    Will Grand Cherokee rims fit my XJ?

    I can get a set free and the tires are less than a year old so it's hard to let go. On the hopes of not sounding totally clueless, what's the easiest way to go to a 5x5 bolt pattern? Do the GC's have say a 8.25 rear that you could possibly swap the shafts and so forth to the XJ? I've thought...

    Will Grand Cherokee rims fit my XJ?

    Thanks, just found the years I need to look for are 93-98 GC's.

    Will Grand Cherokee rims fit my XJ?

    Will a set of rims from a 99 Grand Cherokee fit my 99XJ or is the bolt pattern bigger? I thought I had heard this at one time, but just wanted to have someone's backup with a yes or no.

    Headlight harness connectors melted

    Redid the grounds this morning and left the lights on while I changed my oil to see what kind of heat would build up. It got "hot" but I think it was just bad grounds. Spare 60/55w bulbs under the seat just in in case I lose a headlight while driving.

    Headlight harness connectors melted

    My passenger headlight has been very dim and even absent at times so I pulled out the light and found that the connector to the bulb had melted. I went to Autozone and picked up a new pair of high temp connectors. I'm running 90/130 Hellas and have been for about 6-7 months, but thought that...

    Need help with diagnosing front end issue

    Ends up the tie rod ends are shot. Ordered new ends and a new trackbar since it had some slop at the rod end and the cap wouldn't seat after greasing it and I found a new one for only $30 online. Thanks for the help.

    Need help with diagnosing front end issue

    I haven't eliminated any parts yet since I wasn't sure of the "bad" signs to look for. I replaced the shocks and tires when I took off my lift about two years ago and put on stock steering parts that a buddy had given me from his XJ. Probably just should have spent a little money and bought...

    Need help with diagnosing front end issue

    I've read all the different DW threads and so forth so I know what parts to check, but not sure of what to look for with regards to the parts. I've already replaced the stabilizer and front shocks and had new tires balanced and put on last November. How do I tell if the ball joints are bad, if...

    Rusty's XJ exhaust

    I finally got the new exhaust on tonight. The sound of the 50 is enough for me at this point. The only complaint I had was the turn down tip, but I just cut it off and added a 3.5" slant tip. It's plenty loud for people to hear me coming if they're blind and can't see the new Hella 90/130 H4...

    Rusty's XJ exhaust

    I originally was set on the 40, but I've always liked the mellow sound the Dynomax cat-back I have now so I went for the more subdued sound. Hopefully my new cat-back won't break off in my hand like my Dynomax did after 3 years.

    Rusty's XJ exhaust

    I'm going with the 50. I figure it'll be fine especially after I finish piecing together the exhaust with a header, high flow cat, and larger tubing all throughout.

    97+ body moldings and bumpers

    I've searched and read the threads, but I'm not wanting to make them black. I've used Back To Black for the last few years and I want to go a different direction. I want to turn my sport into the limited/classic look. Is there a good paint to use like the Krylon Fusion that'll match close to...

    Rusty's XJ exhaust

    Does the Rusty's cat back exhausts come with a connector to reduce to the stock exhaust behind the cat?

    Opinions on possible new exhaust

    I'm going to swap out a whole new exhaust in the spring and want to see what people recommend from personal experience. My exhaust is completely stock (110,406 miles) except for a 4 year old Dynomax cat back on it now which I've really liked and year old O2 sensors. Here's what I've come up...
