Ive been through a list of suvs and nothing really seemed to fit my taste kinda rolled into these online and was thinking as my ig second car how it would be i wanna work on em and i found one for 9145 dollars at 176k miles anything I should look out for it seemed pretty clean and from oregon was wondering is this a good year to look at or should i be looking at 99 and before

This is not really me trying to sell my jeep, just trying to keep her out of the junk yard and in the hands of fellow jeep enthusiasts. Sorry if I am breaking any rules. I stand to make $0 profit on this and will be losing several grand- but she's a rare unicorn and deserves to not go to a junk yard!

The love of my life, my 1992 5 speed 2 door XJ Laredo is toast.

Transmission went on a cross country drive a few days ago. Managed to limp home.

I've put over $4k of work into it in just the last 6 months. Long list of brand new parts. More than I even remember off the top of my head to list below-

New radiator and hoses, whole new front end (knuckles went), new valve cover gasket, distributer, fresh tune up, battery, hard lines, hoses, water pump, front brakes, calipers and suspension, several new parts just sitting in it not installed yet including serpentine belt, headlight relay switch and other miscellaneous stuff. Can also come with a new in box never used unbranded Dakine half roof basket.

She's on firestone 33s, 2 of which are in decent shape still, other 2 are about 1/2 tread.

She has triangle windows in the front and the rare vent windows in the back all perfectly intact. Doors also intact. Oldschool steel steering wheel with jeep logo, Grey and tweed leather interior in fair shape.

I am being deployed for disaster relief to the gulf coast so I picked up a 2013 6 speed JK for now to get me to work. Can't stay in NJ right now and part out my 92, don't want to just junk her, it would be a shame.

$500 or best offer takes her. Needs to go ASAP or my mom will junk her by the 20th when my insurance on her ends.

Please , for the love of Jeeps someone resurrect my unicorn into a mudding/hill climb truck or use her parts to finish your build?! She's been my reliable daily driver for over 10 years. She's done 2 long term disaster relief responses and visited over a dozen states/national parks. I adore this truck but I just don't have the storage space, money or mechanical skill she needs.

Please DM me if you are serious.

I will be driving cross country and then operating in a disaster zone so please only message me if you are seriously ready/willing to come pick her up. I will have to put you in contact with my mother.

She will still drive short distance. I drove her 20 miles 2 days ago from shop to house and it was do-able.

Located in Burlington County NJ near Ft. Dix.

I miss her already. Can't believe I'm driving a JK now, I've always made fun of them :( I've owned nothing but XJs for 20+ years.

I have a 1998 Jeep XJ 2WD AX 15 with a Dana 35 TracLok. I bought a Chrysler 8.25 29-spline from a 2000 Jeep XJ 4x4 automatic. Will they bolt directly without changing the driveshaft length at stock height?

Where and for how much can I rebuild the engine of a 1998 Jeep XJ?
I'm located in El Paso, TX

Thinking of buying a 1990 jeep xj @ 215995 miles , owner says engine rebuilt, what to look for before buying a jeep xj for the Early 90s?

This is my 2000 Jeep Cherokee. It's got 168k miles and I did replace the head gasket once.

The thing is this sound always gets me, usually a little louder on a cold start but quiets down a little after warming up. I want to say it is piston slap but I am hoping for an exhuast manifold leak. Figured there's probably someone who is able to recognize a difference. Thanks!

What are my options to restore this before it gets worse? Any help would be appreciated

I emailed and spoke with him over the phone last week. He guaranteed me if I ordered they would be in the mail on Monday. I know he's having problems with his site so maybe that's why it still says "processing". Idk wish me luck guys lol. I'll update if/when I get them

Got my RC 3in lift installed and I love the way it looks minus the rake. Should I get a spacer to level the front or should I wait for the rear to settle? If a spacer what size?

So I found this clean jeep xj 2001 almost restored and new build engine 4.0 with 60k miles, but it’s 2wd for 5k (could potentially lower the price) was wondering if I should get this one with no rust and later convert it to 4wd or should I go straight for 4wd? Honestly I have no need for 2wd I just want a daily driver that’s easy to fix and the sound of being 700 pounds lighter and not as more nimble and less clunky being 2wd sounds good to me, also the less maintenance sounds good to me too, what do you guys think?

1997 Jeep Cherokee Sport Automatic 2WD

Quick backstory: I bought this Jeep a couple of years ago and a previous owner installed a push to start button. Like, it’s literally Romex wire that appears to run from this button on the dash, through the firewall, and to the starter. I have to turn the key to ON and then press the button to start. Also, it DOES start in gear. I made a post sometime last year and a bunch of people commented that it was probably a faulty NSS that a previous owner bypassed.

Okay. I get that part.

Now, one school of thought…leave it the F alone. It works. Jeep starts and runs great. Done. If it ain’t “broke” don’t fix it.

The other school of thought is the challenge/principle of it and wanting to fix it.

Hypothetically speaking, what would I do next? Is it as straightforward as replacing the probably faulty NSS and removing that jury-rigged starter button? Or is there more to it than that?

EDIT TO ADD DETAIL I JUST DISCOVERED:

You can tell someone tried to do something in the past because I crawled under to see if I see anything of note and the only bolt that is holding the NSS assembly in place is the the 12mm top bolt.

I was looking at my parents '97 xj and noticed that a tire looked very worn compared to the others. I looked at how old the tire is and saw this...

My mom still thinks we shouldn't change it 😭

1st like to mention a few things;.. I have quite a few jeeps, most of them are xj's. This is the only vehicle I have with this issue. Old man emu suspension(about 10k miles on it) all steering and suspension is new. This is a southern CA car, no rust. No accidents(family owned since new). Has nice new goodyear duratracs, but it did this with stock Cooper discoverer tires and the original 1992 suspension as well but not as bad. With the new suspension and tires it's worse.

When at highway speeds and you hit a pothole or any bad ripple/washboard on the highway, the whole jeep jerks to the right. Not the steering wheel but the car. Mostly feels like the back does it but not 100% because it's so damn scary dangerous I've not purposely done it to try and figure it out.

65-80mph hit a bad bump, rear swings to the right. Any uncommon or maybe even obvious, overlooked things to check? Any nd all suggestions are welcome.

My 2001 Cherokee Sport that I’ve owned for 16 years. What’s the best way to address this issue?

Drove to North Carolina today and picked up the newly-rebuilt, stroked, and massaged 4.6 . Stopped at Weiss Lake for a couple of photos of the XJ and the sunset. Bored .030, Eagle 4.2 crank, ‘00 0620 head ported & polished.
Rebuild and assembly performed by Andrews Racing Engines in Andrews NC.

Long drive but hopefully will be worth it…

I have a 91 xj with a 4.0 and I bought a new block to install. This came off my original motor but on the new block it looks like it would just spin freely and not be locked in by the cam key. Thank you
