Quick question, my lift gate on '88 would never open. So while it was raining today I crawled into the back to see what the issue was. After pulling the trim panel to get a look at the latch, pretty much the entire fiberglass surround was gone. What years can I pull up to, just to be done with it. TIA
Jeep won't start, it was previously running great. Cranks for days, no start. No CEL.
New parts-
CPS, TPS IAC, battery, all grounds and power wires, spark plugs, plug wires, distributor, cap and rotor, ASD relay, as well as the other 3 bigger relays next to it, other stuff I'm forgetting, I'm sure.
Fuel pressure tested fine a few weeks ago when I was trouble shooting what turned out to be a grounding issue. Had spark at that time also. Will test for spark and fuel pressure again when I get a chance.
All fuses seem right.
I currently think it is possibly the MAP sensor, as it's the only old part I know I haven't replaced, besides the fuel pump. But it seems a stretch, as the symptoms only partially line up.
Any ideas? I don't care if you make me look dumb if it fixes the issue.

What's the easiest way to tell if I have composite or cast rotors on my 99 Cherokee Sport? I plan on replacing wheel bearing hubs, u-joints, and rotors.

Hi guys,
I'm brand new to the jeep club. I have a 2000 forest green xj (hulk smash) my hatch won't stay up for anything. I was wondering if you guys knew about how much that cost to fix? And is it an easy fix? Thanks guys

Here is an example
the hinges are different, the liftgate struts are different locations and the shape are different. I think

Hey Guys,
Instead of starting a new thread, I was hoping to get some quick hits on this. I just purchased two gallons of Rotella T6 5w-40 as I'm in need of an oil change. I've never used it, but I've heard such good things from you guys in my searching and I wanted to give it a try. I'm just curious if the 40 weight at operating temp might be "too much" for a 70k mile engine?
Part of me was just gonna do it without asking, but since I can't do it till tomorrow, I figured I'd ask. Not to mention I don't want it to be "too much" for a low mile engine, and have to spend another $20 to $30 for another 6 quarts of something else.
Thanks!

so how much would you value a 94ish 4.0 out of an xj with the transmission (ax15) and transfer case (not sure on which one). already pulled? rebuilt 8 years ago with about 30,000 on the motor and 20,000 on transfer case and transmission? i have an 88 with the renix but want a strong 5 speed. would this be very difficult to swap the two?
