck. I think its something else so I need some steering in the right direction to troubleshoot. The transmitter(key fob) seems to be working. I programmed it to the owners manual instructions

I picked this unit up used local for real cheap but I didn't get the nut stripes for mounting it. I cannot find any info for just the mounting hardware on Smittybuilts website. Will a regular XJ trailer hitch nut strip work? And where do I find everything I need for mounting the HiLift and...

Of all the things I have done to the 6 XJ's/MJ's I have owned, I have never had to rebuild a steering column. My 1990 was just failed for the VA state safety inspection due to the steering column play in the tilt. I need sources for parts and parts diagrams before I tear into it to see what I...

Right now my trail rig is "Lincoln Locked" in the rear with 4.88 gears, Yukon Alloys, RuffStuff truss and ZJ brakes. I rarely drive this rig on the street anymore since I now own a trailer and a welded rear just sucks, but I admit, its fun to drive every once in a while. I blew up a few lunch...

Okay, its been years since I put a head on any of my XJ's so my memory is rusty. The Jeep; 1989 MJ with a 1998 4.0, still running RENIX on it. Still running the RENIX intake/exhaust. The head is cracked or the head gasket is blown. I have a 1994 head on a used engine that I'm going to swap...

I ask because my 94 with a 96 4.0 and new timing chain gets terrible fuel economy. Its bone stock getting 10mpg I have tried everything, replaced everything. Here is the list of new parts; NGK O2 Champion plugs CTS MAT MAP injectors FPR Bosch fuel pump(old one died) Accel cap, wires, rotor...

Im tired of getting 12mpg(mixed driving) on a stock XJ, my trail rig does better turning 35's! A little history; 94, AW4, NP231, all stock. 289,000 on the chassis and tranny I just installed a newish motor, its a 96 block with only 90k on it. My last engine was burning 2 quarts a week. It...

Okay, I lost my notes since I put my last motor in a year ago, and I can't find Jon Kelly's(5-90) website which has this listed. I have my motor ready to come out of my 94 but I want everything ready to put the new one in before I pull it. Whats the size? Thread? Length? Why don't we have a...

My 90 Laredo does great in the winter keeping charged but once the hot weather hits and the AC is on, it falls flat on its face. I can't run the AC, my volts drop to 8 or less and my lights dim etc. I had my alt tested(3rd one in 6 years) and it charges fine with no extra load(AC, lights...

My son's MJ is in need of some one to diagnose his wiper issues, they do not work! I'm 3 hours away in Roanoke and he has no tools or practical knowledge of fixing things just simple maintenance. My other option is to find a reputable shop and whip out the credit card
