Maybe some other time. And i still need to get a $30some air filter for my cowl mod *facedesk*

 

If you haven't installed it, I would just wash it out with the water hose and let it dry. Then splash some gas in it. That's how we've always did it, but there might be a better way to do it for all I know. But I don't even know how the filler neck comes off.. never cleaned the tank on an xj. You'd need to get the neck off at least to the prefilter screen if it has one.

 

Hey I couldn't figure out the new thread deal...but here goes. Having some little leak on the clutch Master cylinder ( 87 cherokee )And my mechanic guy ( I no longer crawl under cars..mostly cuz all we have is dirt) Said he couldn't fix it as it was some weird master cylinder...Napco /japan...said we would have to replace the whole system cuz he couldn't find any replacement parts that would match up. Any body know about this part and or replacement or even rebuild kit? I'm off to search for this part. Really don't want to redo the whole system...this is a thrashed ranch vehicle...if somethings stuck...get the jeep...not the Dodge not the Ranger not the tractor..LOL

 

And btw... forgot to add this. I never seen it in any write up i seen on the cowl intake, but DO NOT get a spectre cone filter. They are too big around to fit in the biggest hole you can cut in the cowl. Get a K&N. Ask me how i know...

 

On my 96 XJ the AC compressor kicks on when the front defroster is on.
It blows hot like it's supposed to just wondering why the compressor is running.
Is this normal or is there a wire crossed somewhere?

so I would find a different mechanic.

 

i just got done installing my 6.5 inch rustys lift on my 2001 xj, the problem is that the rear sits up about 1.5 inches hogher then the front. will it settle down??

 

yes.

 

Ok thanks. Also is my shackle and bolt ok like this? Kinda looks like an accident waiting to happen...

 

How often do you dive head first into your shackle? I personally don't do it often enough to worry about that bolt.

 

Yea that is true,i was just thinking mabey when it would flex on trails but i guess we will just wait and see

 

Will a 1996 rear bumper fit a 1998?

 

Might but they are two different styles

 

I thought the bumpers were the same, but with different trim. I may be wrong.
