So I'm going to a junk yard on wednesday and heres my list:

Brush-guard and/or armored front and rear bumpers
Battery box
Lift gate shocks
NSS
Cold air intake
And a class 3 hitch


That's what I would like to get if I can find it all. Is there anything else that I should grab if I can find it?

 

I'm on the hunt for some more neon or 5.0 injectors

 

Why are injectors such a good thing to upgrade?

 

The newer ones have an updated spray pattern the give you better fuel economy, makes the engine more responsive and increases power. Its not a whole lot but a few MPG, and hp for a couple bucks pays for itself.

 

Are they hard to install? And by neon, do you mean dodge neon?

 

Yes dodge neon but since you have an 01 then i believe you need ones with 784 as the last numbers because of the plug style. And i dont know if those are neon injectors or not. Best do more research on that project lol.
Side note i have read/seen that you can use old hatch supports(shocks) to mock up a hood opening shock so hold on to your old ones in case you want to do that later.

 

Ok thanks for the info on the injectors.

And yea I think I might do that with the shocks, the only problem is that the reason I'm getting new ones it cuz mine don't hold very well anymore

 

yea that was the first thing i replaced with my xj. Have someone around to help old it bc i didnt and i cant remember if it hit me or if just holding it and installing the new one with only the other old one helping out but either way i was like "that was dumb" and wish i would have had someone there lol.

 

For an '01 you need the 784 injectors. They're easiest to find in 97-00 Dodge Stratus's withe the 2.4 engine. Very easy to remove (a 13mm socket & ratchet, needle nose pliers, and a small flat tip screwdriver is all you need). To prep them, 1) soak them in fuel cleaner (Seafoam works very well) overnight, 2) test them to make sure they read 12 ohms, 3) use a 12v battery and some speaker wire to open them up and spray carb cleaner through them, and 4) replace the o-rings. You can get a reconditioning kit from Autozone/Pepboys/Advance Auto for like 4 bucks per injector that will give you new caps and o-rings. If you need help installing them on your XJ, check the link in my signature.

You'll get a smoother idle and better throttle response. You may see a slight mpg increase, but that would only be because you're removing dirty injectors and putting in clean ones.

 

Lol I'll keep that in mind. Thanks.

No rdplz- thanks I'll keep that in mind, I don't think I'll tackle that project quite yet...

 

factory tranny cooler......all years can be used.They seem to be pretty common around here. if you can get the lines complete with it even better. if not, you can cut yours, flare the ends and use hose clamps.

A ZJ tie rod upgrade.

T/c skid.... from any XJ.

Good all metal tank replacement radiator if you have a plastic tanked one... ive found 2 almost new ones for $35 ea at the PaP.

ZJ or Liberty rear disk brakes. Paid $75 for last set I bought complete.

Tranny mount.....for a 01 its $80+ from dealer, $30+ parts house, $5 PaP. They are different than the older models and AZ and advanced dont even stock them.

Spare coil rail and a spare tranny control module isnt a bad idea either. Both of those are cheap at the PaP, but very expensive from a parts house. Cheap insurance to buy em and put them up for a rainy day. You can always double your money if ya never use them and want to sell them.

 

Thanks!!!! That's what I was looking for lol. Yea I was prolly gonna grab a skid if I could find one. And the ZJ/Liberty disc brakes are genius!!! Never would have thought of that. And I don't know what a tranny cooler looks like... got a pic? Is it easy to take on and off?

 

I couldnt find a real picture but here is a diagram showing what and where its located.

Thanks a lot!

 

So are the neon objectors a direct fit to the I6? Is there any nods that have to be done to them?
