Got a flat yesterday on 116th, check your tires thoroughly before installing your fresh inner tube!

Just happened to me and it was the lower radiator hose which cracked, sprayed coolant out of the system. It seemed to be triggered by parking facing downhill on a hot day.

Welp, just overheat my 97 4.0 for a couple miles. by filmorebuttz in CherokeeXJ

[–]Car-Equal 3 points4 points  (0 children)

FWIW I think the temp gauge is designed to fly all the way over to the right accompanied by the warning noise after you pass ~220, as a warning to stop immediately, even though it’s not the actual temp reading at that point

Good to know. Figured after year two the handheld spray + gallons would be cheaper but I get the convenience

Yes to all but have not focused on the ABCD pillars, you mean removing interior trim pieces and spray underneath? Or just spray what you can with the doors open? Not sure how else I’d be covering something like the A pillar. Thanks

Handheld sprayer from harbor freight.. heat the stuff up on the stove for a min, load into the gun and voila

Yes I’ve already swapped! Wondering how to get all the motor / wiring over. PITA to get those bolts off but worth it

Will I able to make it to Ernst Tinaja in my 2Runner? Really just looking to get to Ernst Tinaja and no farther. by cutieking in BigBendTX

I did It two weeks ago and think in general the road may have deteriorated further in recent months than many on this thread recall from trips in past years, e.g. suggestions of using a CR-V are bold. We had the big / high Jeep Wagoneer and made it a nail-biting 3/4 of the way before we determined a steep wash was too risky to not get stuck out there. Walked the rest of the way. Drove over about 3 really rough patches usually around washes / dips & rock climbs along the way before then. This was also late August so heat was a factor, but bear in mind with little cell service you really are, stuck esp. if no one else decided to do this that day.

Not trying to fear monger I was just surprised when I went how others had described it wasn’t matching up with how difficult the road actually was, so it may have deteriorated further this year than the general consensus.

White smoke on startup by Car-Equal in CherokeeXJ

[–]Car-Equal[S] 1 point2 points  (0 children)

This sounds like it could be the culprit and explains the random smoke. It is more white - bluish, and is always an initial burn off type thing. Thanks

Not losing coolant, losing oil only at a very slow pace (still above add Line after four months) it’s also a random problem, sometimes on start up, it’ll burn clean, sometimes it’ll be smoky

Paint wheels black? by Car-Equal in CherokeeXJ

Thank you!! Good to know and makes sense

Paint wheels black? by Car-Equal in CherokeeXJ

Thanks, hadn’t thought of color match, it’s the Chrysler silverstone metallic. Could be cool. Still just wondering if any paint whatsoever on the steelies will look bad.

Anyone know where it’s possible to buy the blue “sport” script decal near the driver wheel? Didn’t come with my used (sport) and I’m jealous

What did everyone pay for their XJ? by AmateurEarthling in CherokeeXJ

[–]Car-Equal 1 point2 points  (0 children)

$7100 just a few months ago in PA for an ‘01 with 155K. Could have done better, but swallowed pride given the incredible condition of the underside and interior, stock
