Anyone have any recommendations for a surfboard rack? My GF and I are going down to NC in the summer for a vacation and want to bring a 7' surfboard and a 10.5' paddleboard. Paddleboard is pretty wide at ~3' so that may cause some issues. Going to take my '01XJ that is completely stock and...

Up for sale are five (5) Jeep Icon rims. These came off of a 2000 Jeep Cherokee Classic. Four bare rims and one rim with a tire that has moderate treadlife left. The rims are just about flawless. Originally going to use them for a project, but I picked up a set of 5.9L ZJ rims, instead...

I have a 1998XJ Sport 4.0L, AW4, NP231, D30/8.25 with (I assume) 3.55 gears. It only has 71,450 miles on the odometer, BUT it has a SALVAGE title that has not yet been recertified with the state of NJ. I have the title and I have receipts that show the repairs done to the vehicle, however, I...

About 146K on them both. Came out of a 1999 XJ Sport I bought to convert my MJ interior. You cannot hear them run because half of the necessary interior parts are now missing, but I can provide a video of it running later tonight. Engine has good oil pressure, no strange noises, and it...

Picked up a wrecked XJ and looking to replace the body parts and make it look somewhat respectable. Color doesn't matter, although if they're in light blue, that'd be a real bonus. Here's what I need: Passenger Fender Front Bumper Front Bumper Endcaps Header Grill Passenger Headlight surround...

This just started happening this past weekend after a 150 mile round-trip excursion. It seems to happen in both two and four wheel drive and is only audible during deceleration. It sounds like someone is lightly tapping a hammer on the underside of my Jeep. The tapping is louder when braking...

I've read some of the threads regarding the P1694 codes, but my particular issue doesn't seem to fit. Most say the CPS is bad and has shorted, but a multimeter shows no signs of this. '98XJ w/AW4. Gauges don't work when the key is in the 'on' position, but the mileage shows on the odo and I...

Last week I received a '99 XJ that was hit in the front right directly on the passenger frame rail behind the bumper. The frame rail looks to be pushed back a bit as the passenger motor mount is misaligned. I plan on using the drivetrain and interior for my '88 MJ project, but that truck isn't...

I have an '01 XJ 4.0L w/156K miles that runs hot, but doesn't seem to be overheating. A little backstory: Waterpump, radiator, and thermostat were replaced about one year ago. Aftermarket radiator developed a crack in the endtank and coolant would shoot out when it got hot. The owner would...

I've got an '01 XJ with about 158K miles on it that has what I would describe as "super power steering." It's almost as if the steering works TOO well, which invokes a sense of fear when I'm driving at highway speeds as I grasp the steering wheel tightly to make sure it doesn't take off in...

I've got a unique situation - I put a '98 motor in an '01 XJ and swapped over all of the newer sensors/electronics to the older motor. Everything was pretty straightforward, EXCEPT for the camshaft position sensor. As some of you are aware, the 4.0L went to a distributor-less ignition system...

I picked up an '01 XJ a couple months back on the cheap, but the thing had rod knock on the #1 cylinder. Pulled the engine and instead of rebuilding, I decided to pick up a used engine out of a wrecked '98 XJ w/89K miles from a local salvage yard. I thought I'd be able to drop the engine in...

I picked up an '01 XJ with the 4.0L engine and AW4 auto trans. The engine had rod knock so I've pulled it and want to swap in a good, used engine from a junkyard. I'm steering clear of the '00-'01 XJ engines because of the 0331 head cracking issues, but wanted to know how broad I can make my...

I can't seem to shake this problem - it started a couple of years ago when I noticed oil changes were getting increasingly thin and I was getting way more oil than I put in not to mention it smelled like gasoline. Parked the Jeep and it sat for a couple of years until I decided to figure out...

The truck starts and runs very poorly, kind of like how an engine runs when its way out of time. It’ll attempt to keep running, but will eventually stall out. Giving it gas causes it to hesitate for a moment before the RPMS increase, at which point it’ll frequently have a misfire. Sometimes...

Just out of the blue, my right blinker on my 1988 MJ stopped working. I've taken the lights all apart and replaced every single bulb in hopes that would fix the problem (plus they needed to be changed anyhow), but that did not work. I put in a new blinker relay in the fuse box under the...

If ya just want to skip down to the problems part and not read my awesome story, skip to the third portion of this thread. Background Story My uncle's neighbor bought a 1988 Jeep Commanche Pioneer back in '89. Came with the 4.0L Inline six and the four speed automatic transmission. The guy...

I've managed to stump numerous mechanics, XJ, and MJ owners alike. Here is the issue I am facing with my trucks: I own a 1986 MJ with the 2.8L V6 (bleh), a 1990 MJ with the 4.0L and I just received a 1988 MJ with the 4.0L. Every single truck is exhibiting the exact same problem - gasoline is...
