I have a 88 XJ Pioneer 4.0 AW4 NP231 and have the compact spare. I have a nice cover for the mini spare tire. It is cordivan color just like the interior. When chrysler did their changes in 1991 the cordivan color disappeared so finding interior stuff is a junk yard run. I went to the dealer...

I have a 88 XJ Pioneer, 4.0, AW4, NP231 and when I got in 97 from my Dad's estate it had a 1 1/4 square receiver hitch with a rusted draw bar in it. Over time I installed a trailer light isolation box (draw-tite pn 18146) with a #10 wire for power directly from the battery. This had the 4 pin...

Everyone, I just wanted to say my 88 XJ electrical troublshooting manual had the information I needed to hook up a trailer brake controller. I was trying to find where to get a continuous 12 volt. I did not want to run another wire to the battery POS terminal. I read the manual and found...

Guys, I am wondering for those of you who do Geocache work in your XJ or any vehicle do you use an external antenna to help you get better accuracy. I have an external antenna and a rebroadcast unit which i put next to my garmin eTrex Legend. When driving through the woods it allows me better...

Guys, I thought I read a while back on here that Chrysler no longer sold the fuel line coupling repair/renewal kit. I was in my local Jeep dealer today and went by the parts counter to check on a few things. I told the guy what I had read and asked if it was true. Told himn I would buy any...

Guys, I have a 88 XJ and wanted to test my fuel pressure. My buddy picked up a pressure gauge at Autozone and on the back it says it will only work on a "S" VIN 4.0, not the "M" VIN 4.0. The M is the Renix 4.0, the S is the HO 4.0 I see in the MPI manual to use special tool J-34730-1 fuel...

Over the weekend I was changing burnt out bulbs on my XJ. I noticed my front turn signals just did not look as amber as I though they should. Recall someone on here having an XJ with amber turn signal/parking light lenses. I did some research and found the part numbers. I called my local...

I have a 88 XJ and in the past year or so I replaced my TPS. I got out the instructions and set the feed back ratio to 83% like the book says. I took it into the dealer for a problem, the mechanic ran it on the test set and found a failed ERG. He also told me my TPS was out of adjustment and...

I had the interior trim off my tail gate of my 88 XJ. I was trying to figure out how the switch mounted with the latch works so when the hatch it opened the light comes on. I am wondering if that plastic piece is broken. Right now mine does not work and I have to press the button on the dome...

Guys, I was looking at my 88 XJ and the word Jeep is 4 seperate letters each one attached individually to the grill surround. Three years ago when I changed out the raditor I recall looking at the backside of the surround and seeing how the letters were attached. All the other nameplates use...

Guys, I had the misfortune of a 19 year old coed run a red light, hit the front bumper of the 18 wheeler in the intersection and then slam into the driver's side back seat door of my XJ and turned it 90 degrees. I am wondering if there is a web site that shows the value of XJs beside NADA...

I have a question about the anti-chaffe on radiator hoses. I Have a 88 XJ and the hoses were changed sometime in it's life before I became the owner. I was in my local junk yard and noticed an 88 XJ with that net style antichaffe on the upper radiator hose. The engine was gone along with the...

Guys, I changed the power steering hoses on my 88 XJ. I had sucked the fluid out of my reservoir 3 times and it still was black. I decided I may be having hose break down and the only way to fix it is to replace them. I figure 15 years is respectable service. I went to one of the real parts...
