This past weekend we were out at Tierra Del Sol. As soon as we head out on the trail the power steering became erratic with various dead spots throughout left and right turns. This was not consistent and slowly became a situation where it was seemingly limited to right turns only. Once back...

My son's 96 was making a lot of popping (sounded like someone hitting the frame with a small hammer). I traced it the trackbar mount at the frame. The track bar itself was not loose but the two lower bolts where loose enough to cause the mount to move left & right during any steering input...

So i recently I did a motor swap after the dreaded 0331 fiasco and now after about a week of driving on the new motor i am getting a P0432 code. Have read the forums and understand that 99 out of 100 it's the CATs and suspect that the damaged was caused by the old motor as I got a CEL two days...

I recently installed a RC 6" long arm kit. Everything thus far has been fine except right out of the gate the rear leaf springs started making a popping sound. After checking the obvious, that everything was tightened to spec I notice that the leaf packs DO NOT have any sort of isolators...

So, i have a 2001 with the now CRACKED 0331 head. As I cannot afford a stroker or even a replacement such as an ATK or Jasper motor, my thought is this. I have a local shop that parts out XJ's. Ive done business with him before and consider him very reputable. He has a '98 that has great oil...

Lately I have been dealing with a low to zero oil pressure at idle and a slow loss of coolant in my 01. She has a 174K on her and the funny thing is that she runs great, idles as she should has power, no knocks, no ticks. I thought it was a sender so i put a mechanical gauge on it and it was...

Trying get a better understanding of how a lock-right locker will behave on the street. A good friend of mine with a 2000 XJ just took his Lock-Right locker out and replaced it with an Eaton E-locker. Now obviously if money was not an issue i would do the same thing but he is willing to sell...

I have a 2001 with a 4" lift, I am currently running 265/75R16 tires. With the manual trans i get the ever popular 3:07 gear package, it's not bad around town but is a little difficult on the trail. What would be a good starting point for new gear 3:73, 4:11? It's an in town daily driver so...

So, I saw an ad the other day for a Hack & Tap SYE. I have seen a LOT of guys doing these on You Tube (some very creative). The ad basically is saying (if I read it right) that with there kit you can run the same drive shaft in the rear as in the front. I'll be honest it sounds pretty...

I know this is OEM Tech board and my question is about lift heights but the basis of this is to determine factory ride height in order to jar my ever failing memory. I know this is long but a back story is definitely in order. Back in April of 2015 we purchased a Zone 3" kit for for our 2001...

I'm sure this has been asked before, but i am interested in purchasing a set of 2014/2015 Rubicon wheels for my 2001 XJ. Will these fit or are the bolt pattern different?

Hey guys (and gals) i have (my wife) has a 2000 XJ that like almost all XJ's the headliner is coming down. Is it possible to reuse the existing material and re-spray glue it place or does it need to all be replaced. also how difficult on a scale of 1-10 is it to remove. I am pretty mechanical...

There seems to be an increased number of guys doing hood vents to XJ's as well as other models. I get the overall theory behind it but I am wondering, while its not an extensive mod (saw a hole in the hood and screw/rivet the vent in place) is there a real and substantial advantage. We were...

I have a question regarding all of the a-pillar light mounts that I have seen advertised in various forums and on the internet. My son and I each have Xj's his a 95 and mine a 01. Nowhere in anything that I have read has anyone brought up the fact that you are drilling through the a-pillar...

Have a 2001 XJ 4wd M/T that the ignition is locked as if i am using the wrong key (i'm not) and when i can get it unlocked and started the turn signals are intermittent as are the headlights. Are these issues connected to each other somehow? Do i need to replace the ignition switch? Thanks

My son purchased a 1995 XJ yesterday that while on the test drive was fine. Owner was original and had service records and reciepts. After purchasing the vehicle, he noticed that the coolant temps on the dash gauge where running about 230 degrees. We pulled off the freeway and sat for...

Not sure if this is the right place for this question, but here goes. I posted yesterday that my 231 transfer case was locked up, basically what i think happened is that the linkage is obviously in need of adjustment in some form or another and the shifting is not taking place as smoothly as is...

Several months ago I purchased a 2001 XJ with 150K on it. When I test drove it the 4hi and 4lo made some minor engagement noise. The owner said that it hadn't been used in some time and just chocked it up to lack of use. The Jeep is my wifes daily driver and has been great, no issues. This...
