I have always had great luck using these forums, getting help, and resolving issues in the past so here goes... I recently purchased a non-running 1993 Jeep Wrangler YJ 2.5l with an AX5 to use as a platform for a build. I still have my XJ. This Wrangler will not start! The previous owner...

Hey, I identified a 4wd '97 XJ I am looking at buying and the owner said that he is selling it because the Jeep wont go into reverse? What part(s) on the AW4 could fail that would cause this issue. I haven't yet test driven it so this is all the information I have. Any ideas? Also, what...

Hello! Can anybody tell me how to properly install a Torque Converter/Pump Ring Bushing? (pic below) I have the TC removed and I am wondering if it goes onto the TC shaft and then I slide the whole torque converter onto the trans input shaft. It seems the ring just barely pushes through the...

So I have the opposite problem as most on this forum: my check engine light will not come on! When I turn the key to on the light never illuminates. I need ideas on how to trouble shoot this. I have swapped the bulb in the dash with a known working one and still nothing. The light not...

Question on swapping a new (used) auto trans into a 98 Cherokee: are all year Cherokee auto trannys a direct swap considering the ECU, driveline, etc.? What is the best auto trans out of all the years? Thanks guys!

Hey, I have a set of Rusty's 4.5" lifted leaf springs that came with crappy rubber bushings back in 2006 when I bought the lift kit. I am pretty sure that they are toast now so not wanting to replace my springs I bought Rusty's replacement polyurethane bushings for the springs (specific to the...

Has anybody used this steering linkage upgrade from Rugged Ridge? What do you guys think? http://www.quadratec.com/products/56118_102_07.htm I have an 8" lift and am currently running the stock draglink, a 3/4" drop Pitman Arm, and ZJ Tie Rod. My steering wheel has a lot of play and I was...

I have a 92 Jeep Cherokee with the 4.0 liter and it has A/C. Currently all my A/C lines are disconnected and I have no plans to fix this. At the same time my serpentine belt needs to be replaced and I was wondering if it is possible for me get a belt that will simply bypass the A/C compressor...

Hey guys, I am curious, how long would a stock Dana 35 hold up running a set of 35" All-Terrains? So far on my stock 35 I have run 33's for a whole year without any problems. I currently run 32 A/Ts but I have plenty of wheel well space to go bigger and I can score a set of 35s right now but...

I am looking at buying a red 1997 Jeep Cherokee Sport. The funny thing is that the guy selling claims to know Jeeps and wheels and he said that it's a Sport, but it has color-keyed red bumpers and fender flares. The entire Jeep is red except for the roof rack. The Jeep also has stock lower...

I need some recommendations on brands/sets of brake lines that will fit a 8" lift on a Cherokee. Throw up some ideas and links. Thanks!

Do coil spring compressors harm the integrity of coil springs when you are swapping coils on your Jeep? I am referring to the style in this link from the AutoZone tool rental program...

Are there any performance differences in the way an XJ handles and drives from installing an 8" coil spring vs. installing a 6.5" spring plus a 1.5" spacer? Right now have a 4.5" spring with a 2" and a .75" spacer and plus the stock coil isolator and I think by switching all the spacers out to...
