Crappy... I wouldn't have had the day off either but we couldn't get lumber delivered so more power to BMC I will probably drive up Skyline DR (in bountiful)if it's open...

I might do a 3/4 day tommorow, my son wants to go hiking (since he started doing the volunteer work for the Forest service he's an outdoor junkie), he wants the old man to go with him and we haven't gotten to hike this year so I'm going to see if I can put that together. That kid and I have had some awesome adventures, I better hang on to the opportunity before he gets older, has his own life and doesn't have as much time for Dad.

 

Hey all, couple ?'s and bad to good news. First... unfortunately I killed 2 deer with the cherokee outside of kamas last sunday. Insurance is totalling her but she runs straight and true outside of some front end bruises. I will buy her back and end up with a check. Gonna get replacement parts from JY. Anyone have painting skills and a place to spray ?? i would rather pay a fellow XJ'r than a stranger to paint my replacement parts. Second, I blew my top radiator hose last night. I ended up pulling my t-stat out (dont ask why) replaced new hose and she is running much cooler. Can i run her w/out t-stat till winter or will i cause damage ? I just prefer her running cooler when i trail slow and when im in the valley on a hot day. Thanks, Chris

 

I run mine with no t stat all summer

 

It will probably run hotter with no t-stat and cause damage, not a good idea.. t stat controls the flow of coolant without it the radiator can not cool it fast enough because it flows to fast through it and will cause it to overheat

 

Hit me up when you're ready.

 

Hi Guys. I'm a newbie to Jeeps who just bought a 2000 Sport as a DD and occasional off-road toy. Since the purchase I've read several references to the best years being 97-99. What changed in 2000 to keep them off the list?

Thanks.

 

Thanks X1994J, i'll PM you after i get the parts and we can set something up

 

I think it is just the hp front 30 and they went to the coil rail on the engine. I have a 01 and i cannot stand the coil rail i replace spark plug like they are going out of style. other then that i love it.

 

Cool, if you need help finding parts or what not let me know. I know a few places in town for aftermarket OE style replacement parts.

 

Hey does anyone have any t cases in good shape they want to sell?

 

what always said, plus 2000+ have had some head cracking issues....

I have never had plug issues... done them every 30k. I have a 2k. I like it.

 

My 2000 sport blew a piston into about 10 pieces and it gets heat soak. But besides that I love it the same as my old 99 sport

 

I have the front half of one leftover from a 4:1 swap...but that would be pretty useless to you more than likely

You can have it for free if you have any use for it. That goes for all y'all
