Basic automotive knowledge question: The cables on our 89 were extremely frayed, so we replaced them today. But now the Jeep wont start, won't even try. Like as if we didn't have a battery in it at all. I just need someone to confirm: the positive cable runs from the positive post to the...

I'm sure everybody has heard that Johnny Cash passed away this morning. I'm kicking myself b/c I had a chance to see him perform a few years ago on his last tour, but I didn't make it. I've never liked most country music, but it seemed to me that Johnny had a song for whatever mood I was in at...

I've done a search, but I couldn't find anything that specifically answered my question. We put the Rusty's 3" kit on 2 weeks ago, and the back end was way higher than the front, so we ordered some Daystar 2" coil spacers. When we went to put them on today, we cant seem to get the front bump...

I am looking for stock front seats. I'd prefer gray (but tan will do since we're gonna cover them), and they need to mount in an 89 2-door. Some cosmetic problems are okay, since they'll be covered, but they should completely functional in terms of reclining/adjusting/folding forward. Thanks

Here's the background: me and my brother bought an 89 Sport 4x4 on wednesday (aug 20) for $450. To say it's been neglected is putting it very mildly. We're in the process of tearing the interior down to make it decent. We have so far discovered: in the cargo area, BEHIND a panel, five (5)...

This may sound dumb, but what are some typical problems that everybody has encountered on older XJs? My bro and I bought an 89 yesterday, and I was wondering if there were certain components that were crap from the factory and would need to be fixed (Aside from typical wear and tear). Also...
