PSA first: DO NOT BUY THIS ROUGH COUNTRY STEERING KIT! Reason: The tie rod ends failed very quickly and Quadratec (they have been great throughout this ordeal) has been trying since early November to get the tie rod ends warrantied, with no response from Rough Country. This has led to an...

Has anyone checked the prices on re-gearing differentials lately? Wow..I am in Houston and was quoted $2400 by one shop and $2600 by another. These are both well known shops that have been in business 20+ years. That seems kinda steep considering the parts are less than $1000. Is this...

Is normal? I have a new to me 01 4x4 that has had vibration at 55+ since I got it. Assumed it was pinion angle, but not too concerned because the lift kit is on the way. I just got underneath and put sideways/up and down force on the front driveshaft slip joint and it is rather loose...

Hi all, I recently bought an 01 4x4 XJ with 180K miles on it. I changed all fluids, flushed cooling system and replaced rear main seal, oil pan gasket and valve cover gasket about 1 month ago. I only have a few hundred miles on Jeep. Yesterday, one of the PCV valve elbows disintegrated when...

Just wanted to post up some results and afterthoughts.... I have a 2000 XJ, 2wd with about 270K. 1) I put the Jeep on jackstands and removed the tires and shocks, removed the back shackles and dropped the rear down. Once both sides were done, I put the bolts back in and did the same with the...

2000 XJ, 4.0, automatic, 2WD, 220K.. So I was driving down the freeway and the check engine light came on, all gauges went dead and the odometer said what appeared to be "no bu5". The jeep ran just fine, but I pulled off the freeway and when I came to a stop, everything started functioning...

When I first got my 2000 XJ, my best friend advised me to put in a new crankshaft position sensor and keep the known good one in the glove box. That has saved me 2x since 2004, and my Mom once since 2005...the most recent for me being tonight. It is nice to have one on hand, as it saves you a...

My buddy and I decided to do a cooling system flush on our 2000 XJ's, 215K and 15OK mileage. I had been reading about Rydlyme for outboards and thought it might work good on our Jeeps. So we rigged up a marine transfer pump to pump into the water pump outlet and ran a hose from the exit of the...

I did a search and did not see the exact problem I am having..here goes: I was having a problem with the passenger side window not functioning from either the passenger or driver side switch....I figured it was one of the two. Then, a new problem began last week on the driver's side, the...

Me and and buddy had a control arm bushing party this weekend. I have a 2000 XJ, he has a 97 XJ. On the recommendations of a buddy, I went to a muffler shop with upper and lower bushings in hand, and had him expand a 12" piece of pipe that just fit over the bushings at each end. To remove the...

My 4 point cooling system makeover is completed as of this weekend. I tow either a boat or ATV trailer every weekend and was overheating either in traffic or going down the beach. I had previously installed an aftermarket 2-row radiator with larger tubes and metal tanks. So here are the...

Quick question regarding my A/C compressor. When I turn the A/C on, it cools briefly, then the compressor seems to lock up and the belt starts smoking as the pulley won't turn. Then when I turn the A/C off, the pulley will spin again. I am guessing this is something internal in the...

2000 XJ, 4.0, 200K miles Several years ago, my regulator broke in the passenger front window. At the time, I could not find an aftermarket replacement, and did not think dealer prices were worth it. So I used a hose clamp around the track. Recently checked RockAuto and picked up a new motor...

Just wanted to say thank you to this forum. I signed up yesterday and was able to solve my problem with advice gleaned from this forum. I have a 2000 XJ 4.0 with 198K (best vehicle I have ever owned...just wish I had a 4x4). Friday morning my Jeep had a very rough idle and misfire with...
