Save me from my lack of pre-project research. I converted a '99 auto 2WD to manual 4x4 using the guts from a rolled '97. Swapped over everything including ECU, and it runs and drives but I have some unresolved issues. The main issue is the speedo output on the back of the t-case is different...

***DISREGARD - Figured it out. Please delete. *** I'm in the middle of replacing the heater core on my '99 XJ. When I removed the heater core from the blower box, a small plastic part came out with the core and fell on the table. I cannot figure out for the life of me where this thing goes...

I have a '99 and a steep driveway. Normally I park facing uphill, but I backed in today to hook up a trailer. A few minutes later, a surprising amount of water was running out behind the right front wheel. I'd somewhat expect this if it had rained or I'd been running the A/C, but it hasn't...

I'm about to go pull the AW4 and 231 out of a '98 XJ at the yard. Can anyone suggest what tools I should have with me to make sure I get it done the first trip? This place is probably 15 miles away, I don't want to be making second trips for tools. While I'm asking noobish questions - Will a...

Is a ZJ the perfect marriage of an XJ and a WJ? I love my XJ, but have been looking at WJs recently. They (the WJs) are nice and all, but they seem kinda...bland. A ZJ seems like a nice combo of more XJ-like looks and WJ cush. Having never driven a ZJ, I defer to your opinions. If a guy...

I have a '99 but it's 2wd - don't ask me why I bought a 2wd Jeep, I ask myself that weekly. I'm looking for either a nice runner, or a basket case that has all the parts to convert mine. My '99 only has 75K miles on it, so I'd rather convert it to 4WD than end up with something with 150K...

Anyone know of a JY in the Tulsa area that has Jeeps? I've yet to find one with much.

I have a '99 with what I think is the factory tow package - 2" receiver, tranny cooler, brake / turn signal relays behind the spare. My rear leaves are shot, I have maybe 3" of uptravel before the bumpstops, and I'd like to replace the springs with something a bit softer. Stamped on the...

I recently came across a 50K mile '99 in near-perfect shape. The downside is it's 2WD, the upside was it was cheap, in great shape, and has the uber-cool overhead console. I can fix the 2WD part... The "near-perfect" part is that it has a sound from the front end that sounds to me like bad...

Disregard, used head and answered own question. Sure wish you could delete posts...

Just for anyone's reference...seems like this question comes up fairly often; Here is a more-or-less complete listing of all the stock wheels that will fit an XJ with names and sizes. Credit to Yellowcherokee (is he on NAXJA?) for the pics. http://rides.webshots.com/album/131617732mGjiQC?start=0

I've been wanting to convert my 2WD '99 to 4WD since I inherited it a few years ago, but I have been waiting for the right parts donor to come along. Lo and behold, a '92 with 160K miles comes up for sale locally for cheap. Rough body, but supposedly good driveline. Also has stainless header...

Okay, this isn't the usual kiddie lockout thread. I've been messing with this nonsense for 2 days and can't for the life of me figure it out. In my '99 the right rear window will not roll up with the switch on the rear door. Down works fine, but no up. The drivers panel will not roll it...

I just did the 'poor man's flush' on my 120K mile '99, and everything went well until I tried to hook the return line back to the transmission. Two questions: There is a small black plastic ring that fits over the line going into the transmission that fell out when I disconnected the line...

I got this from a book called "Chassis Engineering" by Herb Adams and thought they'd come in handy around here. Pretty good book, but dedicated to sports car suspension and definetly not Jeep related. These formulas are universal tho, obviously. Coil spring rate=...

So my Jeep has about 120K miles on it, and the battery and ground cables are so worn out and corroded that they aren't worth saving. I wanted to do things right (as opposed to doing things the way the factory had done), so I checked out 5-90's cables on his site and came *this* close to...

Any reason a setup like this wouldn't work on the rear of an XJ? I use my XJ as a daily driver, so this isn't in the cards for me, but y'all have got me all interested in suspension theory. This is off a '70-ish 2WD C-10 pickup (disregard lowering blocks), but seems like it'd work well for...

I know I'm the new guy. I really searched, I promise...even used google. :) I inherited a '99 Classic, which I like, but its 2WD. I've read several threads on here about converting to 4x4, and I'm getting ready to hit the salvage yards in search of parts. I was wondering if a D30 out of...

Anyone ever heard of such? Guy claims its possibly a prototype...hmmm. http://cgi.ebay.com/ebaymotors/ws/eBayISAPI.dll?ViewItem&item=110156909954&indexURL=0#ebayphotohosting
