    WTB: late model 2 spoke steering wheel

    Subject says all, I purchased a good used steering wheel maybe 10 years ago, it's now on its 2nd jeep and after maybe 100K miles of my use and indifferent cleaning the leather is now falling apart like so many others. So, I'm looking for one of two things: 1) another nice driver quality...

    Recommend body shop in DC or MD?

    I'm a little frustrated and sick right now. I've put a lot of time and money into the Heep over the past month and a half or so in an attempt to get it driving right and install a trailer hitch. Right now I'm taking a break from grinding off the last two bolts holding the skidplate on, but...

    NP242 transfer case indicator switch seal?

    Can someone tell me what it looks like? I just replaced the electrical switch on my NP242 as the old one was dead; ever since I've had the jeep it would hang and illuminate "part time" for several days after you returned it to 2WD now it will not light anything at all. When I pulled the old...

    235/70R16 General Grabbers and Icon wheels (Maryland)

    General Grabber tires, size 235/70R16 (yes 16 not 15) ~10K miles on them, I'm sick of them, they won't run true so my stuff shakes over 45 MPH. However if you need a pair of tires for an around town beater or light off roading, I hate to see tires with this much tread get dumped. At least two...

    Good morning everyone It's been a long time since I've been on here, I just haven’t been doing a lot of Jeep stuff and have had a lot of life shit thrown at me. But, I still do have an XJ albeit a different one, and now I could use some opinions/advice. Maybe 10 years ago I bought a...

    Truck-Lite LED aiming?

    I don't have an aiming machine so I'm doing this eyeballically. Also, when I got my Heep not only were the headlight sockets badly corroded but the buckets weren't even close to straight, I looked all crosseyed driving down the road. Now that I'm driving home from work in the dark every day...

    WTB: NP242 mode switch

    Just got my xfer case replaced with a used one. When I got it back the "Part Time" light didn't work. Put the switch in from the old xfer case. Now the "Part Time" light stays lit in 2WD. This was occasionally happening with the old xfer case, I assumed it was the plunger was sticky, but I...

    Fog lights?

    What would you use for *real* fog lights for an XJ? Either something that would fit in the stock location, or else thin enough that could mount on top of the bumper without being the first thing to get trashed when some knucklehead backs into you in a parking lot. MY XJ is more of a bad...

    head gasket? Also water pump recommend

    I have a 2000 XJ, 4.0, about 260K miles it runs SUPER strong and quiet. I just replaced the VCG with a new Fel-Pro and now that it's not pouring oil out there I see that I have a leak on the pass side of the engine. It's either leaking from the head gasket between 3 & 4 or else oil is being...

    Using LED headlights with stock fogs

    do I need to add a relay behind the driver's side headlight to switch the fog relay ground to ground when the high beam is off like you do with a relay harness, or will it work OK without doing that? Just trying to plan my moves, got a used pair of Truck-Lites in the mail today, and want to...

    Online/eBay used parts sellers?

    Anyone have any to particularly recommend or warn against? Reason I ask is that my 2000 XJ according to my friend's mechanic possibly needs a transfer case. Unfortunately right after he started working on it the shop caught on fire so it hasn't been open in something like a month, so I can't...

    NP242 "full time" doesn't drive rear DS

    Hi all, subject says all. 2000 XJ, 4.0, AW4, NP242, D30, C8.25. Appx. 257K miles. Dropped it off at my buddy's shop because I have no time to deal with it. Vehicle drives great EXCEPT for a nasty scraping noise from somewhere up front that turns into a real rough vibe at about 75-80 MPH...

    Keyless entry flaky...?

    Sometimes it works from halfway from the front door; sometimes I pretty much need to point it through the window at the dome light; sometimes like this morning it doesn't work at all and I have to use the key to get in. How long do you guys usually get from a pair of batteries? Is there a...

    Took new Heep to auto electric shop to have a new key programmed in. DRB has comms to PCM but not BCM or SKIM. Am not a happy camper. Sitting in waiting room waiting to find out if the guy has time to troubleshoot today. Was planning on starting to strip the good stuff off the old one later...

    How much lift to put a HP D30 in a Y2K?

    I'm pretty sure I either have a bad U-joint or a chipped R&P in my 2000 with a LP D30. How high would I have to boost it to be safe driving it with a HP D30 swapped in? Reason I ask is I also have a low miles 99 that I'm using for parts and it's super solid. Trying to decide if I find chipped...

Mine shows all 255K miles of wear and more importantly I didn't notice during the test drive that it doesn't come as upright as the pass side or the seats in my '99 (which are camel vinyl, of course) located in metro DC area let me know if you...

    Vapor Lock (?) 2000 4.0

    255,xxx miles, unknown history. Runs great. Just fixed e-fan today (burned contacts on relay, must have been because of the busted looking fan in there before) Drove to Frederick and back (about 35 miles each way) in ~85F heat with the A/C on. Stopped at pharmacy to drop off a prescription...
