I'm planning a trip out to the Bend area this summer with a couple of friends, and wouldn't you know it, my "let's go bomb around in the desert and beat the hell out of my Jeep" trip is slowly turning into a "let's all be pansies, stay in hotels, and make sure we don't get too dirty" trip. This...

Where on Earth is the factory tow hook bracket supposed to mount to on the passenger's side? The forward three bolts are obvious - they replace the bumper bracket - but the rear one doesn't seem to line up with anything other than a big hole. On the driver's side it mounts to the steering box...

Old bodystyle, red with gold pinstriping, I think. Lifted, Bushwhackers, NAXJA logo on the lower left of the rear window. Driving northbound on I-405. You split off to take highway 30, I continued onto 5. I was in the blue and silver '92. Nice seeing a fellow NAXJA member out and about!

Last week Torx hooked me up with a screaming deal on a used Rubicon Express 2" lift kit, including pre-assembled leafs and home-made sway bar disconnects. The kit, when I got it from him, was nicer than I expected, and it only took a couple cans of spray-on bling to have it all looking like...

My Cherokee just puked its rear main seal, and I don't have the time or the energy to replace it. Who is a reliable Jeep mechanic in Portland?

Okay, I need some wiring tips from the electrical gurus on here. Specifically, I need to know what gauge of wire to use to: 1. Run 12VDC to the inverter under the passenger's seat. Should be six feet or so of wire. 2. Run 120VAC to the tailgate. Let's say 15 feet. Thanks everybody! EDIT -...

I'm looking at small lift options to better clear my 30x9.5 BFGs, and the Rough Country setup seems pretty decent for the price. It's a poly coil spacer, adjustable shackles, and RC 8000 shocks. I know RC doesn't make the very best in suspension equipment, but I'm a college student and on a...

Hey everybody! Those of you who have seen my posts in Off-Topic and the User Support sections will know that I'm trying to gather support for the expansion of the FAQ section into a more extensive section. For those who haven't seen my posts, you can read what I'm suggesting here...

My apologies to the moderators for crossposting, but I know not many members scroll to the bottom and read the User Suggestions forum. Anyway, please have a look at this post: http://naxja.org/forum/showthread.php?t=945279 I would greatly appreciate any input NAXJA members have on this. I...

Given the number of highly talented and knowledgeable members on the board, it seems to me like it might be helpful to those members of the board (like me) who are still learning about their XJs and MJs to perhaps have a section of the site where one could simply browse through instructions on...

So, the cruise doesn't work in my '92, and it appears the reason why is some genius clipped the wires just aft of the switch itself. I've got a new switch, but I'm having a hell of a time routing the wire that goes to the cruise harness under the dash. Obviously I can't unplug the original...

So here's the scoop: I'm using an iBook on 10.4 running MS Remote Desktop Beta 2 to access my XP Pro machine which is networked over (secured) wifi. I would like to use the PC as a music server (using Media Player 11), but whenever the laptop is closed or goes to sleep, it closes the Remote...

So. Yesterday, I'm pulling out of my parking spot at work when I notice I have a flat tire. No big deal, throw on the spare and I'll just limp it over to the tire store. I bust the lugs loose and start lifting it with the super-scary stock jack when a homeless person in a wheelchair rolls by...

So, I replaced the battery clamps/connectors/whatever on my '92 yesterday, meaning the battery was disconnected for about 10 minutes, give or take. Afterwards, the Jeep would crank and crank and crank, and sort of start, then quickly settle into a very low idle (500 RPM or less), and die. I...

Hey all, I know this is sort of a lame post and all, but, you never know who's looking for a worker, right? Anyway, time for me to find something new to help finance my trip to college, and I wanted to see if anyone in Portland knew of any job opportunities, particularly in the automotive...

Hey all. Putting together a trail toolkit to live in the back of my '92. I've got the basics, but what I'm wondering is what specialty tools I might need to snag. I know I need to get a 36MM socket, but are there any other large ones (say, larger than 19mm) that I should get? How about any...

In response to the rant thread, I give you my personal rave: Diane's Place in Kirkland at the intersection of 124th Ave and 116th St. Best freaking sandwiches evAr, and they're cheap. It's across the street from my office, and I've been spending $6.55 that I don't have just about every day...

Found this at the message board with all the black: http://www.pirate4x4.com/forum/showthread.php?t=556945 Seems like a great trick for getting those stubborn fasteners out for those of us without a welder (yet!).

So, went out to the Jeep today to clean it out for my weekend snow run, and I noticed the rear window is completely shattered. It's uniform in its brokeness, and there's no point of impact - looks like maybe the expansion and contraction of the tailgate broke it or something. It has been a bit...
