    Looking for a 2.5 4cyl out of any jeep...

    Looking for a 2.5L 4cyl engine out of any jeep (93+ wranglers, not sure of the years on XJs). I work at a local shop (mostly jeeps) and we need a good-running engine for a 2.5 swap for a customer. If you can find one for us i'll discuss price on it with my boss, then we'll probably have a deal...

    Planning a two-tone...

    Yesterday I woke up and had a great idea to two tone the XJ. I wanted a meaner, bolder look. I considered lime green, electric blue, hunter-safety orange, and silver, but ended up on flat black. It still looks elegant while changing the look up enough for people to notice. The top half will be...

    Trim Adhesive removal

    Pulled my side trim off of my 97 sport and it left all the crazy-strong adhesive strips along the side of the body. I'm thinking about painting there and need it gone. How can I get this stuff off fast, short of an abrasive disc on a grinder?

I'm now in safe mode trying to find a way to get rid of this thing, it doesnt...

    Let's talk rim width..

    I googled and searched, couldn't find what I was looking for. I have BFG AT KO 31x10.5 15, currently on stock 7" wide XJ wheels. Just found an insane deal on four wheels with better backspacing but rim width is 10". 33's are in the plans but are currently quite a ways off unless I work a ton...

    defroster and battery voltage...?

    I had a pretty dry-rotted nasty old defroster (AC Pump?) belt so I had it replaced. About a week later the squeal came back so we were going to meet up to have it tightened again but haven't gotten around to it. Tonight I noticed with the defroster on, it will start to squeal, voltage will drop...

    Anyone have a Vehicle History Report account I could use?

    Free stuff!

    Free- headlight buckets and bumper endcaps from a black 97 XJ. One of the endcaps has a slight tear in it if i remember correctly, but not noticeable. Also if anyone has a need for part of a black 97+XJ grille, most of mine survived the crash and is free as well. Will not ship. thank you, Greg

    bedliner and rustproofing on underside

    I'm trying to prep the underside of my XJ to prevent rust before the snow flies, and the salt flies. I'm gonna get under there with a wire brush wheel, take care of some little spots (I got lucky when I bought it-almost no rust) and i'll finish up with sandpaper and a hand-held wire brush to get...

    Free 10" JL Sub

    Free 10" JL Audio subwoofer. The center cone is missing where it says "JL" but it still hits pretty hard. The sound is affected a little, but not enough to really notice unless your an audiophile. I just replaced it with a newer one, so this is just taking up space. Also comes with the rubber...

    replacing the hatch- wiring question

    My hatch is rusted out and I'm heading to the junkyard soon to pick up a "new" one. The wires must run up one or both of the sleeves that go from the hatch into the body, that's the only path. Where is the plug for the wiring for the hatch? is it in the sleeve, the headliner, or in the hatch...

    Shaking at 60

    When I bought the XJ, the guy told me it shook at 60 and it was ball joints. When I took it in for inspection, my mechanic said ball joints were fine. I had both front u-joints and front brakes done for inspection, and the u-joints helped the shake a little, but not much. The magic number is...
