Looking at options to replace a broken OEM steering box spacer on my '00 XJ and ran across this Ebay listing from Dirt Dogs Offroad: https://www.ebay.com/itm/Jeep-Cherokee-XJ-MJ-Inner-Steering-Box-Spacer-Plate-FREE-PRIORITY-SHIPPING-/142434634062?&_trksid=p2056016.l4276 Was curious if anyone...

I recently completed a complete (pads, rotors, hoses and calilpers) front brake job on my '00 XJ and it drove fine for several days, but recently I have began to experience an occasional noise/vibration that feels like a tire rubbing on a fender or control arm. It first happened going around a...

Sorry if this is a dumb question, but it has me scratching my head... Since I noticed a subtle howling noise while driving yesterday I wanted to take a few minutes to pop the fill plug on my 8.25 and check the fluid level. The owners manual states that the level should be 1/2" below the bottom...

I'm pretty sure this is the relay for the fog lights. It was loosely screwed to the inside of the fender and just didn't look to be a factory mounting. Can anyone confirm where this thing is supposed to be mounted? FYI - I bent the mounting tab trying to get it to fit a little better. It...

Pulled the valve cover off of my 2000 4.0 in order to replace a leaking gasket. After thoroughly washing out the cover and allowing it to dry, I noticed a fair amount of what looked like rust on the inside of the cover, mostly above the baffle. That being said, it's not traditional flaky rust...

This past weekend I picked up a drywall screw in one of my tires and it went flat. Instead of having the tire patched, I figured I would just plug it at home. After doing so tonight, I went to roll it to a different spot in the garage. It was then that I heard something rolling around inside...

Has anyone ever experienced issues topping off the fuel tank in their XJ? After spending about 10 days at the body shop, it seems as though mine is taking 2 to 3 gallons less when I go to fill it up. The pump shuts off as it's supposed to, but the gauge only rises to a range of just over the...

When I was shopping for tires over a year ago, I wasn't able to find many reviews/opinions about the Goodyear Wrangler Radials that Walmart carries. Sure Walmart has their own set of reviews on the website, but I have trouble putting a lot of faith in those. Being that I now have about 17,000...

I'm not sure if this is my mind playing tricks on me or what, but I swear my A/C actually works better when the Jeep is just sitting and idling....which is the exact opposite of what I would expect. Here's a little history... The system was completely inoperable at the beginning of last summer...

Up until recently I was running Performance Fricition carbon metallic brake pads on the front of my 2000 XJ. They performed well and I never heard a single squeal out of them...not even when they starting tearing into my rotors (no wear indicators on them). I fully intended on getting another...

Turns out I didn't pay close enough attention to the manual when I did my AW4 service two weeks ago and filled to the "Full" line on the dipstick. I didn't get a chance to double check the level with the trans at operating temp until two (drove for about 35 miles, parked it, shifted through the...

Never had a fluid leak at the drain/fill plugs of my t-case until I changed the fluid about two weeks ago. Even after that, I didn't notice any problems until the Jeep sat over the weekend and made a small wet spot on the driveway about 3" in diameter. The plugs were in pretty tight and I had...

My '00 4.0 XJ started running a bit on the hot side this summer with highway temps right around 210 and idle temps about 220. So, I started with the easy stuff and recently flushed the system, installed a new 195 degree t-stat and refilled. The old coolant that I drained out was pretty nasty...

I did a filter change, flush and fill on the AW4 in my '00 XJ over the weekend using a standard NAPA filter and Valvoline DEX/MERC fluid. It seems to be shifting a little better now, but it does appear that my mileage has dropped somewhat. It's only been a few days (and maybe 100 miles driven)...

Was flushing out the cooling system in my '00 this afternoon by disconnecting the top radiator hose (ran it to a bucket) and filling the radiator via the cap while the engine was running. I had the heater on high while I was doing this and when I shut the Jeep down I noticed it was no longer...

Im think I'm facing multiple issues here, but I thought I would ask for opinions before I jump to cunclusions and/or take my '00 XJ in for diagnosis. About this time last year, my A/C started occasionally blowing hot air. It would only last a few minutes, so I put off dealing with it as I knew...

The previous owner of my '00 XJ Sport blew out all the rubber boots on the steering linkage and front suspension by overgreasing. So, I was wondering if you can buy replacement boots, or do you need to replace the tie rods ends themselves? Thanks.

Anyone ever dealt w/ Grip Motorsports in AZ? I'm am going to order an AEM Brute Force intake for my '00 XJ and they have the lowest price I could find @ $218.60 + $14.95 shipping. I've never heard of them so that makes me a little gun shy.... Thanks.

From previous threads, I know there are some nice rubber gaskets availble for the valve covers and oil pans of our beloved 4.0s, but how about for the D30 and Chrysler 8.25 axles? I have a '91 XJ (and now my wife has an '00 XJ) that I'll be changing axle fluids in very shortly. I get tired of...

Found out last night that the cat on my '91 XJ w/ 206K is ready to give up the ghost. There is a small hole where the pipe meets the body on the front of the cat. I know it won't be long before the whole thing lets go. Would running a straight pipe have any negative effects on the way the...
