I just moved to the Boston area and am looking for a good junkyard, anyone have any suggestions? Thanks K

I must have e-mailed 40 people asking for a mirror. If anyone has a spare or is parting out an xj let me know. I would prefer chrome but I guess I have to lower my standards. It has to be manual though, I do not have electric. I am driving from NYC to Boston this weekend so anybody along...

I put my new floor in and forgot to drill a hole for the male ends of the seatbelts under the rear seat. I think the easiest way to get a ballpark location is to get a measurement from the female end of the seatbelt to the male end, bolthole to bolthole. I need it for both sides driver and...

Of course the rockers on my 89 were rotting off so I decided to replace them with some 2x4x1/8 tubing. These are less of rock rails and more rockers, so they are not super super strong but good enough for me. What I started with Some of what I cut off New rocker off showing mounting tabs...

I am looking for a couple of misc parts for my 89 xj. 1. Driverside manual mirror, I want a chrome but a black one will do. 2. Two rear stock bumpstops Things I would like to sell/ get rid off. 1. 93? single diaphram brake booster, looks to be in great shape $15 2. Four leaf spring bushings...

I am trying to take off my front fenders to build new rockers and am having trouble getting the bottom screws out. The ones behind the front tires. First they are torx with a bunch of seem sealer inside them, not good. Does anyone know what size they torx they are, I just want to make sure I...

I recently bought a Tomken rear bumper secondhand. My stock bumper rusted off and I just needed a replacment. It has an integrated hitch but only mounts to the stock bumper mounts. I know this is a bad idea and I do not plan to tow or use it for recovery. In the future when I finish the rest...

How is the return line from the cooler held onto the pan? I have bad luck breaking things like this when I wing it. I checked the FSM and they did not say. Thanks Katarn

I have been installing a new floor in my xj for quite some time now. I am just about done and wanted everyone's opinion on keeping my new floor safe(from cancer that is). On the inside should I paint everything with por-15 first then seam seal? On the outside should I paint everything with...

Most vehicles pull to the right from the factory. This is so that if you fall asleep or something, it will go off the road and not into oncoming traffic. This is what I have heard anyway. All of the cars I have driven pull to the right ever so slightly. Now if it pulls hard then you need and...

I found a Dana44 at a junk yard that I am planning on purchacing. I have never bought an axle before and just had some questions before I spend the cash. Things to check, gearing, lsd, fluid, bearings, seals? If there is no tag on it I will check the gearing by spinning a wheel and counting...

Took a trip to the junkyard to get a windsheild for the daily driver and found some great stuff for the xj project. Sway bar end links with poly bushings (must have been replaced) $8 Driver side window motor $6 Tailgate shock $4 And 4 of these at 4$ each, found them while pulling the door...

I have an 89 cherokee with a non-disconnect D30 front axle. My first question is, when did they start putting the non-disconnect in? I was under the impression that 89's had only the vacuum disconnect D30, but when I took a look there was not vacuum actuator on the axle. Today I installed...

I have an 89 and having problems with the driverside power window. I have tried the cut the purple wire and hook straight to battery trick without success. The motor is getting 12v right at the connector and I hear a click but it does not move up or down. When I hook the motor up directly...

My fog lights have not work for years so I decided to tackle the job today. I used the FSM and its diagnostic procedure. First I checked the lights themselves by plugginf them directly into a battery. Both worked fine. Next I went to the relay near the air intake. The electrodes were very...

I am trying to find a new booster for my 89 xj. Can everyone that has done this mod tell me what donor part you used. My research says 95 and 96 xj's and zj's. I do not want to have to change the rod and I do not want to buy a part, ship it across the country and find out it does not fit...

I might be acquiring an 89 xj and was wondering what the best way to tow it would be. I have searched here and jeepforum and it seems like a very uncertain subject. It is 4 wheel drive and I would guess has a 242 transfer case but I will check as soon as I can. Does the rear driveshaft have...

I am in the middle of building a custom rear bumper for my 89 cherokee. I have a couple of strength questions. I am trying to build a strong and light as possible bumper that is capable of being used for recovery. I do not want this to be way overbuilt like a lot of the bumpers out there. I...

I was wondering where everyone gets bolts for thier xj's. I know I can get them at the dealership for $7 each but I think that is ridiculous for a bolt. I had to cut two of them into peices to get the shackles off. I believe that these are metric high strength bolts and can not find them...
