    Need Shock Advice:

    I've owned it all 26 years, it just turned over 200,000 miles and those shocks have been on it all that time. It doesn't ride horribly. I just bought a 99 2 door with 145,000 on the clock and it will rattle your teeth! My Jeeps pretty smooth except for some bump steer. It's an Up Country...

    Need Shock Advice:

    '96 XJ Classic Up-Country I'm resto-modding my XJ. It's been my daily driver since I bought it new in '96. Never been off-roaded. Now I'm going through and fixing all the little things that bug me about it. I'm on the original shocks. I want a set of really good road shocks, I'm looking at...

    Replacement Steering Wheel For '96 XJ?:

    So my steering wheel is all beat up and I absolutely hate those covers everybody runs. I've been looking at this wheel, but it says it's for export, non-airbag models. Is there a way to make it work, or a better solution? https://www.quadratec.com/.../leather-steering-wheel-95...

    Swap 2000 Dash Into '96?

    Thanks for the tip. Jason at Onewaylight doesn't have any more 84-96 LED instrument cluster sets, and doesn't know if he's going to do any more. Is there anyone else doing them?

    Does the ABS work through the PCM, or is it standalone?

    So I have a '96 that has ABS with a reman engine, rebuilt front and rear diffs, new alternator, steering box, suspension, etc., but a crappy body and interior. I found a non-ABS 2000 with a great body and interior but a bad engine. I'm thinkin I'll just put the 2000 intake and coilpacks on my...

    Looking for stock LCA replacements

    I bought these (both upper and lower) for my '96 back in 2017. Huge improvement and they're still going strong. They have them on amazon now for 46.99 each, 5 years ago they were 21.99! https://www.amazon.com/MOOG-Chassis-Products-CK660203-Control/dp/B00AJEQQVO

    Swap 2000 Dash Into '96?

    Ideally I'd like to simply swap the 2000 dash into my '96. I had a feeling it wasn't going to be quite that simple ... lol

    Swap 2000 Dash Into '96?

    OK, so I have a '96 XJ I bought new, and I still love it. In the past couple of years I've put a reman engine in it, new alternator, water pump, radiator, hoses. I've also completely redone the front suspension (including ball joints) and had both front and rear diffs rebuilt, LSD rebuilt, new...

    Putting ABS Brakes On A Non-ABS XJ?

    OK, so I see lots of posts about people wanting to get rid of their ABS brakes ... what if you want to put 'em ON? I bought my '96 XJ new, and I'm stilly daily driving it today. It's totally a road dog, I've never off-roaded it. My one regret with mine is it's a 4-door, not a 2-door, so...

    Difference Between '96 and '97 Short Blocks?

    Driveability Differences Between 0720 and 0331 Head? OK, so the heater valve disintegrated on my '96 XJ with an 0720 head while I was driving down the highway. I didn't notice until it started skipping like hell. I scanned the gauges, saw the temp gauge was PEGGED and went to pull over. It...

    Difference Between '96 and '97 Short Blocks?

    OK, so I overheated my '96 XJ so bad it cooked the short block. #2 cylinder has only 20 lbs of compression and the walls are scratched to hell. Guess the rings are broken. #3 only has 40lbs, and I'm pretty sure the block is warped; it keeps blowing the head gasket between #s 3 and 4. I can...

    Need Recommendations For Reman Engine

    Well, looks like the old girl needs a heart transplant. The heater valve disintegrated on the highway back in September. Before I noticed anything, it PEGGED the temp gauge, getting so hot she wouldn't run at all. Not frozen up, but wouldn't run. Cooled her off, and she'd start and run, but...

    Muffler Recommendation?

    So last summer my cat started rattlin. When I went to have it replaced the guy told me my 20 yea-old muffler had a hole in it too, so I had him replace it with a stock one. I like my Jeep quiet. It worked fine for a year and a couple of months. The only thing I didn't like about it was when...

    Will an NP242 Transfer Case From a 96 XJ Fit A 98?

    OK, part II ... what about the electronics? The '98 I'm wanting to swap the NP242 from the '96 model doesn't currently have an NP 242. a) Will the wiring on a '98 XJ match up with an NP242 from a 1996 XJ? b) Will the wiring from a non-NP 242 1998 XJ operate an NP242? I want my green "Fill...
