    Temperature probe

    See now in my '00 I plumbed in some fittings so I could run a tester and the oil gauge sensor at the same time to see how they compared. They pretty much read the same.

    WTB: OEM Brush Guard for front bumper in IL

    Try to get all the mounting hardware with it if you find one to buy. It is very specific. Guessing something could be fabbed up if you don't but.......

    96 XJ, 16” Jeep Icon Rims& Wheel Spacers

    Well seeing how from the factory they came with 225 70 16's and your running 265 70 16's which are a little over 1.5" wider thinking maybe cause of that?

    Seat repair

    I have way to much experience taking seats apart. More then I care to admit. And the pictures to go with it. But I do not have a shot from the exact angle to tell you yes or no for sure. But checking them all out in a lot of them it does look like that dent is there. I would post a picture here...

    87 Cherokee Chief 2 door Survivor like new refresh with NOS parts

    I'm pretty good but I ain't that good. Funny how the simple things but a smile on my face. For instance that NOS bumper cap with the cutouts for the tire carrier. Until now, like you, did not even know that existed.

    Coil pack vs viper coil mod

    I just use the cheap Champions. 438's if I remember correctly. Did the coil mod using a Mopar coil for the JK with the 3.6. Doubt it is your coil.

    Gas filler hose shield same on all XJ's?

    I want to say yes. In my '94 to '96 parts catalogs the part number is 55003285. It has been my experience that the letters at the end are more a year designation then a different part but......

    Rear leaf springs

    I have seen guys use threaded rod, washers and nuts to do it. Thinking they put them in the freezer first though. Retiring out of a Napa I know a lot of garages. Sure one of them has a press. And there is a couple of suspension shops in my area so figure I can get it done one way or another.

    Rear leaf springs

    It has been awhile since I ordered them, and maybe one of these years will actually get them on, but last I knew the Up Country leaf springs from Mopar were still available. Not cheap and they don't come with bushings but...... I was able to order them through my local dealership.

    Issues flushing dirty coolant

    There is this product I use for rust removal of small parts called Evapo-Rust. Stuff is awesome, can be reused to a certain extent, and says right on the container that it is safe for your eyes. Which I find funny for a product that works so well. Well they make this stuff called Thermocure for...

    AW-4 Auto Transmission direction of fluid flow

    Don't quote me on this. But I'm pretty sure that I have read that some of those diagrams are actually wrong. So I Googled it and this is the first thing that popped up. https://www.cherokeeforum.com/f2/pic-transmission-cooler-lines-diagram-chart-107766/

    1997 Fender Foam Inserts

    The smaller piece is glued to the bigger piece and if you look at the back of the fender in front of the door will see the shape of the foam letting you know where it goes. I chose to use a 3" diameter pool noodle there instead. Cut in half diameter wise and to the appropriate length. Would show...

    Front Hub Bearing - Best Manufacturer

    I retired out of a Napa and we sell the SKF's. So I would just buy those because it is easy. I was going to say if you buy from Napa by the SKF's, Line Code is BRG, but it is a shame that they are not lifetime warrantied anymore, only 3 years, and not buy the PGB or NOE line ones. But I couldn't...

    87 Cherokee Chief 2 door Survivor like new refresh with NOS parts

    I always get a kick out of all your NOS parts. Is the brass colored piece part of the set up? Cause I have never seen that piece before. If you want to get creative the rear tow hook can be modified so you can run one on the passenger side. Had my friend cut a second one I sourced, sadly used...

    Advice for replacing my fuel pump

    Near blueprint type instructions to cut the hole in the floor. The only change I would make is instead of building up around the hole to be able to screw in the panel you cut out would cut out a bigger patch panel from a boneyard Jeep. Start at Posting #27...
