Thanks :cheers: . The ones I am using now are good - I just wishing for some stock blue ones :D

Anyone have the dark (1989) blue inner seat belts that work with the factory bucket seats that they would like to sell? I have been looking for years and I have not found any yet. I am using gray XJ ones now. Thanks - Rich

ON - White

:oops: So the poll didn't work, but for those of you who would have picked Halloween, you'd be correct. Okay, now let the flaming begin........... ! Why would anyone flame a guy when he is down :no: . I am nobody to you, but I am proud that you made it 5 weeks. Next time it will be 6 or 7 weeks. I am off to crack open a cold one :cheers:

:cheers: You always seem to have the solution to my problems - Thanks

Wow - Really nice! What was wrong with the original seats?

You would get my vote :thumbsup: Good Luck

Sorry to hear that Chico.

If you can make it past Halloween I will buy you a beer! If you punch Ben in the gut I will buy you a case. :cheers:

X3 - they have always been extremely generous with their knowledge and materials with me. I also had them tell me to hold onto the spare pilot bushings that they had sent; they were more concerned in helping me solve my problem! They are a fantastic company and I will be ordering again from them soon.

For ride quality: 1) V8 Sway Bar 2) RE 5.5 lift 3) AX15 swap Need to try out WJ Booster & rear disc brakes I guess :popcorn:

:agree: X 2 - Thank you!

I was driving through town a few weeks ago with the vent windows cracked open to keep me from getting heat stroke. As I am cruising along, a large bug hits the window and is deflected right into my chest. Oh crap - I hope it isn’t a bee. For the next 5 minutes I am looking everywhere for this thing, but I was not able to locate it. I get a big chuckle out of “what if” :yes: . About another five minutes into the ride I rest my arm on the center console and BAM!! I get tagged hard in the elbow. This was the biggest wasp I have ever seen and I am trapped inside with him. I kid you not, there is a cop right next to me and I almost clipped him. I pull over – he pulls over – I am freaking out like Chris Farley and David Spade in Tommy Boy. Actually, more like a fatter and shorter version of Chris Farley. The Po-Po sees that I now have a golf ball sized welt on my elbow and an eerie ability to channel the screams of a 12 year old girl. He quickly assesses the situation and decides that I have it handled. No kidding; it really hurt that bad. After this little experience, and the fact that I have not been able to keep the water from leaking into the cab from the vent windows, I have decided to try out the solid vent window for a while. I am going to try to get the originals to seal better while they are out. I went down to the P-N-P and grab a set of solid vent windows to install. The little bugger that lets wasps and rain into my cab -> The driver’s side one piece window I got from LQK -> Need to take off the interior piece to get to the one 10mm nut -> Two small screws on top -> The old vent window out -> Working the new window in -> Tada -> I like the look of the movable vent windows better, but I got to tell you I can see a lot more of the side mirrors now that they can’t be opened. I will have to roll with these for a while and see if I really want to go back??

:eek: :ack: OMG - how it manage that?

That is great to know :thumbsup: . I was worried about this pump because I only had one pre-90 option at the pick-n-pull. The resivoir did not look the same on the nicer/newer XJ's. Thank you - It had spent some time in CT :(

I was working on cleaning up my garage this afternoon when this little fellow stopped by to see what all the racket was about -> Critter and a MJ = :banana: I relocated the Gopher Tortoise to my friend’s 100 acre farm. I hate when these guys get run over. I still can’t figure out how he made it into my development :dunno: . At least he is safe now. :thumbsup:

My power steering pump has been howling for a while now, so I went to the LQK and picked up a used pump and reservoir -> I removed my old pump and picked up the high and low pressure PS lines from Napa -> I get the new used pump in and, while attaching the low pressure line to the reservoir, I manage to snap off the plastic nipple -> I am pretty ticked off at this point. Nobody in town had the pump and reservoir combo in stock, but they do sell just the rebuilt pump (just need to re-use the old reservoir). The new pump does not come with a pulley and I don’t have a pulley puller. I decided to see if I could remove my old reservoir and replace the broken one on the junk yard part. It is pretty simple to do. You just need to knock off two clips that look like this -> Lift up the locking clip with a small screw driver and tap them off. The Junk Yard pump attached to the old reservoir-> Tapping on the clip -> Both clips re-installed and ready to go in -> And installed -> Thank goodness the JY pump was good. It is nice and quiet now!

I guess I am in the minority on this one. I haven't seen the show, but it sounds like it could be cool. Cutting stuff is Kool, but it could be because I aint much smarter than a 10 year old :oops: .

:bowdown: That is good stuff.

I am not done with that yet, so I will check that out :thumbsup: .

Wow, it has been a while :yes: . I just got done with the majority of the swap this weekend. I am doing a write-up on it, but I will not be able to complete it until after my final on Monday. Not sure about the vent hose - I am no longer concerned over having one. I been running it for two days now and it has been great. This AX15 is a huge improvement over the BA10. I was considering getting a short throw shifter for it, but after driving it for a short while I don't believe it is necessary. It has a real tight shift pattern - night and day difference over the BA10. I will be updating my build-up page when the write-up is complete. It will mainly focus on the differences between the two transmissions & what I was not able to find in the other write-ups I had found. I have plenty of pictures to go along with it too

I was pretty upset at the amount of rust back then :( to the point I thought it was beyond repair. Looking back on it now - no big deal! I could probably fix it myself now too. :offtopic: I am almost done with my AX15 swap. Just waiting on a few more parts and I will be able to complete the write-up and share some of the things I have learned. TBC

Let us know how it works out :cheers:

Congrats on making the bolt yourself - nice. What are you going to use to glue the glass back in?
