'96 XJ Classic Up-Country I'm resto-modding my XJ. It's been my daily driver since I bought it new in '96. Never been off-roaded. Now I'm going through and fixing all the little things that bug me about it. I'm on the original shocks. I want a set of really good road shocks, I'm looking at...

So my steering wheel is all beat up and I absolutely hate those covers everybody runs. I've been looking at this wheel, but it says it's for export, non-airbag models. Is there a way to make it work, or a better solution? https://www.quadratec.com/.../leather-steering-wheel-95...

Does the ABS work through the PCM, or is it standalone?

OK, so I have a '96 XJ I bought new, and I still love it. In the past couple of years I've put a reman engine in it, new alternator, water pump, radiator, hoses. I've also completely redone the front suspension (including ball joints) and had both front and rear diffs rebuilt, LSD rebuilt, new...

OK, so I see lots of posts about people wanting to get rid of their ABS brakes ... what if you want to put 'em ON? I bought my '96 XJ new, and I'm stilly daily driving it today. It's totally a road dog, I've never off-roaded it. My one regret with mine is it's a 4-door, not a 2-door, so...

OK, so I overheated my '96 XJ so bad it cooked the short block. #2 cylinder has only 20 lbs of compression and the walls are scratched to hell. Guess the rings are broken. #3 only has 40lbs, and I'm pretty sure the block is warped; it keeps blowing the head gasket between #s 3 and 4. I can...

Well, looks like the old girl needs a heart transplant. The heater valve disintegrated on the highway back in September. Before I noticed anything, it PEGGED the temp gauge, getting so hot she wouldn't run at all. Not frozen up, but wouldn't run. Cooled her off, and she'd start and run, but...

So last summer my cat started rattlin. When I went to have it replaced the guy told me my 20 yea-old muffler had a hole in it too, so I had him replace it with a stock one. I like my Jeep quiet. It worked fine for a year and a couple of months. The only thing I didn't like about it was when...

Will an NP242 Transfer Case From a 96 XJ Fit A 98?

Looking at an XJ in Philly on the internets. Looks great to me, but you know the internets. Need an inspector to go to the dealer and look it over. It's been undercoated, so a thorough rust inspection is most important to me. Does anyone have any recommendations?

Cracked another head on my XJ. Head rebuilder on had an 0331 head, which he said was a direct replacement. I know an 0331 is a downgrade, but this XJ is my daily driver, and I've got to get it running. Guy doing the work just called and said there's no place for the temp gauge sensor. Is...

So, the head's cracked. Blew the top radiator hose off and lost all the coolant. What's the best source for a remanufactured 7120 head?

OK, so on a cooler day, my temp gauge sits just to the left of 210. Anything over 90, and it sits just to the right of 210. That's a recent development. I bought my XJ new in '96, and it's always operated just to the left of 210, even on really hot days. Back in 2004 (70,000 miles) the guys...

1996 XJ Up Country 160,000 all-street miles OK, so last summer, the Kevin's Off Road track bar failed. Replaced it with a Rough Country bar. Also put in a Moog HD steering damper with a lifetime warranty: http://www.oreillyauto.com/site/c/de...2894&ppt=C0203 The 50,000 mile warranty tires...

OK, 96 XJ Up_Country 158,000 miles Last Summer, out of nowhere the steering went crazy. Was first diagnosed as a bad steering box. Put in a NAPA stock replacement box. Turns out, the problem was the KOR track bar. Put in a Rugged Ridge track bar and bracket...

96 XJ Up-Country 155,000 miles Mall-Crawler .... total street Jeep OK, so I'd been wanting to retire the old girl. She's been GREAT, but in the past year-and-a-half, I've had to have both diffs rebuilt, new front hubs, new starter, new radiator, new steering box, new Rough Country track bar...

OK, so I have a 96 XJ Up Country w/NP242. Just had the front and rear differentials rebuilt; new hubs on the front, and the limited slip unit rebuilt in the rear. Got over 2 grand in them. I love my Jeep, but the paint is crap, it got sideswiped, and the interior sucks. I'd also much prefer...

I've been thinking about retiring my 4 door and getting a 2 door. I've noticed that some appear to have vents on the rear side windows, and some do not. Can anyone tell me which years have them, and which don't, and how they work? Thanks.

Looks like my engine may be bad. Looking for a source for new 4.0 long and short blocks. Searched, but haven't found anything that's not a reman. Can anyone help?
