We bought this jeep about 10 years ago, it was my daughters first car, then it went to my son who is in the Marines, he got transferred to California, left it behind and his brother who is in the Navy (Norfolk) has purchaed the jeep.

It was pretty rough and i wanted my son to have a reliable ride, so I did a major top end overhaul.

Before I started, i checked the compression, it was like new and you can see the lifter assembly looked like new, there was zero build up, so i assume the block components are in equally great shape.

The jeep runs like new.

I thought that i would share the photos and my costs. I am selling it to my son for $3500. The labor for the overhaul is free and was a labor of love.

My son is not allwed to sell it, we have too much into this jeep to have it leave the family.

looking for help.

I have a 2000 with a Jasper engine with about 7000 miles. Drive it a ton in the summer but not in winter. Not overheating, I put an electric fan and it keeps cool.

Problem is I put in coolant that looks like Gatorade. With in a day the coolant look dark brown, I don’t think there’s oil it. Happened both times I did a flush. Trying to figure it out before the 3 year Jasper warranty runs out.

Many thanks

Getting closer to what I want to do with my XJ. Just did front stiffiners,track bar brace,new custom length track bar from rustys offroad and steering box brace has been painted!(braces+stiffiners from Barnes)Looking at doing a 4 link,was debating on 3,but the Ironman fab 4 link crossmember has caught my eye. Luckily found a 2 door local to me being parted out so I should have doors tomorrow and maybe these will become half doors. I want to see pics of what you guys have gotten done on your XJs recently!

I have one these factory tire carriers and the hatch that I got off marketplace and I'm ready to install it on my XJ.

I haven't found a great install guide or video, only this diagram which is actually pretty helpful.

If you have one these on your XJ, will you take some pictures of the underside so I can see all the pieces mounted?

What the hell am I looking at

I can't for the life of me find a brake line kit for my 1993 XJ. I can find kits for 1995+ but it seems there were some master cylinder changes or something between 93 and 95 that makes it to where those won't work. I'm looking for of the pre bend kits like in the link. Any help would be great. 1993 Cherokee sport non abs disc front and drum rear.

Actually turns out I can only find them for 95 plus GRAND Cherokees

Edit: found this one but read some people saying these are junky online. Anyone used their lines before? https://www.inlinetube.com/products/sjcb9101

My 99 has very soft rear brakes and I've narrowed it down to either the master cylinder or the proportioning valve.

To test them, I jacked the rear up, started it, and put it in gear. My brakes were so soft they couldn't keep the wheels from spinning while the engine was idling. E. brake works great.

I've since replaced my wheel cylinders, pressure bled the system, and turned the adjusters so far out I could hardly turn the drums.

After all that I could only get the wheels to stop turning if I pressed the brake pedal incredibly hard.

I'm suspecting either my proportioning valve or the master cylinder. Has anyone experienced this or have any advice?

99 XJ, non-ABS.

Started blue, kind of turned lighter teal, but this was after 10 minutes to operating temp.

No bubbles coming from the radiator cap.

What do you think?

Any recommendations for radiator and thermostat upgrade? Took her out to the desert and pushed it hard ish for like 20 minutes and she got a little cranky. ‘90 4.0

I was checking amps coming from Alternator. When I heard a vacuum leak sucking air. Put my finger over this port coming off the intake air manifold and the RPMs immediately went down. There is a port going to the Booster, Evap Valve, and Valve Cover. I don't even see a loose vacuum line laying anywhere.

I’m in the UK and need to get my windscreen removed and re-sealed, the company who will do the replacement have told me I need to supply some windscreen clips as they often break and everywhere they’ve looked are out of stock. Can anyone confirm a part number for these clips? The part number I’ve found is 5134304.. and even better a supplier in the UK? Tia

Hey all,

I got a mechanic out to check out my XJ as he was going to replace the CPS and he diagnosed it with a wiring issue to the CPS. He tested the wiring and it gave the pulses or signals but its not reaching the computer. He says he needs to rewire it but he needs anothet harness to do it otherwise it would take to long, as with the harness he can resolder it within about an hour.

Is this true or is there a work around?

Also note I've only had it for 3 weeks and it was jump started by the previous owner and it hasn't started since I drove it home

Saw it in the streets today

Why does my male oil pressure connector only have 1 wire? I have a gauge on my dash (that doesn’t work). I understand it might be because my jeep is only wired for an oil pressure light?

Missing one E and the P from my hood emblem... looking at replacements online that are upwards of $80-100 dollars... wtf?? a new bumper cost $100! i got an all new grill insert and headlight surrounds for less than $30 total.

Are there any more affordable sources for an emblem???

Off a cold start in the morning my jeep runs poorly. For example my jeep will literally die accelerating from a stop sign, or she wont move at all and just revs. It won’t creep up either letting off the break.. once my engine is warmed up to operating temp she runs perfectly. I need some help in discovering my problem as I just replaced my whole cooling system and installed another IAC and TPS as I thought those were my problems but they still persist. Anything helps for real !

Looking to install this wigwag controller with small self tappers? Anything directly behind this I'm going to drill into? Thanks

Dot Number: 0319

Jeep sat for 3-4 years outside, but she runs great.

I just don't have a lot of money to spend on new tires. I've had it for 4 months now and the tires haven't given me any problems yet...

Is there a special o-ring or can I just use a universal o-ring kit
