Depending on where the leak is at on the master. You are going to have to look under the jeep and see where it is wet or dripping from more than likely it is from the slave cylinder. Look at the bell housing. Also look for any abnormally wet areas (good thing to do every once in a while)

I've been mulling over doing just that. The entire door seal looks fine, but it's not round - it's flattened out, which I imagine is due to age. One of my friends pushed a smaller diameter rubber hose in that seemed to do the trick, but he's left with an ugly hole where he cut the weather stripping to push it in.
I bought a new seal I'm gonna play with a little bit.
No door sagging problem though.... Both doors have perfect alignment since I shimmed them when I bought it.

Hi Everyone I am new to the forum. and not much familiar, with the jeeps much, so i do much of my research on this forum. Never made an account, thought i would do that today because i have a question that not many proper answers were given......
Before i had a 2003 jeep grand cherokee 4.0L I6... i had a 2007 dodge ram 1500,
i cut the cats out of my dodge, it was a 3.7L v6 and got 40mpg highway and was a 6 speed, I know! sounds hard to believe, but happened.
Any how besides all that, When i get on the highway, going up to speed, smell super MASSIVE GROSS rich smell of gas. been thinking the cats are clogged, and not enough air flow out of the motor and be running rich. pisses gas like no other, get 5mpg city, 15 highway. (NOTE) Every sensor, vacuum line, gas lines, etc has been checked and / or fixed.
I know there is 3 cats, but the very last one right before the muffler, has no 02 sensor. Why would a 3rd cat be down there if no sensors are anywhere near it? :Help:
Can i just cut it off? release some backpressure? Where i live at no one gives a crap in the world what you do with your exhaust, does not matter if its all straight pipe, any serious help would be appreciated

Also, keep in mind - there may not be any State mandated emissions inspections, but it's against Federal law to remove emissions-control devices. Glad you decided to register on the forums though - welcome!

I tried to find the reason that downstream Cat was installed but found nothing.

In 2000, there was "California Emissions" with pre-cats and "49-state" with just the primary. In 2001, every XJ got Cali emissions pack

Dana 40 front axle and a Ford 9 inch rear end
So I'm thinking about buying a 79 Bronco for $500 just so I can take the axles from it and swap them over to my 99 XJ. The front axle is a Dana 40 and the rear is a Ford 9 inch with a locked differential. Does anyone know if these will fit on my Jeep? I will also take the transfer case from the Bronco. Will that fit also?

Yeah I've got a couple of people nearby selling 242s for decent coin. One is close by for 100 bucks and the other is about 45 min away for 50
