Fairly new to Jeeps, I know how to do tune-ups and basic things like oil changes and brakes. I bought this '96 last year bone-stock with 139k miles as my daily so my wife could have the VW Golf.

Long story short (kind of), she went to PHX with our 1-year-old early to visit her family a couple months back, I took the XJ out there to meet them and the tranny took a dive in Kingman. Had it towed back and my buddy's uncle runs Expert Transmission off Boulder Hwy so they did a full rebuild, he said whoever had it before put the fan in backwards and caused the tranny to overheat and burn out... no idea how that happens.

Anyway, now that I have a rebuilt tranny I've noticed a pretty bad grinding noise from the rear as soon as it kicks into 4th gear at 45mph, not sure if it's related or not and not really sure where to start with my limited knowledge. Has a small oil leak after fixing the pan and gasket leak, did the front brakes and rotors and they still squeel (driving me insane), and has major DW. Needs some work! Just waiting on that tax return. Don't really want to make it a crawler or anything but I'd like to give it a lift and some new wheels, roof rack, etc. so I can take my son out camping and off-roading for some fun on the weekends.

 

Whooooo!!

Finally got shipping notification for my cables, brown dog mounts and trans mount. Going to be an awesome mail week.

 

brake noise could be from a backing plate rubbing the rotor.

 

Ok. Jeeps still running fine today. Cleaned all the relays I could find. I want to figure out a config I can for to encase them though. I also have a video to load. I'll figure out how to do that and edit it in. But I have a Constant motor/pump running noise on the left side of the engine bay. You'll see/hear if I can get it uploaded.

Ok. Had to use youtube. Hope that's ok. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=tK3K...ature=youtu.be

 

For Suspension and axle problems, check out Adams Driveshaft - just off Sunset & Boulder Highway (702) 568-5680. Fixed my driveshafts, front end wobble, and gearing change.

I need a clutch and AX-15 rebuilt on my 96 XJ. Would you recommend Expert??

 

Awesome, thanks. I've only heard good things about them! And yeah I definitely recommend Expert, they've been around forever and family ran, gave me a great deal on the rebuild.

 

I wish mine had that straight and clean of body!!

 

Well I'm replacing ball joints today and I ordered all 4 spicer joints. Well the upper ones don't have the "knurling" on them like the old ones. So instead of sending them back would somebody want to buy the brand new upper ones? Shoot me an offer

 

Arms did my axles, front and rear arb, and clocked my transfer case..

Great guys..

 

Jon and I and one other jeep are doing the lake mead trail tomorow. Feel free to come

 

Maaaaan. I'm starting a tear down tomorrow :/ gonna redo all the electrical in the Heep. Have fun guys! Hit the Gypsum Mine to Apex tomorrow too. It's a fun ride.

 

Come on man I like to get out of 2 wheel drive! Here's a pic from the trail I'm talking about

 

MAN! Jealous! I'll hopefully have it done by my birthday next month. Maybe I'll do a birthday run if so! Gonna be tough doing it myself though. Wish me luck!

Also take some cool pics and post em! Would love to see more of the trail since I can't get out there hah.

 

Got these bad boys in today. I can't wait to put these on.

It's not posting the pic but it is my brown dog mounts.
