    Cobra 19 Ultra II

    Forgive me if this has been posted somewhere already. I searched first but I'm not the best at that so... I got a Cobra 19 Ultra II CB today for $10 in apparently great shape. I wanted an inexpensive unit to put in my Jeep and I figured for the $10 I couldn't go too wrong. Does anyone have...

    Good books and first mechanicals-new XJ

    Hi all, I am considering tackling the replacement of my serpentine belt. I read this guide online: http://www.getahelmet.com/jeeps/maint/belt/ It sounds relatively idiot proof. Anything I should know, like am I going to destroy something if I've never done this before? Next I was hoping...

    Greeting and some XJ questions

    My new Jeep Well my buddy has named the new XJ "The Fed Fridge" since it is white, boxy and an ex-Fedmobile. I am starting to peel my eyes for some tires. The consensus here seems to be 30x9.5 is a good size with no lift or trimming needed? The truck came with four brand new Kumho radials in...

    Greeting and some XJ questions

    Yup...or maybe someone has one lying around and can save me a trip to the junkyard. Unfortunately, as much as I used to love going to the junkyard, they're not toddler friendly.

    Greeting and some XJ questions

    Hmmm...ok perhaps I am wrong. I was sure that I read that when they went to the "new" body style in 1997 they put a strap in the hatch to pull it shut. In any case, on the right side of the inside of my hatch, on the bottom, there is a place with two holes molded in that looks like a handle or...

    Greeting and some XJ questions

    I got my XJ! :wings: I can't believe how nice and solid it seems considering the year and mileage (1997 with 103K) and that it was a government truck. It's in great shape and very clean. So much for being patient and waiting until spring. Anyhoo, I am looking for a couple of things: -a 1997...

    Opinions on this Wagoneer?

    I had a 1978. It was a beast! These can be had for cheap if you don't want all the stuff he did. Anyhow...go here: www.ifsja.org That's the best place for Full Size Jeep (FSJ) info on the web (IMO)

    Greeting and some XJ questions

    Well we reached a good deal (my deal) on that 1997 XJ so I should be getting it tomorrow. It had a new windshield installed but there was a leak in the seal so they are replacing that again. Even thought they told me it was all serviced up, and the fluids I could check or see looked clean and...

    WTB: Cherokee XJ rubber mats

    In anticipation of my new 1997 Cherokee XJ that I should be picking up tonight I am looking for some rubber floor mats such as Husky, Weathertech or similar in TAN color. They don't have to be name brand, just the kind that hold water, snow or mud away from the floor so you can dump them out...

    Greeting and some XJ questions

    1997 XJ redux The dealership has begun trying to negotiate with me on the 1997 that I drove this week. It actually only took one day for me to get an e-mail and a phone call. I am standing firm at my offer of $5500. They claim to have paid $4000 for the Jeep and did a lot of work. I saw the...

    http://sfbay.craigslist.org/scz/cto/1618974448.html Too rich for my budget but thought someone might be interested in this nice low mileage MANUAL tranny 4Runner.

    Greeting and some XJ questions

    Well, I went up and drove the 1997 XJ today. It seemed nice although the windshield was replaced recently and it was leaking and whistling. No problem as they would fix that. They rejected my offer, however, saying "supply and demand." That may well be so I will keep on looking. Too bad though...

    Greeting and some XJ questions

    First of all, you all are great. I appreciate the guidance. Do you folks find that Kelly Blue Book is not a good guide when it comes to pricing these? It seems that where I am the prices are a little to well over blue book. I'd like to make an offer on this truck at the dealership but the price...

    Might as well post this up here... I am checking all the usual places, Craigslist, Crazedlist, Cars.com, Auto Trader and eBay but you never know what someone is considering selling! I'd like a stock, clean well maintained 1997-2001 Cherokee XJ four door 4x4 with no more than 100,000 miles on...
