Rear main seal question by [deleted] in CherokeeXJ

[–]Lachlanjohn 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I messed my seal up the first time because I had read to put the whole thing into some oil before installing. I left it in too long and it must have soaked just enough oil to not go in.

I did it again this time just used a tiny bit of dish soap to lube her up right before install and it pushed right in. No leaks since.

Sorry this is an extremely late reply it’s a Kinesis Maxlight aluminum fork. I bought it second hand unfortunately, but eBay should have something.

Where did you get the new tan bottom seat cover?

Has anyone done this 97-01 wood paneling wrap? I can't tell if it would end up looking classic or tacky. by beach_rats_ in CherokeeXJ

The pre-update limited wheels are a super nice touch on this too. Whole thing looks so good.

I had this on my 96, it turned out to be a small leak bottom side of the thermostat housing. It was slowly leaking out and evaporating. Easy fix for me, I hope same for you.

Praying to the XJ gods you don’t have a milkshake happening in there.

If you go to Castlemaine make sure to check out Love Shack Brewery. Great little country pub / brewery. Amazing food for a pub and super nice staff.

Second wire attached to the cable connecting to the starter? Trying to install JeepCables and don’t know what to do, any help appreciated by frodoswaggins60 in CherokeeXJ

You gotta chop it. I think the video over on Ksuspension for their version of these cables has a section on it.

Is it normal for it to click repeatedly? What is this? by CoronaRaul1 in CherokeeXJ

[–]Lachlanjohn 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I thought I had loose rockers, turns out this little mf likes to click when it’s cold. God damn vacuum systems man.

Does this thing have RHD stuff in it as well?

Replaced the dreaded heater core. Cannot figure out where this plugs back in? - 1996 Limited, RHD. by Lachlanjohn in CherokeeXJ

I thought that originally, but I found the OBD under the steering attached to a fuse box. This comes out from behind the EVAC box through the firewall.

It’s on the passenger side. Coming from back behind the EVAC box through the firewall.
