That is some character-granting rust right there.

Where is your Hi-Lift mounted exactly? That's not bolted to the hood is it?

Tossed_Salad_Man posted:I did the same thing, except I didn't buy the fancy rack. I made one that uses the hood hinges, replacing one of the hinge bolts with a bolt running up with the threads sticking out, a couple of nuts to clamp the hinge, a stainless 2" spacer, some washers and wing nuts. Maybe it's just me, but a 15-20lb jack on an light piece of sheet metal just doesn't seem very safe for that piece of metal.

I've towed several Ford Probes around with a 91 Cherokee Pioneer (Or is it a 90? I can't remember) with over 280k miles on it, with no issues. In excess of 150 miles at least one trip. The only issue it had was the obvious gas mileage issue.

My 00's only problem is, as my OBDII scanner tells me "MISFIRE CYLINDER 01/06" with 18xk miles on it

Just look at every Jeep in your area for sale. You'll know when you've found the right one. They speak to you.

Move the tires to the front and put new tires on the rear would be my opinionated suggestion. Rear tires keep you going the direction you want to go in.

I have a lot of drift in my Cherokee, and our old Cherokee had a lot of drift. I've only driven the two, so I can't speak beyond that. (an '00 now and before a '90)

I finally bought the good drill bits I needed and finished making my Hi-Lift jack mount for my roof rack. I don't have pictures of it yet, since I'm a slacker, but it's nice. And gets it out of the back seat.

What broken state do you live in where you can't buy a car and take possession within about two seconds of all the paperwork being done at the dealer/the title being handed to you by the previous owner?

I learned how to use a manual transmission on my first motorcycle, a 600CC supersport. I think it took me about 15-20 minutes the first or second day of December with snow and ice all over to get a good feel for it. Edit: I unlazied myself for a bit - Here's a view of the roof rack mount I made for my (off-brand) high lift jack  Along with the axe and shovel that give my grandmother miniature heart attacks every time she sees them because they're "weapons" and I'm going to go to jail for them one of these days, she's sure of it.

If I didn't have my Civic, I wouldn't have my Jeep anymore (Or at least on the road), as it's pretty painful to drive with gas at $4 a gallon.

I still have this lovely random CEL which throws three codes - Multiple cylinder misfire, cylinder one misfire, and cylinder six misfire. It then falls into limp home mode, and after a quick clearing of codes with my lovely OBDII scanner, it runs fine for another 2-400 miles and then tells me it has an issue again. It's a 2000 XJ with 183k miles. The previous owner replaced all the spark plugs and wires a few months before selling it with platinum, which I've read can cause... well, that issue. I've run some Seafoam through it, which let me go almost 700 miles without that popping up, and I've cleaned the plugs and wires. Now, without telling me the obvious of replacing the plugs and wires, since I'm broke (okay, not broke, but getting low enough that that's not at the top of my priorities) is there anything else I should look at? I think I brought this issue up earlier in the thread, but if I did, whatever was suggested didn't work. Tomorrow is dedicated to "Try and fix everything wrong with the cars", so I expect to get up early, spend an hour working on one thing, then giving up and going for a motorcycle ride and enjoying the beautiful weather for the rest of the day. (Seriously, I hate my cars so much right now.)

Special. I went to remove the spark plugs to check them... and my spark plug socket won't fit down in the wells. Also, I may be retarded, or misheard him, but I could have sworn he said platinum plugs AND wires... the 2000 doesn't have regular wires, or a distributor, and it didn't occur to me even posting here.

Specialer. Driving down the road tonight, it started to bog down every time I'd take pressure off the gas pedal (it's an automatic, by the way), like it was about to stall. Came to a red light.... it stalled on me. So I had to push it off the road and coax it into starting again, which it didn't want to until I put it in neutral and tried. Then, I had to hold slight pressure on the gas pedal to keep it running, or it'd stall again. Then it threw a cylinder 6 misfire code (Always have my scanner handy when I drive it) which I cleared, as one problem at a time is enough. Fortunately, it stayed running long enough to get home, maybe a mile drive, with a few stop signs along the way, without stalling on me. Any ideas what might have caused this to happen, or what I could do to fix it?

Yeah, I dread renting car dollies with my Jeep (Ought to just buy one at the rate I need them... Stupid older cars) because I always get the "You can't tow with that, our system says so, and I've never heard of a Jeep that can tow a car." Not even a hesitation on the Jeep's part, just keeps chugging right along. Now, shut up and rent me the dolly.

Ninja Dan posted:Alright, maybe you guys can give me he a hand here. I have a 93 Cherokee, and the lock on the driver side door is jammed. They are manual locks, when I press the switch on the inside it's stubborn and doesn't feel like it's moving anything in the door. When I press the button it offers a little resistance the first time you hit(after messing with the lock) and then subsequent presses offer no resistance. I'm considering using a slim jim or a coat hanger to get it open if it's possible but I dunno where to buy a slim jim... so I figured if anyone knew how to do this it'd be you guys. Advance Auto Parts has them for like $8 in their random accessories/tools section

I just drove 90 miles in my XJ and used just under a half tank. If it weren't so drat comfy (And if my Civic didn't have a flat tire) it would be a driveway queen.

jonathan posted:Are the later years OBDII ? I wonder if tuners are available with a more efficient engine program. Don't really NEED 195 horsepower all the time. Yes, just like anything else, OBDII after '96. And it's a good thing, too, because I get a CEL CONSTANTLY, and hate having to jump pins to reset it.
