My first xj.
I finally got an upgrade from my 93 Honda civic hoop-d, to a 2000 beautiful dark blue Jeep Cherokee sport 4x4 with Dana 30 and 8.25 and 112k on the clock. This is my first time owning a xj after lusting for years. My intentions on this build are daily driver and weekend warrior/ bug out vehicle. So reliability and decent off-road ability are key. Any help is greatly appreciated.
Bugs and issues: -rear hatch shocks worn out -rear hatch panel has arch cut into it? Will get picture soon. -passenger window switches don't work (short?) -center console latch busted -check engine light on, its a tranny safety switch of some sort? -only one good tire haha -slight idle surge (a surge of like 200rpm) Modifications since buying 2 weeks ago: -new wiper blades -new battery -Kenwood head unit -Pioneer 6.5" speakers all around Next on agenda : -3" lift kit -control arms -steering stabilizer -sye -transfer case drop kit -31" mud tires |

the neutral safety switch? is that the switch your talking about?
|
the window switches have a common problem. it might be the lock/unlock window switch on your driver door panel. theirs a few write ups about how to "bypass" the lock. but theirs a good one that i used, ill look for it and post a link. it showed how to take the switch apart and clean it and 2 of the soilder points might need to be resoildered. it was super easy. from taking the door panel off to putting it back on took me maybe 30-45 mins at most.

You won't need a SYE for 3" of lift if even a t case drop... Get Aftermarket lower control arms with your lift... If your NSS is bad then you'll have starting problems and no reverse lights

https://www.cherokeeforum.com/f51/ho...-switch-86322/ this is the window switch fix
|
I did look up the codes, just can't remember them at the moment. I'll get that this weekend. Thanks for the heads up on not needing an sye. I haven't had any issues with starting yet. My cousin said he will help with my window problem this weekend.
I'll be purchasing my lift in about a month. |

sweet! cant wait to see how it goes! start spraying the rear shackles and u bolts with lube! |
I agree, a T Case drop should be fine for a 3" lift with the 8.25. SYE is to much $$$ with the new driveshaft and all. nice looking jeep I like the navy blue!
|
So today I got off work early so I'm planning on taking out the grill and headlight bezels and painting them black.

Could have just pulled it off and cleaned it and I imagine it would have been perfect
X2 spray all the bolts with pb blaster |
