    quarter floor pan replacement

    Has anybody bought the replacement floor panels from Quadratech? I just got a front drivers side section, and I'm about to start cutting out the rust. Just eyeballing it, it looks a little long. Should these fit right in, without messing with the cross bar that the front seat bolts to?

    fan control issue?

    So do ALL old XJs have the symptom of a melted connector block behind the fan control? I went to the boneyard looking for a replacement part because I think mine might be malfunctioning, and every one I looked at had some degree of deformation of the plastic connector block right behind the fan...

    ??? electrical gremlins, please help

    96 XJ, 4.0, Auto, power everything, plus aftermarket stereo & alarm stuff by a previous owner. So, I had the bad headlight switch problem, blowing the fuse and cutting out my running & dash lights. I finally got around to replacing the headlight switch, taking apart the dash and remove the...

    REQ: pic of stock fuse panel

    I'm having electrical trouble. First, I lost the running lights, which I got back after putting in a new headlight switch. Now, for some reason the battery is draining with everything sitting off. I thought I had found the short that was causing problems for my headlight switch and the running...

    headlight switch drama

    !$^%&^& I didn't read the fine print, and NAPA wouldn't return the headlight switch I bought this morning, because I had plugged it in. Naturally, I wanted to return it, because I still have the same problem as before - no running lights with headlights on. So if I assume the headlight switch...

    a variation on "stuck door" syndrome

    One day, I couldn't get the drivers side rear door open. It had been getting pretty stiff for a while. This time, I pushed really hard on the button to open the door, and the button broke through, and went all the way inside the door! (and the door didn't open besides) Now, the door can be...

    trailer axle hub swap?

    I bought a milsurp trailer with big, ugly, old and really beefy hubs on it. How hard is it to take off the hub, and mount a new hub to the existing axle tube, let's say an F250 rear hub assembly? It's a M101 3/4 ton trailer, with parking brakes only, operated by two handles.

    did bolt patterns for receiver hitches ever change?

    I went to a Jeep-only salvage yard (not a u-pull, and not cheap, but good), and asked for a hitch for a Cherokee. He sold me a nice one, practically new, for $75 with bolt retainers for the frame rail (not the nutsert strips, but usable). I got the thing under my '96 XJ, and the darned holes...

    swap new AC compressor into older system?

    I have a 96, and my AC compressor needs to be replaced. I picked up a compressor from a 99 in a boneyard without realizing (I'm dumb that way sometimes) that they changed the system in between. The old style has the hoses going into the back of the compressor, the new unit has the hoses going...

    help removing front seats

    I'm trying to get front seats out to patch the floor pan on my 96 Country. The front bolts came out okay, but I broke one of the rear bolts, and the other rear bolt is so frozen, it's threatening to break. Any tips?

    problem w/overhead console temp sensor

    I recently had some front end "issues" (had to replace the grille, grille surround & radiator), and when I got everything back together, my handy overhead console thermometer just says "OC." What's up with that? What's it mean? How do I fix it? The compass works fine, but I understand the...

    help - radiator, tranny cooler line

    I've read all about how to do the lower "quick disconnect" transmission line into the radiator. What about the upper line? I'm having trouble with that. Supposedly, it just unbolts. If I turn the larger bolt, it obviously twists the transmission line. Am I supposed to hold the larger bolt and...

    salvage radiators?

    What's the advisability of using a second-hand radiator from a u-pull-it yard? Do '97+ radiators fit in a '96?

    help: front end, radiator repair

    I had a little accident, and now I need to spend money I don't have on fixing my Jeep. The damage was not too bad: grille & grille surround are ruined, bumper was crunched, and the passenger side bumper bracket ruined, radiator pushed back, almost knocking out the dowels from the lower seats...

    Tell me about York

    I know there's a person or two at NAXJA who's from York - tell me about your town. I'm considering moving there, and want to know. Nice? Nasty? On the way up? Must-see spots? Neighborhoods to avoid? Highlights, quirks? Is this a place a person could live happily for a few years?
