I'm reading heater core bad or clogged and/or the HVAC hot and cool doors may not be opening all the way. ugh...

won't be a ton of wheeling and when I go it'll be clear cut/logging roads. no real crawling on the family property.

put about 60 miles on it this weekend, nice ride on the long arm. had it up...

Thanks everyone! I'm proud of it and I don't even have it in the driveway yet. I've never had a Jeep above 4" of lift, so I'm hoping to still have the dependability and logevity that I have loved...

Thanks!! And thanks for the info on the tires. Because I am going to be driving it, I was hesitant and almost swapped out for some BFG ATs. Decided I didn't want to mess with the look.

Utilitarian Jeep... short daily commute, camp rig, mild off-roading (logging roads, no crawling), kayaking, camping.... on and on

I had figured on that... common practice with these. It'll take me a little bit with the purchase price. it's a semi resto/mod from a local shop. lots of work put into it. I'll post some pics...

huh... see what I get too learn on :xjtalk:

I had never been told that. I'm hoping to stay in the 16-18mpg range with it. that's what I was getting with the 92 and can't afford to go much worse...

gotcha... is a lower temp thermostat worth while then? I've ran a 160 degree on my '92 for years now...

The fans appear to be completely functional, I did hear the clutch(es) kicking in and out. The shrouds are missing though... may have to go junkyard diving for those.

Yes, I'm sorry. I have it ingrained in my mind that there is no other engine in an XJ hahaha....

Hey all... I am jumping from my very tired '92 to a '98, 2 door, 5 speed in a few days. it has a 6.5" long arm (Iron Rock), 33 Maxis Bighorns, 4.10 gears, HD track bar and steering, SYE of course......

Thanks... I hate chasing electrical issues. Found it odd I couldn't get it to come on for the life of me but as soon as it was hooked up to be jumped, whalah... it works

I'm chasing the issue with the heater blower. The battery was 7 years old, in PA cold winters that's about 45 dog years. I don't feel that the blower not working would be drawing on the battery

Hey guys!! Quick question to all the XJTalk pros... a few weeks back my heater blower stopped working. I took the climate control out, the notorious switch connector was a little toasty, so I...

JCR claims to have a solution for the roll that you are mentioning...

Thanks for the suggestion. In quickly doing so, it seems to make the same noise only shorter on the acceleration side before letting off as well.

It's certainly not a component i.e. water pump,...

Hello - 92, 4.0, 4" lift, aw4, np231

I have a really odd grinding/metallic vibration when I "blip" the gas peddle and let off abruptly. It doesn't matter whether in driving or sitting in Park. ...

Just to follow up quickly so that anyone with a similar problem can have my experience to help when looking for a resolution.

*despite the rear ds u-joint feeling tight it ended up being shot...

scratch that... going with Goodyear All-Terrain Adventures with Kevlar. Found a killer sale at a local shop. okay... quiet time now.

I don't feel that the cupping is going to resolve itself and from what I have been reading... I don't see where anyone else has had much luck in it either. So... off to have some BFG Rugged Terrains...

Thanks again, I may run it a while with the current setup before I snag the coils then if they are known to be a bit stiff as well. Because I am satisfied with the ride today. Which, isn't saying...

Hey man! Happy to be here for sure.

The Bilsteins certainly helped, once the tire cupping smooths out I should be set there. Next I'm ditching the rough ride rough country coils for some 3.5-4"...

well, I can't say that I found a solution. Went home last night where the XJ had been up on stands for the past couple of days. Disconnected the driveshaft and rolled the tires. No sound at all,...

Thanks bud!! I will give this a shot tonight! If it is the rear u-joint it's going back to Monroe for warranty work. I had it replaced there this last summer because I didn't have the means to do...

no worries, that's what we are all here for is to get each other's opinions. However, I'm 110% sure it's not the brakes. I pulled both drums last night and thoroughly inspected both sides. Also,...
