Ok... So it's time for a tune-up on the old XJ. Wondering if anyone can offer any advice regarding what plugs to run and/or what the difference is between the 2 different plugs that are spec'd. I have an '85 with a 2.5L long-block from an '02 Wrangler. Manifolds, fuel, and ignition systems...

So the new (to me) Jeep needs a front flex line. None of my parts suppliers list stock for an '85. Anyone know what the difference was on the early ones? They have stock for a '90 (which I have on it's way), which uses the same caliper. Anyone know any reason why a line for a '90 won't work on...

Haven't been around for a while but with a new XJ comes new questions. And do I ever have questions. Lol. Been in the XJ/MJ game for a few decades now so I've learned a thing or two over the years. However I just picked up an '85 and that goes back a bit further than my experience. Super...

Anyone know if you can use the brake backing plate off a non-c-clip d35 on a c-clip 35? One of my backing plates on my XJ is totally shot and needs to be replaced. The 35 out of my MJ is sitting on the floor in the garage with good backing plates and all relatively new brake components. The MJ...

Been ages since I've been on here, hope someone can help me out with a nagging issue with my current XJ. Ongoing problem for some time now; my headlights only work for 10-15minutes and then start cutting in and out. This is consistent and happens everytime I turn them on, they always come on no...

I've searched in the past without much luck, and may have already asked: Is there any definitive way to tell the difference without actually splitting the tranny/t-case and counting splines? Looking at doing a 242 swap on the XJ and I'd like to know which one my late 90 model year XJ has for...

Hey all I'm looking at fabbing up a 2" front reciever for our 87 XJ Wagoneer. Wondering what others have done in the past? Anyone got pics of a good build? I've got a pretty good picture in my mind of what I want but I would love to see what others have done. I will be retaining the original...

So the time has come to tackle the issue of rocker protection on our '87 XJ Wagoneer. Looking at doing something a bit different than the usual 2x4 tubing for few reasons. Plan for this Jeep is for it to be the ultimate all-around Jeep, something that is just as at home on the trail as out on...

Hoping someone knows this off the top of there head as my weekend project for the MJ is currently stalled at 4:30 friday afternoon. Not a good start. Anyway the question is; will an '89-90 engine compartment harness plug into an '88 interior harness? I wanted to swap out my badly hacked and...

Sorry guys but I'm on dial-up here and just can't bring myself to wade through a thousand posts saying "it's junk, throw it away" but not actually offering any useful info. God knows I'll tell anyone who will listen to never buy a jeep with a peugout tranny or a 2.8, but somehow one has wound up...

So the entire gauge cluster in the MJ has gone dead. I'm thinking it may be a ground issue. Does anyone know precisely where the instrument cluster ground is on an '89 MJ? How about a '91 XJ? My XJ did the exact same thing about ten minutes before the motor blew. In both cases the temperature...

Sorry guys I know this is on here somewhere, but searching for anything that includes "AW4" can take days. Figured somebody know off the top of thier head so here goes: How hard would it be to use a '93 AW4/242 combo in my '90 MJ? The MJ currently sports a t-flite and 207 but I have a '93...

Noticed when we had the country on the hoist saturday night that the rear DS binds quite badly at the front joint at full droop. Is this common to the 242 and 8 1/4 combo or is there an issue somwhere. I check the shaft on the limited with 242 and d35 and it's got tonnes of clearance. Anyone...

Sorry accident guys. can someone delete?

Hooked up with the local jeep club for a trail run on Sunday. It was ridiculously wet and cold but we had great time. The trails were really slimy, but we took the $500 parts jeep we bought a few weeks ago so we didn't have to worry quite so much about body damage as some of the others. Although...

As some of you may know I've started racing my old '91 XJ. After being quite competitive in the 2 events I ran this season we're really hooked now. Here's the class rules for the class I'm currently running: 4 & 6 Cylinder Stock Class -Anything that is factory built stock, full stock body...

I've been led to believe that the XJ floor changed slightly for the 96 model year, correct? I understand that the newer style replacement floor pans won't work in an older XJ, but what about the entire floor? Can you put the entire floor pan for a '96 model in an older jeep?

Ok, so I've been racing my XJ and at the last event I crushed my tranny cooler lines because I put my UCA bolt in backwards. Cut the damaged lines off last week and when I went to replace the damaged sections today I realized I don't know which one goes where. Good job huh? Anyone know real...

Where'd my other thread go?

Tried posting this yesterday but it never showed up. Throttle cable is broke on our '89 4.0. Will any XJ cable work or do I need a specific one. I have 3 2.5 cables but no 4.0's. Thanks in advance.
