I'm on the northside of Indy, Noblesville area.
Anyone nearby? I could use some help soon with a ball joint replacement.
I pay in beer :-)

 

I'm about an hour from you in new castle

 

hey acewingman89,
enjoying this weather? its amazing.
have you ever had to replace ball joints? I've got a 97 XJ sport thats in need.
take care

 

I drink coke but not too far from you. I have a shop to work in and I am just S of Fortville.

 

hey XJx3,
yea, fortville isn't that far.
any chance you'd be open to helping me out with my 97?
I've done several other repairs on my own (water pump, power steering pump, thermostat, starter, NSS, etc) but I'm a little hesitant to jump into replacing the ball joints. hope all is well near fortville

 

Yeah no problem. I'm usually around day and night . Shoot me a PM and I will give you my number.

Hey guys im looking to get a group of jeeps to go to the badlands labor day weekend anyone game?

 

Anderson area here, we should get a group to meet up and check out each others rigs and eat.

 

would love to hit that wheel day. but all stock jeep and no haul truck so it makes it tough with being my dd

 

hey ya'll im in Lafayette just got my first xj and new to the lifted side. kinda need a lil help here. not sure where to ask but I like to ask my locals first before I go out in to the big pond to ask. let me know if you guys can help.

 

What do you need help with?

 

well first off im in need of a elec fan bad cant drive it long with out it. and I need a set of rubber for it to the tires on it now suck. I have 235/75? /15s on it now. and while I was driving it today the idle shot up and I can seem to understand why I check all my vac lines and the tb looked pretty clean, I check everything I can think of. so at this point im lost with it. also I have an 1989 jeep Cherokee xj 2 dr has the 4.0 auto 4wd as far as anything else not sure like I said very first one so im learning as I go here.

 

I don't know too much about Renix era 4.0s. You might be better off asking in the "ask a question" thread. Lots of help to be had there.

As for the electric fan, if your cooling system is up to par you should be fine without one except certain occasions (drive thrus, etc.) So you may need to do some cooling system maintenance as well as add an aux fan. Which, I know you could convert the closed renix cooling system to an open system like on 91+ XJs.

 

yea it had a elec fan but trying to find to put back in its place is becoming a challenge. im learning these things are finicky!

 

Yea Renix 4.0s can be that way.

Have you looked at any junkyards yet? For the elec fan.
