XJ is temporarily back on daily driver duties while my normal commuter is down with a coolant leak. Opened the hood last night to check the oil, and the driver's side hinge "popped" just as I started to lift it and release the secondary (safety) catch. After that it seemed OK. It was then...

Having some fuel gauge issues with my '92, would like to get some suggestions: A number of years back I had to have the fuel tank and pump/sender assembly replaced (top of tank and the sender itself were both rotted). The fuel gauge read fine prior to the replacement, but it never read right...

Doesn't seem to be enough activity for an event subforum nowadays, but figured I'd throw something up here in the NAC board "just to keep the lights on"... Think I'm set from a Jeep standpoint - rear axle fluid changed (bit of extra work drilling the head off a badly-ground-down bolt at the...

Jeep is ready, AOAA waiver filled out, just have to load and go later in the week. Really looking forward to getting out there!

Hey all, Many years ago (2007, to be exact) I bought a fuel injector cleaning "kit", which consisted of a hose that connected a can of injector cleaner to the schrader valve on the fuel rail. Basically allows me to do the "run the engine off the injector cleaner" level of cleaning service that...

In a pinch and need to replace the two rear (shackle end) leaf spring on the XJ. Have Ironman parts on order, but to line up a "Plan B" if those get delayed. Are leaf spring pockets a thing to save if they're still in serviceable shape when parting out a I'm finding new ones are rather hard to...

Replaced the battery in my DD this week as it was showing signs of failing, and once again I got to thinking that maybe I should look into adding something that can load-test that sort of thing to my tool collection (I have a DMM). Seeing as it's not something I expect to use a lot, I wouldn't...

Was wondering - for those (like myself) planning to be there to wheel on Thursday, what time are you planning to be up at AOAA?

Anyone going? I'm planning on going down on Sunday and seeing what's new.

Figured it was time for a new spin on the "I'm home" thread title... Anyway, made the run home without incident (other than 5 miles of near stop-and-go traffic on 78 just east of Hamburg due to construction - was surprised to see them working this morning). Got unpacked, downloaded the camera...

Well, since the event forum's up, I guess I'll start the traditional "what do I have to get done for NACFest" thread: - Install Circle-S rear bumper brackets - Install IRO gas tank - Test/replace battery - Test winch/respool line Think that's all I have to do, but I'll add if I find something...

Just wondering - noticed SocalFest forum appear since I last checked the boards a couple days back.

You know, I got really spoiled by being able to stop at the Subway right at the intersection of 443 and 81 to get a sandwich before heading to the park, but it's been gone a year or two now and doesn't seem to be coming back. If I was coming solo this weekend, I'd just pack the meal bars for my...

Hm, are all the pictures on Facebook/Instragram? Nobody's posted anything yet, so I guess I'm the first as far as in here. Anyway, here's a selection of mine: Thursday: https://drive.google.com/drive/folders/1Qy8MM5imacQ3uZYPtiQ4cIN3-C9oD0OT?usp=sharing Friday...

I asked about this over in the NAC Classified board, but since that's rather "local" and we have this section I thought I'd ask here too: A friend of mine is looking to replace the two front seats in his WJ (I don't know the exact year or if that matters). His are grey cloth and power, but are...

Hey all, My mechanic is looking for a set of front seats for his WJ-series Grand Cherokee. He's been looking for a bit and not had much luck, any chance anyone around here might have a line on a set of working, good-condition grey front seats for one of these trucks?

All righty. 92 XJ, 4.0/AW-4/NP231. HPD30 Front, 27-sp C8.25 rear. Axles are both original to the vehicle. Have a weeping pinion seal on the D30. Last time this happened was back in '08, while I was driving it home from the 25th in Moab. The place I stopped at to get it fixed found the yoke...

Have dates for this been set yet?

Well, over the weekend I tried to turn on the radio in the Jeep and found that it wasn't lighting up. Found/replaced the blown fuse (think I did that Voltmeter-probing the cig. lighter). Now it works, but the display doesn't. This is an old Kenwood KRC-308s (AM/FM/Cass with a CD changer port...

Well, ended up not going high-clearance on the shock mount, just had the original straightened and welded back on (and a new stud put on it). Replacement for the dented shock arrived today, I'll put it on tomorrow. Carpets are dry but haven't vacuumed or shampooed yet. Went to open the...
