97 XJ with 202K on it. Engine rebuild somewhere around 120Kish.... I've replaced the rad with an all aluminum-top-of-the-line-rad, water pump, thermostat (twice), hoses (yes, spring is in the lower), thermostat housing, temp sensor, fan clutch, electric fan (and confirmed it's working)...

Ok, I know someone is going to spaz on me, but I've read ALL the threads about track bars (many, many hours) and I still can't find an answer for what I want. Can anyone suggest a track bar for MY set up, not yours with 47" of lift and 300" tires please..... My set up: -97 XJ with a 3.5"...

I finally got around to making some changes to the rig and picked up a new trailer. First the xj: -regeared to 4.10s WOW! What a difference! -bumped from 245/75r16 MTRs to 265/75r16 BFG all terrains -picked up a set of Moabs and blasted and painted them graphite -no picks, but installed a...

I'm looking to finally get out of my stock 3.55s. I need a carrier and gears for the front and gears for the rear 8.25. Please quote shipped price. I'm at 48316. Thanks!

Please let me start out by saying this is not a lock out problem!!! I already tried that fix. Here is my problem, all the windows work up and down except the passenger side window. It goes down, but not up. It doesn't go up from the driver's or the passenger's side switch, but it will go down...

Ok. I found tons of threads where the cable became stripped or disconnected from the big plastic thing that's attached to the window, but none describing my issue. The window goes down from both passenger and driver's switch with no grinding noise. It does not go up. No motor noise when I push...

Does anyone know where I can find a cable for the temperature control on my 97? Mine has a bad kink and I need to replace it. I can't seem to find one anywhere and I can't imagine what the stealership will charge. Thanks!

Ok, so I now know I have keyless entry on my 97. The problem is the Previous Owner didn't hand over any fobs. Since it's already wired for this option, can I find a matching module (pic below) and fob from a donor vehicle and just swap parts?

Since I have no idea what this is called, I can't research it :confused: It's located under the plastic cover between the visors on my 97. I want to mount my cb to the plastic cover and I want to know if I can just remove the circuit board or do I need to work around it. Thanks!

Ok. I've replaced my 1/4" cable with 5/16" Blue steel with a breaking strength of 13K or so pounds. The wimpy hook that was on the cable needs to be 'beefed up'. What size winch hooks are you guys running? Is 9200lbs working load enough? The winch is only 6,000lbs (yeah, yeah, kinda small for...

I recently upgraded from steel to synthetic (Gorilla blue steel) rope. I upgraded from the 1/4" that was on it to 5/16". I was only able to fit about 70' on it and I have about 30' left over. I want to make and extension out of it to keep in the XJ. Any ideas on the best / safest way to...

Has anyone replaced just the cable? I found tons of info on swapping parts on the HVAC unit and core, but nothing on just the cable. I don't want to remove 1/2 the I/P if I don't have too. I'm in no big hurry since I have heat. The problem is a bad kink in the cable won't allow me to go to...

I've wired up some simple stuff on the XJ, but I'm a little leary to start wiring up my 8-Hella 55watt lights on my safari rack. I plan on 'feeding' all the lights through the liftgate opening, but I'm not sure the best way to get the power to the switches then the lights themselves. I plan on...

I recently bought a used safari rack that had 8 of these lights mounted on it. The lights are only 1 year old and look brand new. Clear glass, no cracks or scratches. I'm keeping 4 for side / back up lights and replacing the fronts with Hella 500s to match the lights on my bumper otherwise I'd...

For the first 5000 miles of my ownership, my XJ ran flawlessly. All of sudden, I started having problems with it missing and sputtering while I'm cruising down the road, both highway and city speeds. I can stomp the gas, and it accelerates fine, but when I back off, it starts to sputter again. I...

Ok. Picked a full set of power, leather (dark grey outside and light inner) 08 Grand Cherokee seats tonight and they are bueatiful! I can feel my butt riding comfortably down the trail already! Let the fun begin. I don't recall seeing a swap for the 07-08 Grand seats, so I'll try and document...

Forgive me if this is a repeat question, but I can't seem to find any threads releating to late model WK - tons on 06 and earlier Grand seats. I'm picking up a full set of 07 WK power leather seats this weekend and plan on swapping them into my 97 XJ with manual seats. I'm assuming I will need...

The stock seats in my 97 with 180K are very tired (of supporting my fat butt) so it's time to swap in some new ones. Any recommendations for something thats comfortable for a DD and offers a little more support than the stockers? As mentioned before, I'm not the slimmest guy around the waist, so...

I thought I would share with everyone. This trailer is about the handiest (and coolest looking IMHO) thing to own (besided an XJ of coarse). It's pulled by my XJ with ease, holds alot of wieght, looks good and even floats if you need a boat! It started out as a M416 that recieved a spring...

Ok. A little more detail. 1997 XJ with 170,000 miles on a 4.0L. Ran great for the past 4000 miles no issues whatsoever - until yesterday. I'm backing into my driveway after pulling my trailer around town with about 1000 lbs of shingles (ran great all day), when all of a sudden, it stalls. No...
