I just changed the ATF in my '96, and noticed there was a drip of coolant just below the oil drain bolt on the oil pan. Couldn't tell where it had come from. Anyone have any idea where it might have come out? I have a small drip from the radiator drain, but it seems highly unlikely anything that...

I replaced the front bumper on my '96 a few months ago with a horrible chinese copy from ebay. I don't have fog lights, and my old bumper had some plastic plugs that go in the fog light holes. The new bumper didn't come with these, and is already starting to rust around the holes. Where can I...

I've only got a 6 gallon air compressor, and as you can imagine it's not very usefull with my impact wrench. I've got a good compressor, but it has no tank. Does anyone know where I could buy a 20-30 gallon air tank? The biggest tank I can find without a compressor attached is 11 gallons...

I know several people have done various things with LED taillights...anybody done anything with the parking lights on the front? I have clear corners and recently put in some Xtravision headlights. Now the clear corners and parking lights look very yellow. I'm thinking about trying to put in...

I think it's just about broken in now. ;) Only major parts ever replaced are the starter and cat. Still gets about 24mpg highway. :D :wierd:

My XJ still has the original alternator at 200k. I'm thinking about rebuilding it just for the hell of it...it can't possibly have much life left. Ford and Chevy alternator rebuild kits are a dime a dozen on ebay and various websites. Don't see a late model Chrysler rebuild kit for any price...

The tires on my XJ are worn out, no doubt about it. They have almost 75,000 miles on them. :D I'm going to be getting new wheels and tires soon, but I'm keeping the old ones as spares. The old ones need balancing, which I can have done for free provided they have more than 2/32nd's tread left...

Recently I replaced the front bumper on my XJ, and haven't got around to finding a license plate bracket. In Oregon you are required to have a front license plate, although I've been driving around without one. Does anybody know if you can actually be pulled over simply for not having a front...

Last night I got lost down town...had to make alot of turns at full lock. Today when I first started my XJ I heard a weird whining noise under the hood, and I think it was the PS pump. I also noticed that when making turns it's a bit louder than it used to be. Is my pump on the way out...

So...I'm about to spend $1500 on my XJ for wheels, tires, and a few other things. I'm debating whether I want to do that or sell it and get a '97+, which I have wanted for a while. Do you think I would have trouble getting 3 grand for this? The good: - '96 XJ, 4.0, AW4, 4WD, 4 door - 100%...

Noticed the Sylvania Xtravision headlights are on sale at Schucks. One of my headlights is burned out, the other cracked. :D I'm going to be rewiring the lights soon, right now I'm only getting about 11v at the lights. Anyway...does anybody have the Xtravisions? Are they worth an extra $8 each...

I'm trying to put together a cheap 2" lift. I'm either going to use a 2" spacer in the front or F-150 springs. Which would be better?

I'm adding power windows to the front two doors on my '96. What year motors/regulators/other crap will work for me? Will '97+ fit? I'd like to get the newer motors since the old windows have a reputation for getting slow...

Up for sale is a set of 2/0 battery cables for an XJ. Depending on the current condition of your battery cables, these can make your starter turn much faster, your headlights brighter, and give you an extra volt on your voltage meter. When I did it to my '90 it started about 2 seconds faster...

I've been thinking lately of different ways to get a high idle. I know there is a wire in the ECM that I can hook up to for this, but that only gives you around 1000RPMs. Something like 1200-1500 would be much better. Might it be possible to use a power lock actuator for this, to move the...

A couple days ago I installed one of those Prestone radiator flushers, and then flushed my radiator. This involved opening up the drain on the radiator a few times, and now it's leaking. Here's where it gets weird... When you first fill up the radiator, it leaks out the drain. Drive for about...

Every time I come to this forum I have to log in again. I allways have the box checked that says "remember me". My browser doesn't have a problem with cookies and I stay logged in fine on other Vbulletin forums. Any ideas why??
