Repainting my 2000 XJ and removed all the glass and seal for a better job. I should have checked first but I cannot find a new seal for the rear glass in the liftgate. Anyone know of a source, and no the 84-96 does not fit. Thanks

After much thought and many dollars for gas I need to do something. I don't want to sell the XJ but I need to improve the mileage. I've got a 4.0, AW4, 4.11 gears, 32x11.50 BFG AT's and 5" of lift. I started lifting from day one, 2000, and do not know what my mileage should be. I do know...

I just bought a 02 KJ (Liberty) NP242 TC. This unit will be going on my 2000 XJ. Several things I have noticed about the KJ 242. Both the front and rear output are 32 spline, of course the rear is a slip yoke for now. The rear bearing housing is the newer style, but does not have a speedo...

I have a line on a 02-04 Liberty NP242 for cheap. Is this a bolt on? Angus

I need to rebuild my Tom Woods SYE CV shaft. It's been spinning for 75,000 and now has play in the CV centering pin. The local Spicer outlet needs the numbers for the CV centering pin and joints. Anyone done this and have the proper numbers? Thanks, Angus

Does anyone know if there is a u-bolt yoke for the 8.25? One of the strap bolts broke and the resulting removal has left half the needed threads. I'm good for now, but I need to replace a u-joints. While I have the shaft off I might as well fix this future problem for good. Angus

OK I've got a good one. I am helping a friend with his D35 non c-clip axle. The passenger side leaks gear lube like crazy. I have replaced the bearing and seal twice with the fix only lasting a few weaks. I have a press so the job is not a big deal, but it should go out like this. I have...

OK, I have read many posts about a clunking noise up front while going slow. My XJ would do it regularly when entering and exiting the driveway. My Jeep has a rebuilt WJ converted front axle so I thought it might be related to the new track bar angle and lack of extra support. Others have...

OK got an odd ball joint question. When I did my WJ conversion two years and 25K ago I changed all replacable parts. I have not done much wheeling since, but do love the steering and brakes. Anyway, I noticed an odd noise from the front end. Upon inspection the knuckles are minutely loose...

Need to cover my tires better and still want a flare. Bushwakers would work, but too many people have said they break. Rusty is advertising new flex flares, anyone use them yet? Angus

I have a puzzling issue. While using my A/C the electric fan is not coming on all the time. I allways thought the fan came on whenever the a/c is on, at least it did on my '90. Apparently the newer (2000) XJ's have a "dual" mode high presure A/C switch's. One of it's functions is to turn on...

I have a set of five, 16" wheels that came stock on my 2000 Freedon edition Cherokee. These were the same five spoke wheels used on the 1998 5.9 Grand Cherokee. I cannot show any pics on this forum?? If you are interested I will email them. There are 255/70R16 BFG AT's that are 2/3 worn...

I have had my Y2K XJ riding on a WJ D30 for 2 years now. I love the better brakes and steering but hate the 16" wheels. My Jeep came with 16's and I thought I was lucky at the time. Now that I want slightly bigger tires I'm not feeling the love as far as selection and of course ride. I...

OK, got a question/ comment. Please keep in mind I am not new to winter driving and 4wd's, just new to front traction diff's. Last year I regeared my '00 XJ and installed a TruTrac in the D30 front. The C8.25 has had a Powertrax since 2002. I have 31's and stock wheels. Lately in Kansas it...

Well I am finally getting tired of the bump steer and clunk out of my steering. I have the WJ conversion and now have a complete over the knuckle set up. My question relates to the frame bracket for the tracbar. When I first did the WJ knuckels I left the linkages under and built the tracbar...

Got a question about a NP231. I installed the PORC SYE kit the other day on a friends '92 XJ. I've rebuilt many of these and installed several SYE's. Everything went as normal and tested great. One oddity that I've never noticed was some freeplay on the front output yoke. It's not much, but...

Been thinking of swapping my 231 for a 242. What model and year Jeeps are good donors? I realize my XJ has the 23 spline and should stay with later models. I have seen several 242J's off of ZJ and WJ's but did not know if they would work since they are not using the AW4. Thanks, Angus

My brother has a '97 that has a busted e-brake button. The dealer only sells it as the complete e-brake handle and at a great cost. What years will fit or is it just '97 and up? Thanks

I am looking to fix my brothers 97 XJ e-brake handle. Everything works but the release button is broken. The dealer only sells the complete assemble at a rediculous price. Anyone?? Angus
