I also got a couple of keys made for the car. My local locksmith cloned the original key. $200 for both. That’s under half price of what my local Jeep dealer wanted for one key [emoji849]

It’s been quiet here for a while. The Cherokee has been on the back burner, but did some work today.
Got the steering adjusted a bit. Not so much slack in it now. Thanks for the info 4.3LXJ...
My local locksmith could clone my current key. $200 for two new keys. I’ll go with that [emoji1303]

I’ve been driving the car quite a bit lately. Everything now works like a charm [emoji1303]. Very happy with it.
In a not to distant future the rest of the modifications will start.

I see some folks change the steering gear to one from the Durango. Also they mount a strengthening plate to the frame. Any thoughts about that?
As it is now the steering...
Now the XJ runs pretty good. Still a small leak in the #1 injector, but that will be sorted soon. A new one will set me back close to $600. I think I will try to fix it myself first, and I that goes...
Thanks :beer:
Everything is now back in the car. I am delighted that it runs like a charm. No more "knocking" sound when in 4H/4L. The t-case is also a lot more quiet. Very happy with the result.

I had a good day yesterday. The transfer case was put back together.
First all mating surfaces were properly cleaned and degreased.

Then seals and bearings were replaced. This one...

Here goes nothing.

Thanks for the reply. In these neck of the woods I am not to frightened about theft.

Well, the tank is basically a black plastic tank with a flat bottom and a recessed pickup point on the top. It takes a lot of beating. Just flexes when you hit stuff. If I remember right the capacity...
Finally the master repair kit for the NP231J came. Full rebuild will start tomorrow [emoji1303] Did not take picture of the chain, but it’s there [emoji16]

Roger that.I'll check with my local locksmith.
When I bought the car it only came with one key. Today I checked the price for an extra key. That will set me back almost $ 300 [emoji37] Blody ridiculous price.
There is anti theft protection in...
I did one more thing today. Sometimes when driving my RPM and speed nedle goes to zero. After a while the “Airbag” light comes on. The other needles just freeze. Then if I turn or hit a bump...
While waiting on the rebuild kit for the transfer case, I decided to sort out the fuel problem. Out with the tank for the third time. I am getting pretty good at this now. 10 minutes and the tank is...
After a lot of thinking, googeling and trying to identify where the skipping sound came from, I settled on the NP231J. I reasoned that running that thing with little or no oil in it would stretch the...
When I did the front axle I noticed the wheels were hard to turn when I had the car on a stand. I decided to pull the wheel bearings off and also check the U-joints on the two axles.
...
I did a lot of googeling regarding the fuel module and why the car would stop going uphill. No good answers came to me. There is no fuel pump in the tank on a diesel. I decided to solve the problem...
First things first. The leak from the tank had to be sorted. There was also a small problem when the tank was under half. Going uphill for a while the car would die. Basically run out of fuel. Then I...
The first things I did with the car after I drove it home was to take a good look under the car and in the engine bay. The motor was really dirty, and had what seemed like a small oil leak. Same with...
Thanks for the info about rivets. I thought a rivet was a rivet [emoji16] Learning something new every day.
Regarding the regulator, I did not use any of the old parts. The new set came with new...
It’s a pretty good car, but still 21 years old. I did the x-bolts (U-joints?) on the two front axles. Every nut and bolt made it clear that they had been in the same place for some time... They had...
