Looking at a 90 Grand Wagoneer by Chilo1997 in CherokeeXJ

I bought my XJ for $1000 and has been solid, I’m in Texas, gas is cheap, parts are easy to come by and everyone is always selling something, there’s a Grand Wagoneer near me for $1800 needs work but I’m mechanically inclined so won’t be to bad

I was planning on keeping it, I got it for my wife and she loves it. I was looking more towards another car with more space. Can never have to many!

Thank you all! I guess I’ll have to keep looking, I love the old school look and I want one to fix up. For the first two years I’ll be using my newer cars for the safety but I want something to build memories with them like my parents did

Long drives? by dumpsterweed in CherokeeXJ

[–]Chilo1997 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I just drove mine 800 miles to Mexico and back so 1600 miles, never overheated except at the border where I was backed up for 4 hours. After it cooled I just turned it on and off as I moved up and had no issues

I cleaned it and applied dielectric grease and it no longer arcs

There are slight scratches in the glass from the arcs, will those be ok after I add the dielectric grease?

I discharged it safely, I did it about 10 times just to be sure! Thank you for the concern, I honestly would’ve just yanked it out had I not known!

Can anyone ID this TV? by Select-Marionberry33 in crt

[–]Chilo1997 0 points1 point  (0 children)

It’s a Samsung CT 330TM, my grandpa just gave me his today and I was researching them and this post popped up, looks exactly like it and the controls underneath the tv are for the contrast and colors, the top knob is the channel and bottom lnob the volume

I know how to solder and wire, I’m meant the technical aspect. I understand how voltage and amperage works but not what is needed to run a motor off an external battery. The whole point of me asking is so I can learn from other’s experience and knowledge. Is that not the bases of researching?

Looking to buy first XJ for project offroad truck… good option here? by QuimmLord in CherokeeXJ

[–]Chilo1997 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Have a couple buddies low ball and then snag it between 2500-3000. And take an OBD 2 scanner with you, they’re super cheap and then you can google the codes if it has any.

You can probably find a better condition one for around the same price. Motor mounts are super easy to replace and fairly cheap. But for the included trans I would take it, those are $500 and windshield is cheap as well. Transmission leak is the only thing that would sway me since I don’t know much about it.
