    WTB extended idle switch

    First off, I know this post should be in the "wanted" section, but for some reason i can't post a new thread there. I am looking to buy a 97+ extended idle switch for my XJ. I have checked all over online and the only website I could find that sold them was jeepsareus.com but after placing my...

    WTB: 2000-2001 overhead console harness

    I recently purchased an overhead console from the junkyard out of a 2000 XJ, but they didn't pull the mounting bracket or harness that goes from the console to the plug-in connector in the passenger side kick-panel. I can't seem to find them anywhere and most of our local junkyards don't have...

    Shelby & Fort Benton, Montana Expedition (56k beware)

    During a lazy weekend while attending MSU-Northern in Havre, I decided to take the new Jeep out for some adventures to explore the surrounding area and distant towns. (Sorry for the crappy quality of the pics, I took them with my cell phone) I started out following highway 2 along the...

    Northern Montana

    It's been a while since i've posted on NAXJA, but i recently moved to Havre, Montana to attend MSU-northern to pursue a degree in diesel technology. I recently purchased a new XJ! It's a black 2000 sport, L6, AW-4, NP 231, all power, etc. It's all stock (for now!) and I was anxious to take it...

    Yikes! Safety first is an understatement!

    I was digging through some old pics I found on my cell and found these. I was rebuilding my front end after repairing the infamous crack in the "frame" at the steering box after NWFest and one of the legs on a jackstand gave out. I was in such a hurry to complete one of the phases of putting it...

    Power steering cooler using radiator trans cooler?

    I have to front end of my Jeep torn down due to a frame stiffener upgrade and figured I'd work on the cooling system while i'm at it. I have an aftermarket HD upgraded radiator (made for an XJ, obviously) and it has a beefy transmission cooler in front. The radiator also has fittings on the...

    So as some of you know, I have a massive rip through my frame between the two lower steering box bolts. I am going to get it welded up properly, but I need help figuring out which frame strengthening kit to use. JKS- comes with inner & outer weld on plates for the driver & passenger side...

    More NWFest carnage...

    First off, sorry for the lack of pics, but my Macbook died and I don't have access to a computer with bluetooth right now to transfer pics from my phone. I was re-examining the steering on my jeep this afternoon because of a "clunk" I've had in my steering since I blew up my driver's side...

    NWfest lost cell phone...

    I am missing a black LG Envy 2 cell phone. The outer screen is broken, the outer keys don't work, the battery is probably dead. It may have fallen out of my pocket somewhere between the Oregon group at the end of camp, the main camp with ACRO or possibly in the Masterpull camp. If found, please...

    Need some ball-joint/knuckle info

    I am trying to replace the ball joints on my '89 non-disco hp d30 and understand that the lower joint uses a threaded tapered adjuster sleeve for tightening the slop between the ball stud and housing. It looks as though the ball joints have NEVER been serviced or replaced. The adjuster ring is...

    Manual door lock cylinder replacement

    For the record: I did my research and searched the forums before posting. I can't seem to find any info on replacing the lock cylinders on my '89. They are non-power and I have removed the trim and plastic backing. The cylinder is in such a position that i cant see anything because it is tucked...

    CJ-10A diesel

    I know it's not an XJ, yada yada, but check this out! http://seattle.craigslist.org/sno/cto/1364009724.html Seems like a pretty reasonable deal for something that unique.

    A rarity?

    How rare is a 2001 XJ 2-door sport with a NV3550 manual, 231, and all power options (windows and locks) and AC? I am thinking about buying it and was just wondering. Thanks! -Brian

    Red Comanche Found

    I was up at Binford metals (or AAA auto wrecking or something like that. one of the yellow buildings with a couple trailers next to the river) in kent scoping out the yard and found a pretty decent looking MJ. It was an I6, 4x4, short bed, red with a canopy. Body and underside look great...

    AW-4 shifting issues...

    I've got a co-worker who just bought a 1990 XJ Laredo with the 4.0, AW-4, NP242, etc. It has 206,000 miles and seems to have been regularly maintained. It hasn't been modified in any way. While driving it under normal conditions in 2wd, it will suddenly rev-up a couple grand and the...

    XJ's with mobile rigs (ham radio)

    Does anyone know where I can find some pictures of ham radio setups in 97-up XJ's? I am looking for custom consoles, mounting positions, electronic component locations, etc. It doesn't matter what kind of radio/scanner/device is in the setup, I'm just looking for ideas. The older body style (up...

    D44 inner seal?

    This may seem like a dumb question, but is there such thing as an inner axle seal on an XJ dana 44? I am putting an Aussie in and noticed that there seems to be space between the inner bearing and the tube itself just big enough for a seal. I have tried searching and have visited parts stores to...

    Ultimate 4.0

    I am trying to design the ultimate Jeep "4.0" Let's say money wasn't an issue (I wish!), what would be the best part combinations from different years and models of Jeeps to build it with? I want a 4.6 stroker kit, blower, and performance parts. I am curious if you can do all this with a newer...
