Anyone know of a place on the interweb that sells model specific color matched paint for interior plastic panels?

96 XJ.. The sounds coming from this thing right in front of the pass firewall. It clicking 2-3 times a second loud enough you can hear it w/ the hood closed. It's done this a couple times before but I never tracked down the sound. No clue what it is.

I am looking for both front door exterior panels for a 96 XJ or compatible year. Here's what it looks like on the driver's door... Color doesn't matter, they just need to be straight and not drooping like in the picture. The front of the panel is slightly angled so they are door specific.

This is on a 96 XJ that came with the 2 tone 5 spoke alloy wheels... I've got something coming up where I'd like to get the old truck looking as good as she can, so I'm looking for a quick fix for my wheels. What's happened w/ the previous owner (who's a surgeon but cant drive a car worth...

Yeah called the muffler shop closest to me but said they were too busy to deal with it so I came here. But yeah I hear ya. I'll call around to more shops and see what I can figure out.

Can't believe it but the new shackles are running into the end of my exhaust so the stock XJ is having it's first clearance issue. My best idea is to protect the tank with a welding blanket and heat red hot where I want the bend and then stick a 2ft pry bar in there and see if I can get it...

First is putting the 96 XJ up on stands. Considering the weight of the engine and that there's no real frame under there, would it be risking bending the body to put the front of the truck up on stands? Doing a lot of front end work right now and I have both front wheels off and two stands...

Follow up... I ended up having to cut the bolt to the same pass UCA axle side bushing, and I'm concerned about clearance issues replacing it with a regular six-sided bolt. Did Jeep make the OEM bolt with that funny type of flag head because of clearance issues say when if the arm were to...

Been replacing all 4 control arms on the 96 XJ and to my amazement everything has gone well so far. Replaced the bottom 2 ok, and the driver side upper went in w/o too much trouble...so but now I'm into the upper arm on the passenger side. Pressing the bushing in on the driver side went ok...

I've ordered 4 new control arms only to find out they don't include the front bushings for the upper set, the one that has to be pressed out of the axle housing. I'd like to go with Moog part MOOG-K3128 which is a two bushing kit.. Front Upper Control Arm Bushing | Jeep Cherokee | MOOG but...

When I installed the smaller rear bushings they were much harder to get in, so since this is my first time doing this I assumed that a really tight fit was the norm. The set that was easier to get in don't really move or turn at all, is this a good enough fit maybe?

Been spending the past couple days cutting out and pressing in my first bushings and so far, well mostly good. Got the leaf springs off the 96 XJ and finally got all the bushings out. Pressed the smaller rear bushings in first and both went in using a 2 ft breaker bar and a ball joint...

SLOWLY is how it's coming. Although I did figure out how to get the shackles out by doing though. I've got a hitch installed which means the shackle to spring bolts (which were installed from the inside direction) won't slide all the way out after the nut is removed. So for leverage sake I'm...

Stock '96 XJ here and I'm in the middle of cranking out my leaf spring shackle bolts, for the first time, in 21 years. Intentions are to replace all 4 spring bushings and both shackles. So when I'm getting the rear of the leaf springs loose should I take out the upper shackle bolt first...

Thanks for the info. First I'm hearing about these unwanted side effects, although that sounds like a wise caution. What would be some of the anticipated problems?

Ok for sure I'll start checking on all those things. My thinking on the drive shafts is that since they turn at a different rate of the thumps it probably isn't them, but I honestly don't know. Although regardless i'll still check the driveshaft with a string like you suggest. How would I go...

Stock 96 XJ here and the old girl's had this problem ever since I bought her 11 years ago. There's a whump sound that matches exactly the rate of tire rotation and I have no idea what's causing it. Here's the facts ma'am... - It's been happening since before I got this recent set of tires...

I'm in a 96 XJ. For the 11 years I've owned her I've always sprayed the underside down better than the top side after road salt applications so I guess this got started sometime within the first 10 yrs. The truck was in the mtns of E KY for that time, and I doubt much was done about keeping...

What's this I've been reading on the fuel injector upgrade for the 4.0? I've had my 96 XJ since 2006 and had the same injectors all that time. It's always had a little misfire even after a tuneup so I figure I might as well try this upgrade, especially since I saw one report of it only costing...

Yeah I won't be surprised if a lot of that rocker panel has to come out.
