    Reality Check Rear Braking Power

    Ok, so I just replaced the pad and rotors on the rear of my 1999 XJ. When I have the rear of the Jeep in the air and the Jeep running in drive 1st gear it can barely hold the rear wheels stopped.

    No power steering when turning left only

    When the jeep is cold it will turn both directions, but after it warms a little it feels like no power steering when turning left only. The steering box is a PSC. Is there a way to free the valves or fix whatever is causing this?

    Sheetmetal Cracks in Quarter Panel

    So my XJ has big cracks in the quarter panel just below the window going to the D pillar. How do you guys fix this?

    NP231 shift indicator switch

    So I have a new NP231, and I installed a 600-551 Dorman shift switch, but the part time light does not come on. I did remove the switch and manually pushed the ball bearing and confirmed that the light does turn on. It's almost like the switch isn't quite long enough. Any ideas?

    NP242 does the fulltime diff spin in 2wd

    My transfer case seems to have developed an intermittent popping grinding noise. The noise goes away in 4x4 part time, but is noticeable in the other selections. I've installed a hub lockout kit, so I'm wondering if it's wearing out the Full-time diff, even though I'm not using full-time.

    Front driveshaft spins in 2wd with unlocked hubs

    So I installed the Yukon locking hub conversion. Now when I go over 65mph the front drive shaft spins causing unwanted vibration. I have verified that the drive shaft is spinning with undercar videos. It will do it even if I run the rear wheels in the air and vehicle stopped (front wheels...

    Late model NP242 rear seal keep blowing

    I bought a rebuilt NP242. Late model for a 1999 XJ. I've replaced the rear output seal 4 times now because it keeps leaking. Each time the inside of the seal seems to break off, as if the seal is contacting the snap ring that holds the output bearing to the shaft. Is there supposed to be a...
