I have a 89 Wrangler Laredo that I recently purchased. I've been going
through all of the normal tuneup steps (new plugs, plug wires, cap,
rotor, fuel filter, timing, vacuum tube, etc.) in order to get the
Jeep ready to be a daily driver. Had the timing adjusted yesterday

Grand Waggoneer has a 5000lb towing capacity, which was less than
I would have thought. Anybody know what the limiting factor is ?
I'm guessing its engine power as the chassis is very substantial, the
axles are D44s and the vehicle is quite wide and long (even although its

There's a discussion in alt.trucks.ford about code readers, and it got me
thinking...why couldn't there be a small display to show a stored code, and
it's definition, in every (new) vehicle? Doesn't seem like it would be all
that expensive to engineer one into a vehicle, especially ...

Does anyone have a copy or a link to a PDF or similar of the factory
workshop manual for XJ Cherokees?  I'm especially after one that covers
94-96.  Thanks.
Alternatively, does anyone have a manual in good condition they'd like to

Does anyone know of a good locking gas cap for a '91' XJ? I'm not worried so
much about people stealing my gas as spiking my gas tank.

Lost cooling in my 6cyl '96 GC without warning this weekend. Fan works,
condenser turns on and off, low pressure line is very cold and condensation
forms on the line. Air coming thru vents might have a higher humidity level
when the AC is turned on than when it is off.

Anyone have any good pics of a YJ with the "Flat Fender" look.  Looking for
some different ideas.  With or without fender flares.

I replaced the belt on my 95 GC (inline 6 with A/C) last summer simply for
concern over mileage.  This is the one with manual tension; no automatic
tensioner.  I don't have a tension gauge.  I set it to what seemed like
decent tension.  No problems then.

has anyone performed a 305 or 350 engine swap?  what was the cost
incurred?  I have a 258 with sr-4 tyranny and d300 transfer.  I
would like to get the aforementioned engine with either a
turbo350 or 700r4 transmission and use an adapter to the

Trying to figure out what compressor to get for the garage.  My
trusty R-22 bottle and minipump just isn't going to cut it. :)
Seems the only way to get enough umph for a grinder is to go with
at least 7.5 CFM @ 90 PSI.  At that rate the compressor gets too

Forgot to ask this in another post:  I've washed my winch cable also
after using it in mud... working in the metal finishing biz, I feel
like I want to oil the cable, but haven't done anything like that yet.
It's a brand new winch and cable, only been on there for muddin twice

Sometimes I'm left shaking my head.

Nice tires. o_O

I just got 31x10.50x15"  MT/R's mounted on my '97 TJ.  The spare will now not
mount to the tire carrier without flipping it over so that the inside of the
spare rim is facing out, which means that the tire is hanging several inches
out away from the Jeep.  Also, it looks like even ...
