It's been many moons since I last posted and here I am, hat in hand. I had a bit of a fender bender the other day and am in need of some parts. If anyone has a line on somebody parting out a later model XJ, this is what I need: Front axle assembly, 3.55 gears preferred but I can swap in what...

I have a 2001 XJ, 4.0, Auto. It has 43K miles on it. Ran fine yesterday, parked it overnight, today it won't start. Turns over strong, but no go. Fuel pressure is 46.5 psi. All fuses are good. Swapped around some of the relays and made no difference. No codes stored. Have not found a...

My computer is driving me crazy and one of you might have some ideas about what is wrong. Everything was great until a couple of weeks ago. One web site I frequent is pirate4x4 and they moved their servers and did some vbulletin upgrades. Since then, I cannot access the www website, just the...

I went to the Western Idaho Fair last night and the local 4x4 club brought out a bunch of Jeeps and rock buggies to put on a show. There were two XJs in the group - one was Boise49ers and I'm not sure who the other one belonged to. Boise49ers rolled earlier in the week but was back out last...

I know I just missed a set of these, but does anyone else in the northern Utah area or Idaho have a set of tow hook brackets they'd like to part with? I will be down in SLC this weekend if anyone wants to make a deal. I'm not sure I'll get there early enough for the M&G on Friday, but could...

It's time to replace the '99 Blazer and I'm looking at current options. The two vehicles that I have found are both 2004s - Chevy Trailblazer and Grand Cherokee. The GC has slightly lower miles but a higher price tag. Both have the I-6 engines. We only tow a small utility trailer and a small...

I need to buy some SS wire rope and other stuff for work and found these guys on the web. Great prices, but I can't find them in BBB searches, etc. Has anyone purchased from them and what was your experience? Thanks Spudboy

I have a water heater that also supplies hot water to the heat exchanger in the furnace (Bradford-White Direct Vent) and I have some questions regarding the Honeywell Smart valve gas valve. The water heater is about 4 years old and I've replaced the valve once on warranty about two years ago...

A couple years back, I downloaded the install instructions for the factory tire carrier for '91 and up XJs. (Attaches to the bumper and hatch, not the rear quarter panel.) Now I need them and can't find the file. Does anyone else out there have the file or link to those instructions? I'm pretty...

Thanks to Eagle for the advice in my earlier question about spring bushings. I got the replacement springs in on Saturday and it all worked out well. As a bonus, once I got the springs cleaned up a little, it turned out they were the "country" springs so I'm now 1 1/2 inches higher in the back...

I have searched the forums and haven't quite got an answer to this. If I missed something in my search, please direct me to the thread. I have a '91 that has sagged some in the back, and the flair will rub against the tire if I have 3 adults in the back seat - so I have concluded that my springs...

I know a lot of you have military and or hunting experience so here's a question for you. I'm thinking about buying a spotting scope for watching whales, birds, and other wildlife, as well as just looking at the scenery. I have a budget of $100 to $150. I remember learning about lenses in...

I am currently with Verizon and am happy with their service so don't want/need to change. I am looking for a new phone and am not impressed with the current Verizon selection. Can I buy a phone that I like from someone else and get it programmed by Verizon? Is there a place out there that just...

I have a 1976 Yamaha DT-250 (enduro) that has sat in the back of my dad's shop since 1983. During that time it has not been started. I'm thinking I should try to get it back on the road as it is in excellent shape and only has 5100 miles. So the question is: What should be done to the engine...
