just a small side note on ZJ's there were a few minor changes from model years 95 to 96. The grill is taller and has a rounded bottom in 96 and newer. The name plates on the side went from the fender to the door. I know the dash changed too but I dont know when. Quite a few electrical...

I have CAD/CAM software I work at a sheetmetal/machine shop as well. What language does your machine accept and do have a disk drive or a way to recieve a program. I may be able to supply a program. Just supply me with a good pic or even a DWG. looks like it may have been cut by laser or...

older XJ's had a small tab down close to the base you could pull out aproxx 1/4 inch or so and you could pull the arm straight off the post. I dont imagine they have changed to much.

I dont know if anybody was following this but I figured I would post my results and inform anybody else that looks into this in the future just how simple of a repair this actually turned out to be. First smart thing I did was to purchase a book specically on my transmission. Automatic...

The electronic transmissions have a few sensors that are common to go out. When they do go out the transmission usually goes into a limp mode where it is stuck in 3rd gear. Some times they will go into lower gears if you manually select them. This is a problem I have with my 94zj now. put...

The push nuts they refer to is just thin sheetmetal washers. They kinda resemble a lockwasher and they are just pushed onto the wheel studs to hold the rotor on. Usually a set a needlenose pliers works well to get them off. Examine your wheel studs for these also brake dust buildup may be...

I am not sure about the fog light wiring but I routed the wiring to my roof racks lights on my XJ but drilling small hole in the door post in between the front and rear doors just under the rain gutter. Panel there was more easy to remove than the headliner to hide wires. I dont know about the...

Rocker gaurds I wish I had that much freetime.

well disregard the last post I got the book today and I will test it Friday evening.

While I am waiting for the book to arrive I am trying to test the governor pressure solenoid in this thing. I converted an old R12 AC pressure guage to do the job of seeing if the pressure to the governor pressure port is higher than 3 PSI at idle in drive. To my surprise there are three...

Joined April 15 04' I was given a 84 cherokee from a coworker who thought motor was blown 2 years ago. A flexplate and two grand cherokee's later I can safely say I am hooked. I once thought that cherokees were glorified station wagons untill I slapped the old cherokee in 4L and saw what it...

I can't wait... As I understand 31's will fit under a stock height grand cherokee so with a spacer no problem. I have seen one with 32's with a budget lift with some rubbing of course. The rim backspacing has a lot to do with it. If you leave the stock coil isolators on you will get the...

The two inch budget lift is great for those who want a little more hieght without breaking to deep in the wallet. I have two ZJ's one for me and one for my wife. After I lifted mine with a front to rear coil swap my wife decided she wanted hers lifted. I know she will never need the lift so...

Not to take away from tug-n-pull's idea but I used manual choke cable's to engage axle and transfercase in early selec-trac cherokee's. A late model cherokee roof rack cross rail cut down to fit a GC roof rack make's a good light bar. Roll cages and tube bumpers with ends welded make great on...

oringinal canvas cj doors for sale My rear leafs did not sag untill I lifted the rear with a skyjacker add a leaf kit. They worked fine untill I lifted it. I should have just replaced the entire leafs. It is quite common for the leafs to start sagging. I really depends on how you use your...

My brother had the same problem. They would not rent it to a half ton truck. In order to rent a dolly you had to have a 3/4 ton vehicle. Even though his half ton truck was built up better than a 3/4 ton. He had to return with a 3/4 ton pickup to rent the dolly. He has learned to tell them...

I recieved my cherokee used with 235's on it worked fine no problems. In fact I left them on when I lifted it. Since they are skinnier than 31's they worked great in snow.

Avoid years 84 through 86 with the V6 motors. They are way to sluggish for seroius offroad use. Some guys make half doors for their XJ's. I had put a sunroof in mine that was completly removeable. You can still get that open air feeling if your willing too modify it a little. Now that I...

Look in the manual for the resistance values for the primary and secondary coils inside the coil itself. This should tell you if your coil is bad. If your not confindent with this autozone will check some for free. Did you try pulling your codes? I recommend you start simple work your way to...

I so wish is was a simple electrical problem. I read a post on another forum where it was just a fuse. I ran downstairs to my jeep and checked it but to my digust it was not it. I finally found information late last night on how to pull the trouble codes on the TCM. It only had 55 which is...
