I'd check all the vacuum lines, the cat, the injectors, change the plugs and oil... I haven't had an XJ fail an emissions test... so I'm kind of at a loss... I've had plenty of SJ's fail though... vacuum/plugs/wires and oil helped... but they all had carbs... hopefully someone else will pop up and say XYZ sensor is dirty or something like that... :) john Loeb Soldan wrote: > My 87 XJ, 4.0L just failed smog (passed a year ago).

I know, no 44-inch tires, no chrome, no 24-inch lift, no shiny paintjob, no fancy 60K rig...still, it may have what it takes to compete. I also happen to believe that the driver & crew may be a factor in the competition as well. Sure enough, as soon as we entered Top Truck Challenge, the folks from Four Wheeler came up with a new competition better suited for us, called Real Truck Challenge...too late, we had already entered Top Truck. We don't care, we just want to compete. And compete we will. I am determined to do very well or break a lot of parts trying. Either way, we will put on a decent show, I guarantee it. My rig has been around for a while, I have competed in national rockcrawling events over the years (yes, in a Cherokee) and I have loaded it with a lot of the right stuff. A stroker-6, coolers for everyhting, 35-splines inner & outers, high pinion Dana 60s, beadlocks, skidplates, gears, etc, etc, I won't bore you with details, just know it works. Some of you have 'wheeled with me d know the rig's capabilities well. I am just asking you to vote for us when you get your next copy of Four Wheeler Magazine, due out in a week or so. You have to cut out the page, fill it out with ten entrants of your choice, including us. Tell your friends. Buy extra nagazines. Call me or email me and ask me to send you a copy! I was told we may be the only Cherokee in the competition this year, so this is a bigger incentive to get voted in and represent Cherokees everywhere! You can see some pictures of my rig here: http://www.wagoneers.com/XJ/rigs/DanStarc-89XJ/ALL2-pix.html http://www.wagoneers.com/XJ/rigs/DanStarc-89XJ/ALL-pix.html http://www.wagoneers.com/XJ/rigs/DanStarc-89XJ/DansXJ-Feb3-2004/ALLpix.h tml This is a friend's website and he was nice enough to post them for me. Please forward this email along to all your friends! Don't be shy. Thanks for reading this, and if you also vote us in, double thanks! Take care and hopefully you'll see us competing this year.
