    Conversion to 5 Speed

    Kind of sick of my automatic. I miss my 5speed! I have too much into this XJ to sell it and start over again on another. What do I need and what work do I need to do to convert it to a 5speed? Im talking mechanical and electrical? -tranny -pedal assembly - shifter - t/case - clutch master...

    CHECK ENGINE LIGHT

    Will that turn on the key 3times and the engine light will flash the code trick work on a 99? I've tried it several times to no avail. I dont feel like paying to have it scanned or paying $179CAN for a scanner....

    Mystery CLUNK

    So everytime my front passenger side hits a bump I feel and hear a clunking in the floor of the truck....No play in the steering aside from the draglink/knuckle mount. Would this cause that clunk over bumps? If not any idears? Balljoint?

    Trac-Bar Alignment

    How do you make sure your adjustable trac-bar is keeping the axle sitting even? I think the person who put my adj trac-bar on tightened it with the vehicle in the air......Does this sound right: 1) un-bolt trac-bar at axle 2) Jack truck up 3) sit truck back down and bounce the suspension to...

    De-Cat with 2 O2 sensors

    Okay my question is: OBDII XJs have two O2 sensors..one on the downpipe right after the header and one after the cat. If I were to "straight pipe" my XJ by removing the cat would I mess up my computer with the reading from the last O2 sensor being off? Anyone have any expirience with this? Plz...

    Propane Conversion

    So up here in Canada gas is at $1.10 a liter (about $3.30/gal). I am wondering if it is possible to convert my 1999 OBDII 4L to propane? And if so will the savings in $$$ from buying $0.40/L propane be worth it? What negative effects would I see? Just thinking.....

    Plugged Cat

    How can you tell when your catalytic converter is plugged up? I banged on it with my hand but didn't hear any rattling or anything. Jeep's been acting up a little bit lately.

    Temperature

    So how long does it take your guys XJ to get up to temperature? (Middle of the gauge). Mine gets up there in about 5 minutues of driving in about 18 degree (Celsius) weather. Should I be concerned about overheating on the trail? It never goes over 100 degrees (middle of the gauge).

    Gauge Problem

    So driving to work today the AIRBAG light comes on and the speedo drops to zero. I smacked the top and everything went back to normal. Then a little while later the RPM's went to zero and the AIRBAG light came on again. Again a smack cured it. Hasn't done it since....wierd...cluster? Wiring? Ideas?

    8.25 Swap

    I found an 8.25 axle out of a 97 (so its the 29spl) for $250CAN with 220,000kms on the clock. I have a few questions: 1) Where should I look for abnormal wear? The seller says he has checked the pinion and case bearings and they seem fine. 2) Does anyone have a pic of an 8.25 so I can identify...

    Stock Crossmember Strength

    How stong is the stock crossmember on my 99XJ? I wanted to bend up a tub to make a skidplate for my tcase and just weld it to my stock crossmember....would that hold up? Im not looking to set the whole weight of the vehicle on it just something a little stronger than the stock "tin" skidplate.

    Driveshaft play.....

    So I was investigating my front end "click" and found something mildly disturbing on my front driveshaft. The part just after the front yoke where the splines are covered by the greaseable boot has a hell of a lot of up/down side/side play in it. 1/4" to 1/2" of play. Its definatly not a bad...

    Front End "CLICK"

    So under normal driving conditions I am getting a "click-click-click" coming from the front drivers side area...it is relative to speed. The faster I go the faster it clicks, the slower I go the slower it clicks. I replaced the hub/bearing (which was howling like a whooore) last weekend, along...

    Front Control Arm Specs

    I'm thinking my front control arms need to be adjusted a little longer than they are now. I think my front axle is sitting waaay to far back in the front wheelwell. Does anyone know how long the adjustible (upper and lower) control arms are "supposed" to be with the 4.5" RK kit? I dont want to...

    Different Hubs

    So whats this garbage about two different hubs on my truck? I called the parts store looking for hubs and they asked if I had composite or all cast rotors...as the hubs thickness is different because one rotor sits differently than the other. What kind of garbage is this? How the hell am I...

    Fog Light Gremlins

    Back when I first got the XJ I wired my 55W Hella 500's into the factory fog-light wiring so I could use the factory switch. That worked great for about three months. Now when I try to turn them on they'll stay on for only a couple of seconds then off again. If I wiggle the switch and hold it in...
