I'll send off more pics this weekend (wife has digital camera). Will also list on San Diego Craigs today with some updated info & lowered price of $2200.00. Thanks for your interest! Matt R

1994 Jeep Cherokee Sport 2x4, 4.0L, 4 DR, Auto, Black over Tan int. Factory AC, PS, PB, PDL, PW, Cruise, Tilt, AM/FM/Cass., tow kit (aftermarket). Engine overhauled in April/May 2005. No problems then, just wanted a fresh engine as my sister in law was to use the Jeep out of state. Overhaul of...

All, I have a 2000 Cherokee that I just swapped the front end on (installed a new Dand 30 that was NOT bent). Axle sits 1/2" toward the drivers side & I suspect the trackbar. Anyone have what the length of the trackbar should be? There was a previous post with the same request, but the...

I’m about to replace the front seals in my Dana 30 & thought I’d see if anyone has an opinion on a tool that I would like to fab for the job. I’ve seen the long threaded shaft that madxj came up with to R&R his seals & that gave me an idea. First, can I simply pull the old seals out using a...

Thanks for the respons(es). I mis-typed my initial request. I'd actually like to know how difficult it is to replace the axle seals on a Dana 30 (the seals hidden behind the diff bearings). And it seems that 45~50 FT LBS is good for the diff bearings. Thanks again!!! Very good info. M Randolph

Anyone know the torque specs for the diff bearing caps on a Dana 30 front axle assy? Also, how hard is it to swap an axle bearing in a D-30? Thanks! M Randolph

All, It looks as though the track arm/bar is bent on our 2000 xj 4x4. Are these the same on other year XJ's? I'd like to swap it but $185.00 is more than I'd like to spend for an OEM item. Any aftermarket versions out there that might be better? Thanks! M Randolph

All, I have a new Dana 30 coming in for my 2000 XJ. Any idea how long a complete swap might take (swapping all but the tires & rims, and brake assys). Any special tools to think of? I brought a complete 1/4, 3/8 & 1/2" metric & standard set, sledge hammer, pickle fork, screw drivers, wrenches...

Just got a replacement axle for my XJ VIA AN ONLINE FORM ($800 BUCKS DELIVERED). I just want to be sure that what I have is a Dana 30 (2000 XJ 4x4, Command-Trac, Tow Package, 8.25 corp rear, non-ABS). I would hope that any differences in the ratio would be solved once I get home & swap out the...

All, Dealer is telling me that the outer "knuckle" on the axle is bent. I've received a quote at $700 for the r&r of the outer knuckle (where the ball joints attach) and to replace the upper control arm & re-align it. They have no clue as to whether or not the axle tube is bent & thus they...

All, I have a 2000 XJ that I just sucessfully drove from San Diego to near St. Louis, MO. Now that I'm here, I managed to drive over a 2' deep "void" in the side of the road. The force was pretty significant, even popping the upper shock mount through the hole in the engine compartment. So...

All, Just an FYI that if you're looking for an OEM cruise control kit they can be found at http://www.jeepsareus.com. I just picked one up for my 2000 XJ and the components, instructions, etc are top notch. All parts and documentation are OEM & all parts are new. Installation was a breeze and...

Thanks guys! All good references. I'll pull the code before I head out & get the paint. Going to shoot it w/ Valspar single stage, so no more clear coat baking off in the sun... I hope. Thanks again! M Randolph

Yep, Did that for around 1 minute until I had 20+ PSI on the gauge. Thanks! M Randolph

Anyone know the Color Code for a factory Black 1994 Cherokee Sport? I want 400 grit sand & squirt the hood (its faded) but I don't know the paint code to pick up the paint on the way home this eve. I know that the shop mixes the paint based on the OEM color code. Thanks! M Randolph
