Hi Ingy96, :welcome: to the :xjtalk: forum!

We would love to know more about you and your Jeep. How you found us, etc...

Be sure and check out our XJ TALK SHOW! (http://podcasts.xjtalk.com) It\'s about Cherokees! It\'s like a radio talk show, but from the Internet.

Check out our sister sites, http://www.WranglerTalk.com/ and http://www.di-dah-dit.com/

Thanks for the welcome. I have a black 96 XJ that has alot of work that needs to be done: suspension is pretty well shot, big rust spot above the muffler, and a bit of a knock in the lower part of the engine - crank area. I bought her a couple of years ago and have been saving money and doing research on here and other sites to get ideas on turning her into what I want in a vehicle. I'm really not into wheeling, but you never know what life is going to throw your way so I do want a capable, versatile vehicle. I finally have the money saved and am ready to start transforming her into what I want. She has a salvage title so I know that I will never be able to sell her for anything. I'm cool with that. I'll be the last owner she has. While doing the research, I noticed that xjtalk clearly has a unique feel compared to the other websites. That "feel" is why I want to join you guys. Thank you for the help that you have already given me - hopefully I'll be able to give it back.

I didn't check (or read) that you have an auto trans, but what sounds like a low end knock is often lose torque converter bolts. You might want to check them if you haven't already done so.

I is an auto and I never thought of the torque converter. Thanks!
