Might want to talk to you about that 66k mile tranny/transfer case. I'm in Mesa, the ole pig with 214k miles tranny is starting to go out. I'm retarded when it comes to what fits what years, is this a bolt up and go? i.e. electrical harness and all that jazz? James

Aww man, I'm on the low end of the scale. JUST turned over 200,000 in my '97. It's my daily but spends most of its' time at the Airport parking lot. WOOHOO. James

Man, yesterday was the greatest. Finally broke down and took a look at the catalytic converter on the Jeep. Been running like dog shit lately, wouldn't go over 4000rpm, no power at all, just shit. Cut into it, couldn't reuse the stock muffler due to the metal being compressed, not being able to...

Well I don't think I have any leaks but I'm gonna keep an eye on it. I did this because I've got severe miss starting at around 4100rpm...engine will not go to redline, shifts at about 4300rpm. I figured it was starving for fuel. Spark should be good, just replaced cap/rotor and plugs. Wires...

Well that was fast. Nothing like a little bit of adrenaline, disregard for oneself, for ones Jeep or anything in the surrounding area. Broke one hammer, threw it across garage. Grabbed another, small piece of wood hitting it as hard as I could. Didn't care if I broke it or not. Stupid thing...

So I researched on how to do it, there's a great write up here and all, dropped the tank and can not get that stupid freaking jerk off 0-ring/whatever the hell you want to call it locking piece of garbage off. Tried tapping with screwdriver. Nope. Tried using a strap, sandpaper in between it...

You could ask this same question on ALL forums and get the same responses. In a bind, it's easier to ask. I just find it funny that instead of helping someone, people respond with "SEARCH". Hey buddy if you know the answer post, if you don't piss off! It requires the same amount of time to...

Not a 2 door, not green but before and after pics: James

Glad this was posted. Mine leaks ever so slightly at the fitting on the Radiator/Trans cooler connector. Instead of taking it in/replacing feet of hard lines, I'm gonna get some hose rated for oil and do it that way. AWESOME! James

Whoa. I honestly did not think about that, it very well could be! I should have left if jacked up to see if it slowed, or emptied all the way out. I'll have to check next weekend, thanks for the thought. Hell, I might just dive in and replace them anyways, 197,000+ miles, might be due. Thanks...

I did ball joints and unit bearing on the passenger side yesterday, planned on doing driver side today. Well, jack up driver side, woohoo, leaking like mad on the passenger side (the side i tore apart yesterday). I took it so easy putting the axle shaft back in but something obviously isn't...

I picked mine up with 150k miles for $3100 a few years ago if that helps. '97 XJ. Still runs great, approaching 190k miles. James

I got a fever! (greatest actor of all time IMO). James

I just don't know what the hell I'm gonna do. Part of me says just get some pre-fabbed ones and install 'em. The rest of me is too busy having a conversation with itself, it doesn't know what day it is. Eventually I'll get SOMETHING, hopefully at least. James

Actually I did answer his question with what I thought was correct, and I believe it is. You may have stopped reading after the first sentence. BTW, I regged BEFORE you, just because I don't post whore makes me no noob. There is life away from the computer. It's ok, close the lid, it will turn...
