Backstory So i'm doing my daily Craigslist search for my next XJ and i come across what could be perfect: '87 pioneer with 95k on the clock, original owner, all stock, some surface rust, selec-trac, awesome black houndstooth interior, etc. (some of you may be questioning why this my ideal jeep...

Ok, I finally found pictures. Years ago I looked at a 1986 XJ that had this really odd 2wd/4wd switch in the center console. I always wondered about it and never saw another one like it in person or online. And now there's one on Ebay. Here's the Link...

I've spent a lot of time thinking about what I want out of my next Jeep, and what I'm looking for is a 87-92 white XJ Limited. I would prefer 91 or 92 for obvious reasons. Not interested in two doors, I know that there were some made. Not interested in rust buckets, not interested in a trashed...

NAXJA folks, I have the opportunity to purchase a 1990 Wagoneer limited that is in mint condition. This vehicle has 43,000 original miles, is currently owned by the 90 year old lady who drove it off the lot brand new 20+ years ago, and has been garage kept in Virginia and only used for...

I’m currently looking at two XJ’s. The first is a ’91 limited with 98k on it, beautiful white paint, no rust, mint condition, leather isn’t even cracked. The other is a ’98 sport, 71k, nice hunter green, no rust on this one either, beautifully taken care of inside and out. First XJ is a...

I have the opportunity to pick up an '87Pioneer with 4.0 ax-15 @ 240xxx. Rust isn't that bad, rockers are as good as gone, floorboards are intact. Jeep starts and drives, shifts well, interior is cherry save one tear in the front seat. Seller says that the engine stalls when it warms up, i...

Saw this post on craigslist. The post says "factory towing and skids". I'm thinking that this sounds like the up country package for '87 which i believe was the factory D44. A little too much rust for my taste, but could be a good find for someone. http://newhaven.craigslist.org/cto/1591105751.html

I have a 1999 WJ 4.7 that needs a motor. The vehicle has 250,000 on the clock and needs is in beautiful condition. Not beautiful for its age, beautiful. I am thinking of rebuilding the motor, but would rather just trade for a running Xj. The transmission and T case on this jeep are sound, all...

I know it's a WJ, but i figured you guys could help out. My buddies dad just gave me his '99 grand with 250,000 on the 4.7 v8. I was able to drive it 40 miles home at highway speeds, but it was knocking and rattling the whole way. Long story short, the body, interior, tranny and x-case are in...

So I picked up a '99 with a blown 4.0. PO says that the tranny and Tcase are relatively new and were operating great before the engine went. i've been asking around about 4.0s to pick up and have gotten a really good response from members in the area. I've got two options i'm choosing from. Do I...

So I might be getting another XJ and it might need an engine so I might be looking for one in the near future. Given the rather non-committal nature of my request, i'll understand if somebody replies that they might have one and it might be this much. thanks, ECGTECH

Sorry to be long-winded, but here goes. I had an 89 for several years and loved it, everything about it. I spent a lot of time when I got her getting her in shape and had everything just the way i wanted it. Then I went to law school and started to realize that i had neither the time nor the...

Drove my Jeep ('89 4.0 AW4) 50 miles round trip yesterday with no problems. Parked it in the driveway, came back out an hour or so later and now all she will do is crank. Good strong crank, nothing wrong with battery. I have not had any problems with starting before and drive the jeep everyday...

'89 RENIX. My jeep has started to idle at around 450-500 rpm. Jeep will sometimes dip as low as 200 rpm and has completely stalled in traffic twice. This started after i disconnected some vacuum lines so that I could replace the water-pump. Before I did the WP, my jeep idled very steady at 700...

i want to put to cigarette-lighter style 12v plugs into the ashtray in front of my shifter. Has anyone done this before? I feel like this is obvious enough that someone has to have a decent write-up on it that i was just unable to find. looking forward to some creative responses to this one...

I have this lovely clunk in the passenger side of the front axle. I think it might be the U-joint just because it looks to be cracked around the pressed in sleeve. I was wondering if there is any way to definitely know that a U-joint is shot before i go through the headach of pressing them out...

My 4x4 actuator is no good and i'm hunting for a new one. i know i probably shouldn't be looking at used vacuum actuators as they are prone to failure, but i found a great deal on a used one (like 5 bucks). My jeep is an '89 and this actuator is off of a '93. Are the actuators off of the RENIX...

I have recently noticed a noise that sounds like someone is lightly tapping my front diff with a hammer. I only notice the noise when moving forward in two-wheel drive. The noise is not present while in four wheel hi or lo. This makes me think that maybe the four-wheel is not completely...

I recently lent my XJ to a friend of mine for about 3 hours so that he could run some errands. I think he broke something while he had it. The steering no longer locks in place when i remove the key and the shifter can be moved to all positions whether the key is in the column or not. It also...

My xj started making the lovely steel on steel death rattle of the water pump a few weeks ago. I pulled the belt and the water pump bearings are shot. My issue is that i just replaced the water pump last may. What happened? Did I tighten the belt to much and overstress the bearings, or did I...
