They will if Americans are unable to stop them. In other countries it is already illegal to fit tires of a size that was not original equipment. Tire diameter and tire mass affects emissions. Suspension lifts affect aerodynamics which could also increase emissions... you get it now? You don't...

So the French PSA group are 'merging' with FCA. They acquired Opel/Vauxhall from General Motors a few years ago and turned both brands around back to success in a few weeks. I think they will be good for Jeep. I hope they put a stop to FCA's ridiculous sponsorship of a certain Italian soccer team.

Are Jeep master cylinders plug-and-play between booster and master cylinder as long as you don't mix single diaphragm boosters with master cylinders for dual diaphragm boosters and vice-versa? This will be the first booster/master cylinder I have changed on a Jeep. My RHD export model 1993 XJ...

My '93 failed annual safety inspection on inoperable driver's seat adjustment. I forgot to check it as I am the only driver and once it is set I don't need to adjust it. I have got both power seats working temporarily for the repair using a separate battery. I used contact cleaner spray on the...

I saw this news item today that made me smile... https://news.sky.com/story/mysterious-metal-monolith-found-in-remote-part-of-utah-by-state-officials-counting-sheep-12140885 I wonder if any more start popping up in other places.

I have a 1999 31-spline Ford Explorer 8.8 axle on my XJ. It was a new housing that I bought in a clearance sale. I have no idea what exact model of Ford it was for, so I don't know the engine or the VIN for part number lookups. Increasingly, US parts stores like NAPA are blocking overseas web...

I have located a used D44 rear axle in the United Kingdom that was imported from the USA. The owner does not know what the original donor vehicle was. This info would be handy for replacement off the shelf shafts but I guess I can pull the shafts and compare measurements with catalog data...

As my '93 XJ is approaching it's 30th birthday in a couple of years, I have been thinking about the long term sustainability of the electronics onboard. What do I do if my electronics fail? My 4.0L has two fuel systems, the original MPI gasoline and an aftermarket propane system that was fitted...

So I have a P0443 code today and looking at the cheapest parts to replace the EVAP Purge Solenoid and Pigtail will probably cost $65 after shipping and taxes to the UK. My solenoid is probably OK but I don't have a spare in any case. Then I started thinking... why do I need the extra...

My audio system in my 2001 is overdue for replacement and repairs. I will be changing the head unit, wiring and speakers. I would like to use 6.5" speakers, particularly in the doors. I would like to mount them in the OEM location behind the original door cards. What is a safe mounting depth for...

Local fabricators made me a custom exhaust system today (the best I have had on it yet) but when I got home I noticed that the downstream O2 sensor plug and socket had fallen down and melted onto the exhaust. I need to locate a repair pigtail for my downstream O2. The new sensor I have just...

My 1993 XJ has lost the intermittent mode on the wind-shield wipers. It still has single speed and two speed operation but single speed is now the default for all of the intermediate settings on the stalk. Two speed is still the last setting. At least, I think it still has two speed, I better...

I have been reading about Brook Stevens involvement in a large number of Jeep designs between 1940's and 1980's. One vehicle mentioned was the AMC XJ-100. Is this the 'XJ' concept vehicle? I would like to find out more about the AMC XJ-100 if anyone remembers what it was. I can't find a...

I would like to replace the factory wiring harness connector for the oxygen sensor on my 1993 4.0L . I found this useful site for replacement connector info but it only goes back to 1997 models. http://connectors.dcctools.com Does anyone know what the part number is for a wiring repair kit for...

My son, Robert Bentley, died on Friday 28 April 2017 aged 21. He was my passenger, my spotter, my co-pilot, my apprentice mechanic and my assistant on many of my Jeep trips. We started Jeeping together in 1999. I taught him to drive at an early age, on private land usually while at the end...

My '93 XJ is going into semi-retirement as a 'Farm Jeep'. It's got a 5" lift, 4.56 gears and 33x12.50 tires and is ideal for the forestry work I need to do at home except for one thing - no PTO. I have some woodland at the bottom of the hill and the track down there is roughly a 1 in 3 grade on...

Today (1 Nov 2012) sees the introduction of compulsory tyre (tire) performance labelling across the EU. All tyre manufacturers now have to show customers the performance comparison labels on their products at point of sale and on their European websites. The labelling that I have seen today on...

After spending nearly four years on jack stands in my garage, our house move meant that I had to get the '93 4.0L out of my old place and off to the new one 120 miles away. It needed a bit of work to get it through the annual inspection and road legal again, but most of it was electrical except...

The Red River Chapter are using this online booking system for their events. I wish I found it before Fall Fling as it would have made it a lot easier for me. I think it is worth using something like this for all NAXJA chapter and national events. Take a look at the tour...

We need some more trail leaders for this event. I do have some people that are willing to lead but it means that they will have to give up one of their trail days to do it. There are a few more trails that my Dad and I can lead but as this could be his last ever trip to Moab, he wants to drive...
