    help hunting down an electrical gremlin in my 98 xj, I think it's timing

    i have a 98 xj with the 4.0 5 speed and whenever water gets up in my cherokee's business (puddles and rain, not wild stream crossings) it will randomly get a really rough idle like it has a huge cam and go from like 400 RPM to 1300 or so. if I'm driving when it happens it'll just die until I...

    Differences between APN header and more expensive ones?

    I've got the stock headers on my 98 XJ and they're cracked, so time for some new ones. I've seen the APN and Banks/Gibson/whatever else recommended, and the APN seems to have good reviews, but the Gibson/Banks/Whatever always seem to be followed by "Yeah and I got a noticeable performance...

    Anyone in Tuscaloosa?

    Haven't really seen any built up XJs around here except for mine. It's the red '98 on 33's with the obnoxious Firestik on top.

    Whose Rig Is This???

    What kind of taillights are those? I'm on the hunt for some replacements and like the look of those.

    FS one 33x10.5 R15 Super Swamper TSL never used

    I got my brother's XJ and it came with ATs all around, and a TSL spare. I've since swapped out all the tires, and now have the TSL just sitting around unused. It's old, but as far as I know never been used. No signs of dry rotting or any other issues. I'm in Tuscaloosa, Al. No idea what this...

    What necessitates a Durango steering box upgrade?

    I have a '98 XJ that needs a new steering box (or a rebuild) and was just wondering if I should spring for the Durango box or not. It's going to stay on 33's for the rest of it's life, and only see pretty mild fourwheeling. The tires already rub on the LCAs at full lock so I don't even really...

    rhinolined interior inputs?

    Buy the Husky heavy duty plastic floormats. You'll get a lot of heat in the cabin without the heat insulation, and on long drives the soles of your shoes can melt to the floor. Not really badly but they definitely get sticky without the floor mats. I think you could install some dynamat and then...

    Sunglasses?

    Anyway. I know mirrored and brown are two different things. But do they not make deep tinted brown ones? I mean I've seen regular darkness and lighter brown ones so I don't see why there couldn't be darker ones.

    Sunglasses?

    Looking for a pair of aviators. I'm looking for ones with a medium-largeish frame size. Gold with brown lenses. I also want them to be dark enough that you can't see my eyes. So that eliminates Raybans, Von zippers, and oakleys. Figured I'd ask you guys. Also, is there a term for being unable...

    legalize it?

    In the eyes of the law, impaired is impaired. Physically, they're different. Marijuana doesn't affect your motor skills. I could walk just as straight of a line high as I could sober. It doesn't even affect my decision making. I usually say it pretty much makes my body feel funny. Obviously...

    legalize it?

    Pretty sure my post was fine. Except for leaving that one word out, but I noticed it. If I was growing 40-60 lbs I don't think I'd be talking about it to ANYONE. :shhh:

    What happens if I short the starter leads?

    It's all the time. I hope it's just the battery. nothing gets power, much less the jeep starting. Let's pretend it isn't the battery. What else could it be? I'm trying to cover all the bases since with my luck it won't be that easy.

    What happens if I short the starter leads?

    I was playing around with my starter, and of course the negative terminal fell BACK onto the battery, and I think I shorted the leads, because now nothing gets power, and the battery's voltage is fluctuating between 11v and 7v. I was making small talk at a buddy's shop and someone said it...

    Manual transmission 98 XJ no start

    The engine doesn't turn over at all. A bad CPS doesn't prevent the engine from turning over, does it? I don't think it does but I'm not confident enough to say.

    Manual transmission 98 XJ no start

    I was actually hoping to do that regardless, thanks for the info. The only reason I'm leaning more towards that sensor is that a week ago it let me start it without touching the clutch (which it usually doesn't do) so I would assume that it's malfunctioning again, just not to my benefit. Is...

    Manual transmission 98 XJ no start

    I have a 4.0L 98 XJ that won't start, and it's either the sensor that tells the computer when the clutch is engaged/disengaged, or the ignition switch. When i turn the key to start (regardless of clutch engagement) nothing happens. All the electronics work fine, battery isn't dead, nothing. So...

    legalize it?

    Just noticed that should be "several times a day," not "I've smoked several times." That mix-up would definitely have an impact on the legitimacy of my post.

    legalize it?

    I smoke several times, and made it my goal is to not let anyone onto my habits. I dress well, have no trouble holding a job, and definitely consider myself a functioning member of society. I have plenty of friends who aren't like this, but they were the same before any of them started smoking...
