  1. While doing some research on oil for my 2000 XJ, I found the best content that I've ever seen on the roles and impacts of various oil components. Having wrenched several older rear-engined German cars, the zinc content is always a critical issue. Spoiler alert: Oils formulated for deisel engines (yes, they *can* be used in gasoline engines) have some of the highest levels of Zinc. HTH *
  2. I learned about Crown Automotive (their Canton, MA location) last week from a fellow XJ guy from whom I bought a used trailer hitch. Saw great reviews of them online, called them a few days ago. SUPER helpful and savvy about all types of Jeeps, not just XJs. Visited them today, only ten minutes before they were slated to close (which was 2:30PM) to pick up some parts that I'd requested. HOLY SMOKES! Kevin could not have been more helpful, and he graciously stayed another 20 minutes past closing time to provide more parts for me, give me tips about working on my Jeep, and other good sources for parts (including "You don't need to buy those from us. Here's how ya do it...") They appear to have many locations, so you will have to use your search engine. For Boston and E MA guys, you won't regret going there. (Oh, and the prices were better than anyplace I'd found, online or local retail.) He recommended a place in Cumberland, RI (they ship nationally) for used Jeep parts, which is called DeadJeep (add the dot com and you're there), telling me about their insane volume and inventory. I haven't checked them out yet, but plan to call them on Monday for some interior parts, then go there mid-week. HTH
  3. So the time has come...maybe... I am considering unloading my 2000 Jeep Cherokee Beach Buggy -- Not real happy about it, but...I really truly just don't have the time to run it and work on it the way I thought I would. Bought it stock 3 years ago, been putting time and $$ into to since only to have it sit there thanks to a work schedule that's not allowing for regular IBSP runs. 160K miles (don't have exact now-will edit later), decent body (for an 18 year old NE Jeep), headliner needs replacing, and the interior is good. It does need new Power Steering hoses. Sprung a good leak two weeks ago -- I have the new ones sitting in a Rock Auto box -- just haven't had the time to throw them in. Its a great buggy -- but I don't have the time to keep up with it or use it enough to justify the insurance and general expense. Here's what's in it and on it right now: Nate's 4x4 Custom Front and Rear Bumpers (Front = Winch, Rear = 2" Receiver) Curt Full Safari Basket Smittybilt XRC Winch with Cover Auxbeam Aux Lights for Winch mount Less than 100 miles on Bilstein Shocks Less than 100 miles on new Moog Springs New Oil Sending Unit CB with Mag Antenna Blocked Rear Leafs Mounted Fire Extinguisher I'd consider selling some of the other stuff too -- don't know if I'll need the hi-lift. Would like to keep the compressed bottled air system but all things are negotiable at this point. Here are some pics... I'll start at $5,000 and discuss it from there, but I put a bit in and don't want to take too much a bath if I can avoid it. Located in SI. Won't be able to show for a week or so due to work -- just wanted to test the waters -- PM me if you're interested.
  4. Hey guys, I've wanted an old Cherokee since I could first drive (im mid 30s now) and never had the chance to pull the trigger. I love the old body style and the fact that they are known to be tanks and if taken care of will go the distance (as apposed to the manifest obsolescence of modern vehicles - that people treat like trash and then become trash after 5 years). I have been researching for ages and it sounds like the pre 2000 XJs are the way to go. The wife has given me the go ahead to search out an old Cherokee as the weekend driver, beach buggy and camping mobile but I have been having some tough luck. My budget is ideally under $6k and would love a truck with around 100k miles but flexible on both for the right truck. I have gone out to see a half dozen trucks 97 - 00 and all of them seemed to have rough mechanical problems. I am not afraid of doing maintenance every other month or so but most of these trucks had super active coolant or oil leaks that had me running. I guess my question here is - am I too late to get my hands on a pre 00 XJ thats not going to be a nightmare or am I just running into trucks that are getting sold because an owner is trying to get out of a truck thats having issues. I dont want to walk away from the hunt so any advice as to where to look or if I am just being a baby and need to pull the trigger and just put the money into bringing it back to life - I would greatly appreciate it. Sorry for the rant!
