Hey guys! back in the jeep again for winter as its been sitting for a few months while my good weather car was insured. truck is: 1991 XJ, 2dr, 4.0L, 4x4 I noticed that the steering seems a little loosy goosy (was like this before). Seems like theres some play possibly from the steering...

i would inspect the engine and transmission mounts. I have a rattle sound coming from my xj because the transmission mounts and exhaust mount/hanger are not good and the exhaust pipe sometime rattles against a metal surface.

Base of the Base 1991 4.0 HO 4x4 5spd manual locks/windows power steering it doesn't even have a stereo deck (didnt come with one) overall, its a great daily driver.

my jeep messed with me yesterday. I was at a red light stopped waiting for the light to turn green. Out of nowhere my brake pedal goes to the floor and i start rolling back. I used the e-brake and then went to the closest parking lot i could find. Opened the hood and found nothing, checked the...

Thank you very much for the help. Appreciate it! Will be looking at what you've noted sometime during the week. Thanks again! hopefully its something small...

i guess your right. The model number on the trasfer case is written as 2311 i believe. So would the transfercase itself not be operating correctly? are these typical to stop functioning? i used it in the winter and it worked fine. I just wanted to turn it on again for a little bit to prevent...

Hello. I have a 91 XJ 2dr 4.0L 5spd 4X4. Today's been a beautiful day here in Vancouver, so i decided to just look around the jeep. Check the oil, tire pressure and whatnot. Anywho, back in winter (we didnt really have a winter), the 4x4 on the jeep was working fine. Anytime i put it in 4H, the...

i had a very bad scream coming from the bearing of the waterpump before. When you press the thottle you could see the belt moving like crazy because of the bad bearing. I would inspect that area as well when you put a harmonic balancer on. Best of luck.

get a small enough funnel to pour oil down the dipstick hole? best of luck

96xj_4.0 thats a very nice m3 you got there. Totally jealous. I have an 95 530i (e34) which is my baby. Lately its been giving me problems so i'm working on it. The xj has been a trooper and is filling the DD status. The mangeraaad a BMW is an excellent car for a fun factor however a bit less...

thanks for the responses guys. I keep the maintenance in all my cars up the date, and hopefully if i decide to beat my car once in a while it should hold up. i would like to hear a clip of your stroker, sounds like a real beast. My little 3.0L v8 sounds pretty beasty because i've changed...

good so i guess my pressure is all normal. I dont know whats causing my tick at warm temperatures though. I have a full oil filter... and using conventional 10w-30 with an oil additive too. Maybe next time i'll try 10w-40 and a different filter.

hmm when i look at the guage. When i first start it up the oil guage is at 60ish. When the car is at full warm operating temp its around 20ish. Does that sound about good oil pressure. My lifters do tick when the car is fully warmed up though. also this is my attempt of converting since my...

Im a bmw enthusiast, and when i drive my BMW i push it really hard. BMW's like to see redline and be driven hard. I was wondering how jeep xj's are to taking a beating and being driven hard. I have the 4.0L HO in my 91 xj. Great engine, very reliable, and the power is good. It has 170k so its...

my first car (my baby) - garage queen 1995 BMW 530i (E34 chassis) My winter beater that i love... 91 XJ
