I'm reassembling a '99 4.0 and the fuel rail o-rings are fighting me more than usual. I've done this before, but never on this particular Jeep. Rail isn't pristine, but not bad either. Surfaces are clean and dry.

I know these can be a little tough to get the o-rings to seat on the rail, but this one just isn't wanting to press on at all. I've never had to use any lubricant before, but might have to for these. What o-ring lube would be ok for a fuel rail? Plain ol' vaseline?

Don’t really know how I feel about them but I was going for more of a pre runner style blinker setup.

Leaks about 1 gallon of oil per month of regular driving.
Cabin fills with smoke when windows are rolled down.
Headliner is delaminated and falling down.
Interior drivers door handle is broken and the door panel is removed.
Manual transmission.
4.0L inline 6.
Drove to this spot under own power and has been parked for 3 years.
Leaf springs need replacing, parts are already purchased but within return window.
Wrecker offered 300$ cash to pick up and take the vehicle away.

Should this be repaired?
Should this be scrapped?
Should this be kept for parts?

I recently replaced the transmission on my 01 XJ with a used unit from a parts jeep. The replacement was in good working order when my son wrecked it 2 years ago. The install when smooth with little hang ups. Once i got it out on the road i noticed that it would not shift into OD. I was going 65 at 2500 rpm's. As soon as I started doing research it went away and shift smoothly. This morning I noticed that it was happening again. It rows thru all the gears but won't shift into OD. Fuild levels are where they should be. Any ideas?

I'm trying to find a factory rear driveshaft for my 98 4door 4.0 with the Chrysler 8.25 and ax15 manual shift... Mine evacuated it's self going down the highway...thanks

Can someone please tell me why me and everyone else in the local clubs getting outwheeled by this bone stock mb willys. They have no lockers, not a lot of suspension travel and no power. Does having skinny tyres really help that much?

I have a 2000 jeep Cherokee and the speedometer and RPM gauge, will go flat and then work again randomly while driving. As well as the airbag light comes on, check engine light, turn signals won’t work, door locks non stop, then it seems the fix it self for several minutes. Anyone have any ideas of what could be the problem? TIA

1999 Jeep Cherokee Sport. My fuel gauge started acting up. It now fluctuates on its own. Goes down then goes up. What could be the reason?

Anyone got a good part number? I have to take my dash apart soon to replace my MIL bulb (again, I'm not happy, last one lasted less than a week) and I noticed this morning that the rear wiper switch bulb is burned out as well. I have searched and I have seen people asking about it but not found a bulb number I can buy. Any help? Bonus points if I can get it in LED. Slowly but surely I'm LED-izing this one although I am trying to stick with 2700-3000k for ones that show white so they don't look too out of place.

Holy smokes maybe I was using the stock gears on a 4.5 lift with 33’s and a whole bunch of stuff but damn I switched to 4.56 yukon. Lord I am not used to this speed anybody else find it extremely noticeable😂

The speaker in my driver door was dead so I went to replace it only to find out no speaker works there. Anything common to look for first? TIA

Lookout wifey >.>

When I go to start my xj in the mornings, it’ll turn over, n like kinda startish? Ultimately I have to turn the key a second time and it’s starts right up! Doesn’t happen all the time, maybe once a week or so I’m noticing.

Second thing, the engine randomly turned off while driving, no warning lights, no sounds, nothing. I rolled to the side of the road, started it back up no problem. That was two days ago….. it’s been running fine since?

Extra info: I put in a new thermostat 3 days ago because the engine was running cool. (it didn’t have one in it?).

I changed the high pressure power steering line about a week ago (it was punctured and causing smoke when making hard turns)

Does anybody have any recommendations for combating heat soak?

Looking at trading my 09 yamaha fz6r for this 85 cherokee. Has the 2.8 but only 80k miles. Want to do a camping off road rig build and wranglers dont do it for me. Thoughts?

The suspension on this jeep is completely toasted, Im not very experienced with cars and was wondering if anyone could tell me what suspension part to start with either that or a good front and rear end kit.

270k miles 92 jeep cherokee larado

Aright yall its me again. Its 3 am and I haven't fallen asleep yet so let's do this. Picture this. Your a 20 year old kid who's just got an xj to wheel with your old man's jeep club and his jk. But alas. He has money for facy stuff like g2 axles and lockers and 37s... and armor... and a sound system... and a truck to tow his rig... BUT WHO NEEDS THAT SHIT THIS IS AN XJ BABYYYYY. anyways back to the topic at hand. Since this is an xj I wanna imbrace its jerry rigged fuck job nature buy using cheap parts that low key work. Basically I want a kit kit suspension job that makes a rock country kit look like a king suspension kit. I was thinking about jk spring since my father has no use for his and stealing his f250s old stock springs. He has a fox leveling kit that cost more than my xj so he ain't using them anymore. But are their other more betterer options?

Hey! Just looking for some advice. XJ has been doing very well for a few years now but recently the oil is leaking quite consistently and leaving small puddles everywhere even after parking for 10 mins. It’s noticeable and I just want to know what are the first few things I should check?

I’m a bit of a novice so just looking where to start!

So I want to get a set of 33s and mount em to some pos 15x8 steelies I stole of my buddies car last night while I was digging through his dumpster looking for a cheeseburger... Anyways my bitchin rig will be running mainly in the maine mountains but ill occasionally get thirsty and want to go splash in the mud. But because I'm autistic I am deep diving into what would be a better setup. Anyways what width would yall reccomend and if possible what tyre would you recommend (this thing will not be on the road very often so fuck stuff like wind noise and ride quality
