Husband and I are new to the XJ scene, we bought ours last winter, its a 1990 Laredo. We paid $500 for it on Craigslist. Steal. It has/had a few things wrong with it but overall its fair good.

We are wanting to get into off roading are a currently finding out all the things we need to do so.

Just wanted to make myself known and hopefully be able to some day soon set up a group to go off roading.

Hey and Thank you!

We bought the Jeep from a guy who has used it for a farm vehicle for years. We keep having little issues arrive but the one major issue we had that it would just die. Randomly. You let it sit and it would start up after 20 mins. Then it become known that it only did it when wet outside. So many people suggested the CSP. We eventually took it to specialty jeep guy and he suggested same thing. He replaced the part and it seemed fixed. Until all that rain and it died. We ripped the carpet up in drivers side floor to reveal a clump of wiring that had rotted through and snapped due to a rusted out hole in the flooring. Fixed the floor, spliced the wires and it all works fine now. We've had one sway bar go out and cause the 'death wobble', and so far a one rear brake line. We also have some bad sagging in the rear, but we don't wanna replace everything until we get a lift.

We are working on a budget but we really wanna get her off road ready cause we are itching to head out and give it a go.

Sorry for the long post!

I just joined a couple weeks ago. I was looking for some fellow jeeper's to wheeling with. Another factor was the custom license plates. Just sent my forms in, hopefully I'll have them soon.

The problems you're having all sound like regular Cherokee issues.... Just hang in there. As for the sway bar causing death wobble... I doubt you experienced death wobble to be honest, but I could be wrong. It's not very common for a Stock Xj to get death wobble for any reason, but not impossible. Death wobble would damn near scare you out of ever driving the Jeep again. I used to get death wobble every time I hit a bump with only one front tire. One day while I was driving to work I hit death wobble and it finally snapped my 2 month old Timken wheel hub, snapped my trac-bar mount right off the axle, and bent my tie rod like a wet noodle. After I repaired the damage and replaced the faulty parts I was still scared beyond belief to drive my rig again. Something about losing complete control over your vehicle at any given time just scares the crap out of me. Some guys get pretty defensive when others speak about death wobble when in fact they only had a front end shimmy, so just be careful how you word some things. Nobody needs internet arguements, ya know?

If I could offer you a word of advice for modifying you Xj....... Do all or most of your power adders before a lift and tires. These motors take "tweaks" very well and are impressive when done right. If you want to feel all of that power, do it before lift and tires, otherwise power will be robbed. This is one of the things I wish I would have done differently on my rig. I'm not putting down 171rwhp and 194ft/tq but with these tires and lift it doesn't feel much like it.
