    Preemptively replace OEM fuel pump?

    I had to drop the fuel tank on my '98 136k miles because I melted a hole in it when I beat the exhaust into two bits on a trail. Near as I can tell, it has never been down before, and it looks like the OEM fuel pump. Should I take this opportunity to replace it? Or will an inexpensive...

    Is my AW4 done?

    Well, I figured out that answer to my question in another thread. That noise in my crankcase after an engine swap? It is something in my tranny/torque converter. It started getting a little sluggish just a few dozen miles. As I drove the Jeep this week (25 miles each way, commuting), it got...

    Front shock questions

    My XJ has about a 4.5" lift installed by a previous owner. The front shocks have a bar pin eliminator on the bottom, but they also have a bracket on the top that is like a bar pin eliminator, such that the front shocks are the same double eyelet style as the rear shocks. When fully extended...

    The easy way to lube door locks

    Power locks sticking? Too lazy to pull the door apart? It doesn't do much of anything to squirt lube into the exposed mechanism. All of the old threads I found suggest that the only solution is to tear it out. If you have five minutes, try this: 1) Pull the three torx screws that hold the latch...
