    What is this component?

    Okay so this is gonna sound really dumb but I guess I can't search for something if I don't know what it is. As you can see from the pic I have quite a leak on the 2000 XJ. I gather that the small component on the left is the oil pressure switch but what is the larger one on the right? In...

    workspace/garage rental?

    Hello all, So I live in San Fransisco and as you can probably imagine space is at a premium. If you're in the area do you know of any garage or workspace rental places that would allow a vehicle and welder to be next to each other? I can mostly just find 'fine art' spaces to rent. I...

    "skool me" on track bars

    So I've been reading up on track bars and am wondering why so many of the aftermarket ones fail, also what are the weak links in them, and what actually happens when they fail .... lets say ... on the highway? Now I know RockKrawler seems to get a lot of flack (a few years ago) but I'm...

    Rear rattling noise tracked down.... random question

    So I probably won't get any response from this but thought I'd post. For the people that have replaced the rear bumper in their 2000 cherokee you might have an answer for me. For the longest time I've had this dull knocking sound from the rear. Tracked it down last night to something I...

    T-case 242J help

    Hello, So I recently got a new t-case and feel like messing around with the old one. I can't get the damn thing open for the life of me. Here's basically what's been done: Unbolted the front Unbolted the Slip-yoke which seems to be fused to the case Removed the rear (transmission...

    Bottom hex bolt on 231j t-case

    Been a while since I posted. I recently got a new 231j t-case and am seeing a leak near the bottom. I've searched the web high and low as to what this "Bolt" is and have gotten no where. I must either be blind or the exploded diagrams just don't show this part. Could someone tell me what...

    Getting new bumpers

    Anyone bought from JCR offroad (http://www.jcroffroad.com/) The bumpers are exactly what I'm looking for at the perfect price, just wondering how they hold up and if they install easily. Maybe, more importantly, have they held up under difficult situations? Also, since they don't do finishing...

    Terraflex rear shackles .....

    Hey guys, So for a while I've had a knocking noise coming from the rear passenger side and I've finally narrowed it down to the terraflex shackle. It's pretty new, i'd say about 8months or so, and well greased up. Are these known to be loud? Any quick cure for this? Technically, does anyone...

    Stupid CA emissions standards :-)

    So i've gotta go in for my smog check (good 'ol CA.... just gotta love it) and am wondering if the aftermarket XJ catalytic converters hold up past 2 years? If so, what brand is the best. The reason why I ask is because a good friend of mine failed smog check 2years ago and opted to get the...

    Rear-end growling noise

    Hello jeep gods, Hoping that this rings a bell to someone. I have a 2000XJ with a RE 3.5" lift (came out slightly more), did the lift about 6 months ago. Recently I've noticed a "Growling" noise when decelerating at highway speeds and I can continue to make it growl if i don't fully take...

    What is this module?

    After snooping around under my front bumper I'm curious as to what the cylinder-like module is in the pic next to the vacuum bottle? I'm removing the quarter guards for clearance and just want to know what this is and if it's related to the air bag? Does anyone know what kind of air bag sensor...

    XJ Bumper

    Searched around a bit and didn't find a whole lot on this. Currently I've got the stock front bumper and am looking at something just a bit better :-) I'd like it to be winch capable with the ability to add a stinger-style setup at a later date. Any recommendations? Any companies to stay...

    On board air

    Hey guys, So I'm looking into getting an on-board air setup and am wondering what others are running? I'm probably asking too much but ultimately I'd like to get a setup that can be used for: - Tires - Locker(s) - Air Tools (would be nice to have a portable one for a number of cases) -...

    Roll Cages

    So I've been looking around at roll cages and am wondering if anyone on this forum currently has one in their XJ? In comparing rally car type roll cages to off-road cages I have a few questions if someone would like to give their opinion on it. 1.) It seems like the majority, if not all, of...

    popping noise

    Hey all, A while back I asked this question is a longer thread but thought I'd start a new one specific to this (rather than the list of issues I had before). Here's the issue. After the engine is warm and I come to a sudden stop (normal braking) I hear a popping/cracking/bubbling noise...

    Transmission thump at 50-60

    So, ever since I pulled a u-haul across the country in Drive (the strange 3-4 combo) I've had this odd feeling with the transmission when it's trying to decide whether or not to shift from 3-to-Drive (or visa-versa i should say). Basically, when going up hill around 55 it decides to downshift...

    sway bar

    So I recently got a RE3.5 lift and the upper sway bar end link rubs the drag-link outer bracket (it has the v-shaped bend) when the suspension is fully compressed. It's not a huge deal since the bracket is angled and the end bolt on the upper link is rounded (they slide pretty well) but it's a...

    YellowTop or RedTop ....

    Hello all, So my battery is at its end and I'm looking at the OPTIMA line. Anyone have experience with these? At the moment I don't have any crazy accessories on the rig but plan to be adding a few (winch, light-bar, etc ...). I'm thinking of going with the Deep cycle YellowTop D34 ...
