hello guys, well this morning I went out and tried to start my xj and it wouldnt start till the 4th try and then at lunch it wouldnt start and niether after school. We checked and it looks like im not getting electricity to my coil or distributor. If it helps last night i went through a puddle...

well my transfer case (np242) went out awhile ago so I went to the junkyard and got another one and put it in there and it seems to be working ok accept that when im driving in 2 wheel drive every now and then the green full time 4x4 light flickers on and off for a second. Why is it doing this...

well if you arent concerned about security cameras in high school parking lots I would find those cars and make sure the doors are locked, if not then lock them, then take a bunch of toothpics or copper welding rod for oxy-acetylene and then jam them in the key hole and break it off so their car...

thats a good point but I would look for one with lower milage

my back seat was all battery acid eaten so i pulled it apart and the back is a big piece of foam wrapped around a little flimsy stamped steel frame. I was pretty surprised by what a flimsy design it was. So as mentioned before dont attatch anything heavy to it

I'm talking about one of these. I'm not much for the new cruisers

well the np242 just died in my poor xj and it got me thinking. with my xj getting older and more worn out (200k miles now) I might not want to keep it much longer. I know that my 4.0 and aw4 can go much longer but I can't spend alot of time and money to keep everything else running along with it...

I'll start by saying I havent done a whole lot of mechanical tinkering but I can do it decently enough. well the np242 died in my xj wagoneer awhile back so I got around to removing it and am having some troubles, the problem I'm having is where the t-case bolts to the transmission , on the...

when you are no longer concerned by squeaks rattles or moans when you go around the parking lot 7 times just so you can keep busting through the same snowdrift when youre the only one who is parked on a snowdrift and take pictures and are proud of it when the b.g. pic on your cell phone is...

awesome job, Congrats on making a full frame xj and not making it look tacky and butt ugly, I always thought it would be kind of cool to do that to an xj and then cut the top off of it

I think the panel is kind of unique and neat and all, I dont think I'm interested in a conversion van-jeep though (but I do wanna see make an xj with an old vw camper van roof that folds up into a tent :D

Talladega Nights was good. No xj's but there was a nice 69 chevelle

I think that if I were to make one I would build one out of an fsj wagoneer, might wanna switch to a more efficient engine though it its gonna be luggin all that weight around

well recently I got the power door locks working in my 88 xj (thank greg smith for his awesome writeup) and now I want to have keyless entry. my jeep has the factory keyless entry system but the remote was lost somewhere over the years. so I went to my local dealership and they gave me that...

when i saw that i was kinda let down because im a case IH fan, we use em on our farm and theyre great, I swear our old 656 is part jeep, it has a bunch or little quirks always fires right up and does anything we ask it to... but it probably wouldnt pull an apc lol
