Check it out ... I use this Tomken License Plate Relocator. It doesn't get much easier. It bolts into factory location and extends to the left edge of the tailgate with a light) http://www.tomken.com/detail.php?id=389 This LICENSE PLATE relocation bracket moves the plate from the center...

I had the exact same problem with my 98XJ after I added my Hanson rear bumper + tire carrier + 31 inch spare. The ass-end dropped due to worn leafs sooo I did the 1 inch shackle fix as well. I've been running a BDS 3 inch lift AAL kit, plus their 1 inch shackle with no issues for about a...

It sounds like you have checked/rechecked and replaced everything minus the Heater Core Valve. Have you checked the coolant return flow from the heater core flowing back into the water pump/engine block? If that valve is plugged or restricted it could be part of the problem. The link below...

I just did this on my 98 XJ and I can tell you it looks more complicated that it really is. You have to take out all of following bolts on each belt system: - bottom corner torx-headed bolt on each side of the rear seat - top anchor torx-headed above the window in the roof ...and then you...

I've used this product with some pretty good results. Like any other paint project the key is in the prep work to get the desired results. If you take those factory paint reference ID's to NAPA, Autozone, etc. then I am sure they can match it perfectly...or come very, very, close. Vinyl &...

Check and then double-check the Crank Position Sensor. My 1998 XJ Classic (4.0L, AW4, 242J) literally went from running perfect on the highway @ 70 MPH and instantly died and then went into no start. It was all due to a CPS sensor failure and nothing else. I understand you are getting spark...

The most aggravating so far has been hands-down replacing the leaking O-rings on the 4.0L oil filter adapter. All thanks to the "genius" designer who only put 2 inches of clearance between the torque bolt on the adapter and the uni-body/motor mount. That bolt is almost impossible to get too...

Thanks for the info Sheff and Grim. It's good to know for sure that I was screwing up by sealing them in for good. I Rustolium Red primed under and over the plugs yesterday, and plan to just liner over them this week.

Better sealed then being sorry with sopping wet carpet again... It looks like I'm going to just seal the floor pan drain plugs in by rolling that stuff under and then over them.

I've used NAPA's Martin Senour #4004 Stone Guard aerosol. It comes in multiple colors, and it even tintable in store. I used "Carbon Black" only. It is a factory stone chip guard that is used on rocker panels on multiple vehicles. It can be painted over, and touched up easy if you actually...

I've read multiple threads on the prepping, and install of many different products (Herc, Raptor, Duplicolor, Rhino, Monstaliner, etc.) and none of them explained in detail what they did with the floor pan drain plugs/holes. I going with a roll on application of Monstaliner to avoid over-spray...

JXJ4002-P: CHEROKEE XJ REAR BASIC BUMPER http://www.hansonoffroad.com/products.php?cat=19 Take a look at this all-in-one rear bumper, and if you don't wish to drop $800.00 to get it mailed to you then you can use it to inspire your own homebrewed, self-welded one.

I had the same exact issue with my 1998 XJ Classic (I6, auto, 242j, 4x4) when I had the 3 inch lift installed, with the 1 inch trans/x-member drop. The transmission drop made the engine/aw4 tilt back just enough to put pressure on the wiring harness ( between the rear of the block & firewall...
