Ok so I'm actually considering performing a swap to convert my XJ to a diesel..IF I can find the engine…therein lies the problem. So my question is does anyone have or know where I can find either a Mercedes OM 617 3.0L Turbo diesel or a VM Motori 425 2.5L turbo diesel? I've spent the last...

Ok so my stock plastic 4 liter valve cover is warped..imagine that lol does anyone know where I can find a steel valve cover? Or is aluminum my only option besides the stock plastic?

So my Jeep has begin idling very low, like 400-500 rpm's and it spits and sputters when I press the throttle. Anything under about 1500 rpm's and it starts to miss and stutter. It doesn't feel like a spark miss but more like a fuel problem like she's starving. I replaced the fuel filter and fuel...

Ok so my girls LJ still has an unexplained death wobble. We have now talked to rough country and gotten better specs for the 4 inch lift alignment and had it realigned with no luck. We took it to an old school alignment shop today where the guy does everything by hand and he said he could not...

A friend of mine has a 1998 XJ 4.0 2wd that he's asked me to work on. It was throwing a code for the camshaft position sensor but funny enough my haynes manual doesn't list an official "CPS" so to speak for anything older then a 2000. Is the cam sensor on the older XJ's that metal ring under the...

Hey guys, My girlfriend has an 05' L J, 4 liter, 6 speed, 4x4 We recently installed a Rough Country 4inch short arm lift and it went on fine but now she has a death wobble at about 60 mph. She had an alignment done and they said it was very badly pigeon toed lol got 4 new 33x12.50's Goodyear...

Ok everybody so im finally back. My 4x2 to 4x4 swap is complete and works perfect. Unfortunately I lost the phone that had all the build pics on it so all I can show you is the end result. As far as projects like this go it was very easy(as easy as it COULD be anyway). All of my pedal mounts...

So I just got my donor XJ yesterday, an 87' 4x4, I6, with the 5 speed transmission, the conversion starts next week pic 1- getting pulled home by a friend. pic 2- 87 XJ outside pic 3- the engine, it was fried when the cracked header caught the fuel on fire and burned all the vacuum lines. pic...

Im trying to fit a couple 31x10.50's on the back of my 88 XJ. I installed a 2'' block lift so they would clear but now my sway bar link instead of sitting down inside the rim is sitting up beside the tire, and of course the 31's are so wide they'll rub on the link. Will it be ok to remove the...

Just purchased these new E3 spark plugs for my 88' XJ 4L I6, I originally ran Bosch platinum +4's and they did great but recently switched to Champion double platinum's because everyone was telling me they would do great since they're the OEM for older Jeeps. Needless to say I was not impressed...

So I had this constant grinding and popping noise in my front end a few weeks ago, it finally got so bad that driving home from work one night it was actually pulling my steering wheel to the left. I figured it was the wheel bearing so the next morning I took the tire off, tried to turn the hub...

Ok so my 88' Cherokee 4 liter is giving me problems, when the engine is cold it will idle very low and stall out then once the engine gets up to operating temp it begins to idle very high and just keep getting higher and higher. I replaced the TPS sensor, the IAC sensor, cleaned the gunk off the...

So a buddy of mine has an 87' XJ 4x4 with the 5 speed trans, im probably going to buy it from him to convert mine to 4x4, but I need your opinions, should I stick with my AW4 or should I go for the 5 speed in the donor XJ? What's better for offroad use in your opinion? Keep in mind i'm not...

Ok so I was out on a trail the other day and hit a hole pretty hard, she rolled fine for the rest of the trail but when I go back out on the highway she started like hell at about 40mph. Me and a buddy took the dust caps off the front hubs and the bolts on both sides were loose, so we tightened...

Ok guys a buddy told me the other day as I left his house that my brake lights aren't working, sure enough, tail lights, turn signals, hazards, all working, but no brake lights. I checked all my fuses and they're all good, is there a brake light relay or something or could it be the sensor on...

Just had to post this link to Jeepz here. These are pics from the muddi gras mud fest in February 2009 in Kenansville, Florida. Lots of Jeeps but out of 43 pages of pics only 1 XJ (page 21), funny though, he's the only one that can go through it all without tractor tires!; ) Muddi Gras Feb...

Just a question here yall but has anybody ever seen a black plastic rubber boot that fits over your distributor cap to keep water out? I've heard about them before but none of my local parts stores have any idea what im looking for. And if this part is a dead end then does anybody have any good...

Looking for an 87-90 XJ. I own an 88' that's 2 wheel drive so i'm looking for a donor to salvage the 4x4 components, maybe something that has been wrecked or something of that sort. And I live in Sebring, Florida.

This is one of those really non-important threads, just something funny to talk about lol So today I was drivin around on the trails near my house, when I saw a 70's model CJ driving in my direction down the same narrow trail I was on. When we got near each other I pulled off to the side of the...
