    BUILD: My 1987 "Wagoneer" XJ Limited

    Thanks for the links. I take it the push fit clips is NLA, so the only option is the bolt on option.

    BUILD: My 1987 "Wagoneer" XJ Limited

    Brilliant thread and has been a great reference/inspiration for my 90 Wagoneer in the UK. I need to replace the side trim clips and am struggling to find something suitable over here. Are the ones you have shown above what you have used to replace these? Looks like that supplier does ship...

    XJ Cherokee in England

    It was looking like I would not have a choice, the set I had seen on eBay actually sold for strong money and they needed a refurb. I was mooching around eBay a few weeks later and spotted a XJ that was being sold complete but only good for parts, it had the correct 5 spoke wheels. I shot the...

    XJ Cherokee in England

    Re: XJ Wagoneer in England Friday I had the afternoon off to take the Wagoneer for its MOT. Having a proper mooch underneath I was pleased with how solid it is Now for something slightly different that may be of interest Saturday, I was on Safety Car driving duties at Oulton Park, the...

    XJ Cherokee in England

    Re: XJ Wagoneer in England Work has been a bit hectic recently so progress has been slow. The front brake pads were worn and the discs/rotors a little scored, decided to change them as they were not expensive. One of the caliper pistons was damaged, fortunately I had ordered new seals and...

    XJ Cherokee in England

    The front bumper does have the holes, I think the fog lights were standard on the Wagoneer. The 5 spoke wheels were stock on the Wagoneer, but mine has ended up with the lattice ones at some point, that said the spare wheel is still the 5 spoke

    XJ Cherokee in England

    With the Jeep up and running sweetly and now capable of stopping too, it was time to give the bank account a rest while I got on with a couple of other projects. While idle I decided to look up the origin of the sticker on the tailgate Turns out they are quite a big dealer of American cars...

    XJ Cherokee in England

    Cheers, work takes me to Scotland a few times a year visiting customers. I much prefer the drive to the Frozen North from Manchester than a drive South to Kings Landing. With the snapped manifold stud recessed in the head and not being able to get close I decided to whip the head off and get...

    XJ Cherokee in England

    Thanks Tom, will be sure to do that. Work has begun, the blowing exhaust was down to a snapped manifold stud, unfortunately non of the stud was exposed and being the rear most stud, access for drilling out was limited, so I whipped the head off and left it for my local engineer to get it out...

    XJ Cherokee in England

    Thanks. We had the pleasure of visiting Denver a few years ago for the Mercury Cougar Nationals. We had driven over from S/F and done part of Route 66 and other touristy bits. We spent a few days travelling round the greater Denver area, stunning part of the country, we may well have travelled...

    XJ Cherokee in England

    We are in South Manchester with the Peak Districk on our doorstep. We used to Green Lane/Wheel in the Peak District around 10/15 years ago with a Series 2 and than latterly a Defender, back then many of the lanes were getting closed to "motorised" vehicles. Many of us moved to closed sites for...

    XJ Cherokee in England

    My first post on NAXJA, so I'll try to make it an interesting one.. Sometimes, the best stories start with "watch this" or "I may have been a little drunk" This sort of falls into the later. Bit of a back story first, we are no stranger to the Jeep range having had a couple of Grand Cherokees...
