bought a 97 Country for my wife that we are "restoring" little by little with all new parts and a new engine. Looking at doing some coil spacers and shackles for a lift to fit some Rubicons on bigger tires. This is more of a DD, very light off-road/camping stuff. So only 1.5-2" lift. Trying to...

Do I need to know anything before installing my new junkyard zj gearbox tomorrow? Des anything need to get greased? The gasket on the toothed shaft of the box appeared to have some grease like substance on it...

So I pulled the gearbox from a ZJ since the one in my XJ is leaking pretty bad. It was easier to pull it with the ZJ arm still attached. I've only got 3" of lift on my XJ, is it ok to use the ZJ pitman arm with this amount of lift? Or should I take it off and reuse the one on my XJ? I know the...

Anybody have the schematic for the FitchVA relay box and switch panel?

My 97 auto has 3.55 gears... I'm running 245/75/16 tires and don't plan to go any bigger in the next 4-5 years, if ever. From all of the gear charts I've seen, that size and gearing is in the range of "best highway mileage". Should I just stick with 3.55 gears if I don't plan on bigger tires? Or...

Will this wiring work? http://www.ebay.com/itm/10-GAUGE-AWG-WIRE-100-FT-RED-CABLE-POWER-GROUND-STRANDED-PRIMARY-FAST-SHIPPING-/280914131628?pt=US_Car_Audio_Power_Speaker_Wire&hash=item4167c97aac#shId Reading Daniel Stern's lighting page...

Just installed a ZJ ohc using a minivan frame into my 97xj. Everything works great besides the outside temp. It reads 75° no matter what... Its a brand new sensor as well. Could it be that the two temp senor wires need to get switched to the bcm connecting wires? I wasn't sure if they had to go...

Been following this thread http://www.naxja.org/forum/showthread.php?t=949746&page=4 However I can't find the plug underneath the steering column to tap into with the bcm. I've got a 97 country with power everything and has that little keyless entry plug between the visors. I got the power to...

Last night while driving home, my wife's 99, manual, had the battery light come on and off twice within a half mile stretch. Is it safe to assume that this could be a failing alternator? She said there weren't any other issues other than the bat light coming on. The other day her aux fan...

Just got done doing a 2” coil spacer and shackle lift on my 97 auto. The wheels are from a ford ranger and needed the lug nut holes bored just a tad. When I was taking off from the house where we did it I noticed some rattles coming from the rear. All of the bolts are tightened up. Not sure...

A guy on my local off-road forum is selling some older style BFG-MTs for a pretty decent price. A set of 5 matching with 14-15/32 tread depth. My only issue is that the tires date from 05-07. I haven't seen the tires in person to see if there's any weather checking and what not. How safe would...

at your disposal... what would you have them make? I'm building my 97 Cherokee to be an expedition type rig, light wheeling, camping, site seeing etc... Plans are to run 265/75/16 tires on roughly 3-3.5" lift and a Ford 8.8 in the rear. My cousin is a machinist and the thought just occurred to...

Just to clarify that I'm reading their webpage correctly. http://www.dirtboundoffroad.com/featured/slip-yoke-eliminator-hd-yoke-style-by-dirtbound-offroad/ I can use the Hack n Tap with a NP231 tcase and I just get a stock front driveshaft for the rear. Is that all there is to it? Anything...

Does this belong to anyone here? http://bend.craigslist.org/cto/2892273642.html My brother in-law is looking for an XJ as a dd for work and camping rig for his family.

What is the part # for a 1997 fuel level sender/sensor? Can't find one for the life of me... Mine has gone wonky. I read that it was a fairly common occurrence in the 97's, just can't find where to buy the part.

What years of power steering pumps could swap into a 97? Looking at Morris 4x4 which didn't clear things up as they have some ranging from 84-01, 97-00 etc

Is it possible to use weather stripping from a parts store for a cherokee door seal? My 97 leaks on the passenger side front door right above the arm rest at the top of the door. I don't see any wholes or cracks so I assume it just doesn't have as snug a fit.

So I go to the store this morning, come back out, lights on the dash turn on, but the battery doesn't crank and just clicks once. My XJ is a 97. I go home, get the battery out of my wife's Cherokee (99), go back and it cranks right over. I take my battery in to get tested, it tests full power...

Been doing some surfing on the web and there's a few cheap mods that seem like they're no brainers for increasing MPG and wanted some input. http://www.naxja.org/forum/showthread.php?t=1053241 Doing this mod ^^ seems like it would help w/gas mileage as it is using colder air for the engine...

I assume it's the TPS. I've got a 97 auto, 231 and it doesn't seem to be shifting at the proper time. Especially around 30-35 MPH it's often up in the 2k-2700 RPMS and sometimes wont shift until I let off the gas a little bit. Shifting just doesn't seem as smooth as the other autos that I've...
