I have a 99 and yes, the 98 Chilton manual for all practical purposes will be okay.

I have a Chilton manual but don't use it much anymore since buying an FSM (Field Service Manual). The FSM is much better than a Haynes or Chilton. A lot of times you can find the needed FSM on ebay....try browsing there. The FSM is much more detailed and more "specific" for your 1999. It's worth a few more bucks....

I checked, but nothing under FSM or Field Service Manual. I'm not looking to swap engines or anything too advanced, just maybe change oil, air filters, etc. Simple things. As my parents don't trust me doing repairs of any kind because I have no formal training except on a 1 piston lawnmower engine.

 

mine has a grand cherokee on the cover. You're better off with a haynes or FSM for a 99XJ

 

FWIW i love my haynes manual, has never failed me yet. best 16 bucks i have spent yet.

What does your front cover look like? With my Haynes it seems every time I need it for something I have to use the FSM instead because the Haynes is missing the "97+" instructions for what I'm doing.

 

here is the exact manual that i have.

Thank you for your help. I'm getting an FSM.

i have one in pdf format for a 2000 im sure you could use if youd like a copy

keep in mind that the sharing of FSM's is against JF's rules.
