So I made progress yesterday but am a DUMB ASS. I have been so sort of asleep i put in both upper ball joints first instead of starting with the lowers. SO....then I tried to install one of the bottom ball joints by flipping the C clamp upside down while using those OTC ball joint press...

These are both solid ideas. I wish I had some fellow XJ buddies in the area. Do they do any Cherokee Meet-ups in the Boston area you gys know of?

C'mon fellas. Nobody is in the area that can help me with the breaklines? Guess I have to go doorknocking on the houses with the jeeps in their driveways. lol

Hey Guys, This is hard and embarrassing to post. I am not one who usually asks for help but I need some if anyone is willing and lives in the Boston area (Weymouth, MA) My wife and I have been renting my friend's house for the last few months. They primarily live and work in CA and offered us...

tomorrow is the day! I hope that I get it all finished. Can’t wait to tell you guys a crazy story but I’m gonna wait until I finish everything. But I have another cool story to tell…. I was walking around in a new town that that I’ve temporally moved to and noticed a business that had a...

What you need? I have 3 XJ’s

Hey guys, I’m in need of some manual window door panels to convert my electric windows. Must fit 2001 Jeep Cherokee XJ. If you have any, please let me know. Thanks guys! -Fletch

Hey guys, Anyone on here in the Boston area? I have a bunch of free xj stuff and also end in need of some also. Will post that I have later when I get home. If you’re in the New England area and have free/cheap xj stuff or need stuff let me know. -Fletch

Whats your favorite most successful method? Thanks for sharing this. What kind and size tap remover would you suggest?

Thats actually a great idea but I don't have a welder. I may have to ask my buddy to come over with his. Do you mean the thickness of the tap? I bought a cheap Chinese tap and I think that may be why...Here is a pic of the broken tap: Broken Tap Pic I am terrified that I am going to mess this...

They were pretty beat up already. Which actually explains alot. Now I have to find some axel shafts to buy. This thing just keeps taking my money. Anyone in the Boston area have any they's like to sell?

Hey fella's, So I took out my axel shafts and removed the U-joints. They were in pretty rough shape initially but I also did some damage myself when using the angle grinder bc they were already rusted to hell so it took alot of heat and banging with the sledge. Would these still be OK to use...

There is nothing sicking out. Maybe .5mm of 1/4 of initial material. Just a tiny nub. lol I went in there with some needle nose and try to use that small little piece on the lip as leverage to unscrew it. There seems to be playing there, but I can’t keep the rotation consistent. I’ll take a...

Hey Guys, Could really use your help. Front brake hardline broke on the passenger so I am looking for a CHEAP kit but can't seem to find one. Only ones I found online are for NON-ABS. Will NON-ABS brake lines work with ABS? I have a 2001 so unforutnarley, I have ABS until I swap the 35 wit a...

Got far today. Got all but one (lower) ball joints out. Left tension on the other one over night with the BJ press and will give it another wack in the am with some OB and heat. Applied rust converter on the frame, unibody, and differentials. Once cured in the am I’ll give everything a power...
