I just bought a set of turbines for my XJ off of a 89 Laredo. There are years of brake dust, dirt and grease that have hardened to a crust between the spokes. I used a standard grease remover like purple stuff and I got about 80-90% the stuff off. The remaining stuff is very stubborn. Any...

I just bought a set of shocks for my 96 XJ. It has been a southern vehicle all its life so there no rust just the usual coating of years of road dirt. I know I should probably get under the rear end and use some penetrating oil on the upper bar mounts before attempting to remove the bolts. Any...

So from what I can glean from the net is, the KJ swap out is only for the 8.5 Chrysler rear end and the ZJ swap out applies to the D35c diff. Is this correct?

After doing an OBD2 scan on my 96 XJ 4x4 Country because of a CE light, the result was I have a bad O2 sensor. I went under the XJ to look at where the DS sensor was and how accessible it is. While under there I saw the plug from the sensor was unattached to anything. It was just dangling. The I...

I have the black console insert from an 84-85 XJ with 4wd. The console has a switch where on later XJ's there's a sort of coin tray behind the main shift lever. The switch is vacuum operated and switches between 2 and 4 wheel drive. I also have the transfer case console insert which indicates...

I have a 96 XJ and am looking for advice. I have all the parts to install an OEM retractable cargo cover in the rear of my XJ. I also have a factory rear bumper swing away tire carrier with all the parts as well. I'm trying to decide which one to install. It doesn't make sense to do both. Any...

I was installing my radio in my 96 XJ and while in the dash I noticed one of the wires going to the plug on the rear of the fan speed control switch was burned a bit. Also there is some melting of the plug. In my searches of many XJ carcasses I've noticed that this plug always seems to be melted...

Has anyone tried to or needed to replace the entire roof on their XJ? If so, what was involved? I have some rust on the rear corners above the drip rails. I'd really like to get it repaired so it won't come back.

I have a 96 Country. It has the silver, ribbed cladding along the lower cheat line which is also silver. The cladding is coming loose in a couple spots. The silver lower accent paint is not actually paint but a silver decal that is chipping from sun damage. How can I remove the cladding first...

1996 XJ, instrument lights fuse keeps blowing. It's a 15a fuse in the #15 slot. I was behind the dash putting in a replacement ac/heat control panel. I don't believe there are any electrical lines in that area of the dash that pertain to the instrument panel illumination. All the work was in the...

I keep blowing a 20a fuse when I try to unlock my doors. It happens from both the drivers and passenger door. The doors lock fine, only unlock. I know the relays are good as they are brand new, I replaced them. So I suspect I have a short in one of the solenoids that keeps blowing the fuse. Any...

Just yesterday my door locks stopped working. When I activate the main driver's side switch I hear a click under the dash in the vicinity to the right of the steering wheel. Any thoughts as to what has caused this situation? Thanks.

I have a 96 XJ with the IR tx to unlock the doors. To buy a used replacement fob is over $100. Is there an aftermarket replacement? Or, do I have to just replace the crappy IR system with a more modern setup?

I have a 96 Country and it is painted Stone White. It is easy enough to find the paint code for it, however the XJ has silver trim as in bumper end caps, fender flairs and side cladding. I've searched and can't even find a name for the shade of silver. Anyone have a lead as to where I might be...

I need to remove my carpet in my 96 XJ. Beside removing the seats and console is there anything else I need to be aware of? I have a small rust hole on the passenger side that needs a patch welded in. Also, it will give me a chance to inspect the floor board and clean the carpet as well.

I need to replace my radiator. I have a 96 XJ. I need recommendations. It seems all the radiators out have quality issues and or fitment issues. Any solid recommendations of a radiator without both of the above?

I'm performing this job on my 1996 XJ Country and it is being a SOB. I have everything removed and I cannot get the old alternator out. I have pulled the front mount as well it will not come out and I don't see anyway to do it. I'm thinking about removing the entire alternator mount from the...

How loose generally is the XJ's steering? In other words, sometimes my steering wheel is centered and the vehicle tracks straight using very little correction but at others, if the road has a slope towards the outside lane, to maintain a straight track, the steering wheel is turned to the left...
