Unfortunately there has been an incident...my nearly cherry '98 gave it's life to protect mine. Just shy of it's 200,000th mile. :tears: I'll probably stop limping after a while, but the XJ is ruined. Bad news: front end is totally smashed. Driver side of the unibody got tweaked so much that...

Recently picked up a 2001 XJ with about 197k on it. Oddly, most of under the hood is incredibly clean, but the starter and solenoid are just CAKED with grease and dirt. (probably from changing the oil filter) It's working fine but my OCD really wants to clean it... Am I playing with fire if I...

I just acquired a 2001 XJ 4.0/AW4. It has a brand new 3.5" Rough Country lift kit installed by a questionable mechanic. It has the 231 part time transfer case. The 4WD does not seem to be engaging. When I move the lever it slides rather smoothly and easily, as if it is not connected or...

I have a '98 XJ with a slow leak in the A/C system. I have no plans to try and fix it, I just top it off with another can of refrigerant a couple times a year. I'm wondering though if it might be pushing some of the oil out with the refrigerant? I have no idea where it is leaking. How would I...

I have a '98 XJ, and it needs new tires. It is almost entirely stock, currently with 235/75/R15 tires. The rear leafs are sagging, with nothing in the back they sit almost flat. This is an extra vehicle for me. I don't often put weight in the back. I don't go offroad. I need to fix the...

I recently put a set of LED sealed beam replacements in my '98 XJ. The light output is FANTASTIC compared to the candles I used to have, but I've noticed something odd. When my engine is running, and the headlights are turned off - they still light but much dimmer than usual. Almost like DRL...

I like to drain and refill the pan on my '98 AW4 about every other oil change - I find this to be much cheaper than a full flush, and it's easy to do. I always feel like I'm going to strip out the threads on the drain plug, they don't seem very strong. Does anybody make any kind of drain valve...

I want to install electric fans on my '98 XJ. I know there are a million different ways to do this and just as many opinions on the subject. I have seen people get rid of the stock electric fan and replace it with three aftermarket fans, and I've also seen people keep the stock fan and use...

I just bought a 1998 XJ with the 4.0/auto and 184,000 miles. Seems to be very well kept, runs great, everything seems to check out OK. Then I drove it about 150 miles down the freeway with the A/C on, and it died. As best I can tell the box with the relays in it on the passenger side fender is...
