After 1 year and 15000 miles I need to replace my IRO tracbar. The weld in bung has wollowed out - just like it has for a few other friends who bought them. Overall, I'm not really impressed with their tracbars. The Jam nut was tightened and lock tited on, and the bung still wollowed out. I'm...

Well the bracket ripped off. I boogered it back on, added some gusseting and it held up for a few off road trips until I drove into a tree. Then it fell off. I have a friend who is an actual welder by trade, so the next time I smack a tree I will take the mounts off the frame! What...

Simple job turned into a major one. I now have Oxygen Sensor Heater codes for B1S1, B1S2. Over the weekend I replaced the B2S2 oxygen sensor. Because of the stupid design where the sensor literally touches the bell housing, the wires broke on the OE sensor and shorted together - I always had...

My Jeep has a P0158. I believe the wires on the sensor finally broke and shorted. The driver on the ECU is not burnt out (yet) as it will occasionally go out. Have checked the voltage on the sensor, and it's reading 1V ... but will show .3-.8 when it's working. The problem is - and this is why...

I'm really confused here. I'm not sure what I am supposed to be seeing for voltage ... or what the connectors are supposed to do. Can someone help me! The window tries to go up (but it's already up). It won't go down, I don't hear the motor attempt to do anything to go down. I hear it try...

Well - I've hit a point where I now think I am in way over my head. I have done RMSs before on older 4.0s. It is easy. I tore into my 2000 to replace it's RMS and, I have the "Wingless" RMS. From what I see from searching on google - there are many, many different sets of procedures. No two...

I'm in the process of dropping the oil pan to replace the pan gasket and rear main seal. It seems like I am going to have to remove the pre-cats and exhaust crossover in order to get to the left rear pan bolts. Are there any tricks? Is it possible to do without removing the pre-cats? I have...

Now that it is going to start getting warm out soon, I thought I would try, for a 10th time, to get rear working brakes. When I bought the Jeep in 2010, the rear brakes worked fine. Parking brake even worked. It all continued to work until 2011 when I replaced shoes *and* the hardware kit...

This is an odd one. I have (had?) 3.5'' Rough Country springs in the front of my Cherokee. It was on the factory control arms. With the fat lip cow catcher bumper, it sagged to about 3'' or so. Not a big deal. I just put in new control arms. They are a bit longer since they are for a lift...

I almost bought Walker 36412 ... but apparently that's the one for the trans crossmember. The hanger that goes to the rear "crossmember" ripped off the exhaust pipe. NOT the one that goes to the rear frame behind the axle. It is almost right above the axle, a bit forward. Anyone know what...

I finally got a good look at the battery cables on my 2000. They are quite rough. I have an idea for what I can do for everything but the starter to battery connection. For this, I can't get a good idea about what to do about the proprietary connection that has the solenoid and power wire in...

I bought some hockey pucks yesterday to make bump stops. Now that I have lower backspace wheels and bigger tires (32''running diameter), I have to make bumpstops. My Jeep has 3.5'' of lift - measured and verified. Well, there abouts. One size is 3-3/4 for some reason. Oddly enough, there's...

Went to replace the trans mount tonight and that 18 mm bolts will just not budge. doing the following ... does anyone think this will work? Started feeling around and saw that the top was covered in dirt. Cleaned out the threads (there's maybe 1/4 inch exposed on top). Ended up tieing some...

My 2000 XJs 4.0L was pretty quiet when I got it - the quietest 4.0 I've had. Over the past few years, it's got pretty chattery. It didn't sound like a broken / cracked flex plate - I checked and the flex plate was not broken and the bolts were not lose. Hot idle...

This is a strange one - I searched and didn't find anything on this. 4.0L engine, not sure on mileage maybe mid 120s? Odometer is off by quite a bit. In August, the Check Engine light came on. A few months earlier, I had ripped the evap system out by mistake. Had a friend help in hooking it...

Has anyone else had this happen? The exhaust is blocking me from removing the bolts for the inspection cover. The Jeep has developed a bit of a chatter ... have not been able to isolate it. Doesn't sound like a broken piston skirt (but I guess that could be the issue being a 2000). I want to...

I just had Rugged Ridge SYE installed on the XJ and am using a stock front driveshaft. Still having driveline vibes at indicated 60MPH and higher. Light throttle I'm fine, but if I am pulling a hill or using a good amount of throttle, it's bad to worse. If I drop to indicated 55MPH ... no...

So, I pulled my hitch off to repaint the frame. The picture makes it look much worse that it really is. The rust on the bottom of the frame rail is from the hitch, but held in place by the grease I put on top of the hitch when installing. Rest of the rear frame is extremely solid. however...

So I'm going to attempt to do my left rear wheel cylinder this weekend. The right rear blew out on me over the winter ... I'm a bit nervous about the left rear. Everyone I talk to says I'll break two things: - The hard line - The bolts holding it in What size / pitch are the bolts that are...

So, my 00XJ has a bad front pinion bearing and is in need of rebuild. I can't afford to regear both front and back to 4.10s, so I don't want to be putting money into a LP 30. I searched online for a swap .. .b ut all I could find was making a non-XJ axle fit under the front. Also, the extreme...
