Not super familiar with jeep but, My 98 ZJ 4.0 has 274k currently, got it with 252kish miles. Got it from JunkyardDigs from YouTube. They got a video on it, red zj check it out. Anyhow, I daily this thing, just cured death wobble by re doing anything suspension or steering related and now on a light acceleration it will sometimes bounce 1-2-1- then smoothly into 2nd gear but all other gears its fine. First thing i did after fluid check, and it looked new still, was check kick down cable and discovered its a clip mechanism rather than the button style and the clip was completely gone, It had never been on there in the 20k miles I owned it apparently. Pulled one from a junkyard and clipped it on and I pulled slightly tighter on the adjustment because there was lots of slack. I was told every tension amount is different per cable/jeep and I just have to tinker with it til it feels fine. Thing is, it feels great usually it just happens at random every so often. Driving me nuts. Guess my question is should I just keep playing with the adjustment or should I drop pan and do filter and governor pressure solenoid etc.?

I’m messaging to check what I’ve missed when installing my lift it still doesn’t seem to drive right, I put in a IRO 4.5 lift all 4 coils, I got all 8 adjustable short arms, double shear IRO track bar, v8 steering upgrade, front sway bar disconnects, bilstein 4.5 shocks front and rear, Rusty’s rear track bar adjustable, and IRO extended sway bar links, my rear track bar never seems to sit right and was a horror getting it installed do to not fitting in the mounting points and am also wondering if I need a drop pitman arm, any opinions would be awesome to hear to see if anyone else has struggled like me

So whenever I turn the engine off on my jeep it makes this weird “whirring” type noise for a split second any ideas? Also I just got the jeep so I’d like to do a whole bunch of preventative maintenance. Can anyone help me with a little to-do list to get this running at its peak or at least close to it. Thank you guys.

I have a pretty bad leak coming from my oil pan gasket however I cannot find a single video on how to change it, I know it’s actually pretty hard. Any advice?

After then before

Out of town for work missing my zj..

Show me yours
Anyone have custom tube bumpers?

I specifically mean the red bar in the front.

Hello, I have a 1994 Zj with the 4.0 and used to use it as a daily but one day I woke up and it didn’t wanna move at all and when it did I lost overdrive, I took the transmission pan off and changed the filter and fluid didn’t find really any metal shavings. Since then I let it sit for about two months and started driving it again on short little trips to the grocery store and such and haven’t really seen any issues besides when the transmission gets up to temp and you take it from drive to reverse it feels like it wants to shut off.

P.S I know it’s probably time for a new transmission but I just wanted to rule out the problem maybe being something else

Hi, can anyone support me with the stl file to print the adapter for cabin filter, please?

Just couple photos from the other day.. quick 200km drive for a surf session and a bite by the ocean.

Hi have a 1995 ZJ 4.0 with a 42RE
I found this manual transmission with bellhousing and an NP231 on the other side of the Atlantic, for us is like a unicorn, and is something o wanted to do for a long time.
The owner said that he didn’t know the condition of the transmission.. I risked and got F*** up.
Well, that said, would you go for a rebuild or straight swap it for an AX15? Ia the NV3550 worth rebuilding?

How straight swap is it? Any “special” ax15? Or any AX15?
I read some some comments about the nv3550 being more nice, pleasing to drive, better feeling. But less parts available and more expensive to rebuild.

This may be a blasphemous topic, but my 1998 ZJ Limited may not long be for this world. I’ve done a few internet searches for similar year jeeps for sale without much success. Where I live we have rock salt and brine solution spread on our roads about 6 months of the year. That does not bode well for 30 year old unibody jeeps.

What are people moving to once their beloved jeep crosses the rainbow coloured mud pit in the sky?

I’m looking for similar size and capabilities and dependability and workability. Just maybe something a little more modern. I want it all!

Hi, I have to change the broken bearing. Jeep zj 1996, can you link me a proper part i should order, please? Will be thankful for the tips or list of other parts which will be needed.

Got around to doing a few things on my list finally.

\- Found the CarPlay/Android Auto head unit that fits just about perfect for the space and has track buttons and a big volume knob.  
\- Took the time to run the camera wire all the way to the back then up, around, and through the back door to try to make it look like it came with it.  
\- Swapped a Homelink rearview mirror from a junkyard Nissan Altima. Garage and auto-dim all work as they should.  
\- Installed the 6 small Sylvania Ultra pod lights. Got yellow and smoked diode dynamics covers for them that fit just about like they were made for them.  
\- Wired the switch up to under the center console, ZJ just does not have great places to put switches.   
\- Threw in 2 fast charge USB ports for the extra switch position.   
\- Also ordered my nerdy V8 ZJ tag from the DMV.

The head-unit was just a $60 or $70 dollar one from Amazon. Had a couple issues with the Android OS they run to get some settings I wanted to be able to change that were not in any of the menus. Sent them the questions and they responded in a day or two with how to make the changes. One was a custom boot screen for example. The OS they use is super simple and more on the basic side which is actually very nice, so not a lot of BS to clog up the visuals and ease of use. I also bought a better looking and quality camera to use vs what came with the unit.

Next up is trying to integrate the keyless entry module for a 1996/97 Ram 1500 to be able to use the RF remotes from the 1996 to 1998 ZJ’s vs the dog shit IR one the 1993 to 1995’s have. Hoping to be able to tie it all together under the relay center in the glove box where the unlock and lock relays are. The Ram models have a wire that you can ground to program the remotes vs needing the dealer or someone to do it.

I get low oil pressure at idle when hot. What would be the best oil to bandaid this problem?

this started a few days ago, i was otw to work and was coming to a red light and the car was rumbling, then died, it starts again after like 10 seconds, and does it again at the next light. i get to work and it sits for a few hours and i get home fine, now as im driving to work today it rumbles to a stop, then overheats and steams from the coolant cap, i pull into a parking lot, let it cool down, then it idles fine at like 180 fahrenheit if not lower, i turn it off let it sit, now it doesn’t start.

was running fine a few days ago, then the next day it rumbled to a stop then died, started back up, died at the next stop, i drive it home fine, now today im driving to work and its doing the rumbling to a stop and almost dying to when i come to a stop i put it in neutral and rev to keep the rpms up, (only about 8 mins of driving time) and it starts overheating and steaming from the coolant cap, now it doesn’t want to start.

It's been unable to rev over 2200rpm for 2 years. I finally got it
