What rubber seal? THe XJ and MJ windshield is glued in. 97+ XJ window seals are rubber. Like stated above the glued in one's break pretty much every time. The 97+ XJ windshields can be removed without breaking the glass but it ruins the rubber seal. I didn't see a year on the donor so I guess when I read it I assumed it was a 97+ donor. No, they aren't. That rubber gasket is just trim, it's not the seal. The seal is still the urethane bead that the glass gets set into.

Anti-seize is good. Just remember that anti-seize qualifies as a thread lubricant, so reduce specified torque by approximately 20 percent.

Get a Prius then. :rotfl2: Can I fit 33s and full-size axles under a Prius?

Unless they're Patriots, or Compasses, or Grand Cherokees, or Fiats. It's even difficult to think of the current Wrangler as a Jeep, when the front axle needs hundreds of dollars worth of reinforcing just to be able to mount bigger tires and go off-road.

For the 1987, the range is 0 to 88 ohms. I believe 0 is cold and 88 is hot. I don't remember if the FSM provides values for points in between. Out of curiosity, how are you reading 100 degrees on the gauge? The scale is not linear, and I don't think there's an enumerated point for 100 degrees.

Of course it was a factory setup. The two bolts for holding the license plate are still there, just below the light.

Finding 3.54 gears for a Dana 44 is a walk in the park. EVERYONE has gears for the Dana 44.

No, I have not. I have noticed that after closing my browser, and re-opening it, and opening the bookmark to this page, I need to log in again. I have not noticed this behavior on other sites that I visit. That happens to me on my notebook, but not on my desktop computer. Both Windows 7, both running Firefox browser. There's a reason why we call them thangs "confusers."

The transfer case will work, but I share the advice to swap both your axles to get a better ratio. XJ axles out of any 4.0L automatic should be 3.54 ratio, which is a lot more civilized than 3.07.

No. The BA 10/5 was phased out early in the 1989 model year. Most '89s had the AX-15, and all '90s had the AX-15.

Those same centers fit a couple of other wheel styles.

It does depend on what you want to get out of it. Here in the northeast, the truckers still us CB, so it's useful to know where the radar traps are, as well as accidents and delays down the road. Plus if you're driving at night and getting sleepy, often you can find a similarly sleepy trucker who's willing to talk to a 4-wheeler just to help him stay awake. But for reaching out long distances (meaning more than 5 or 10 miles, depending on terrain), ham is much better.

That won't prevent the problem from recurring. Eliminating the express down will help. Of course, a valet could still just mash the down button until the window stops by itself -- or he might be lazy and just roll it down halfway go get some air flow. Maybe I'll just put a strip of duct tape over the controls ...

Why not just buy a CB radio? They aren't expensive, and you don't need a top-of-the line unit for a road trip. Also consider that many states have laws prohibiting the use of cell phones when driving, but CB radios are still largely not addressed..

I know about that repair, but that's not what happened to mine. My wife apparently used auto-down regularly, and the repeated crash stops at the bottom finally broke the bond between the glass and the regulator frame.

I'll have to dredge up the wiring diagram. The switch itself has a detent -- I was thinking if I replace it with a switch that doesn't have a detent, that might be the answer. Good idea on looking for a third wire -- I need to open up the door to see why that speaker doesn't work anyway, so maybe I can do both.

1988 red is Colorado Red, and it should still be available.

Don - That looked promising -- until I realized the same circuit breaker also handles the power locks. I don't kow that the valets lock the doors when they park the cars, but I hope they do and I wouldn't want to disable it. I think I'm going to look into replacing the driver's window switch with one that doesn't have the auto down feature.

That video makes it look like the upper shifter handle just easily pops off the lower part of the lever. NOT SO. It's REALLY on there. I've tried separating them in a vise and couldn't do it. The shop foreman at my dealership told me there was a special tool for the job, but they never used it at the dealership and they eventually threw it away to make room for newer tools in the tool crib.

Not for an MJ -- for my late wife's 2000 XJ Classic. The XJ has power windows, and the driver's window has an "express down" function -- push the switch all the way, and the window goes all the way down even if you release the switch. It's supposed to stop at the bottom. My wife used the express down a lot -- and the auto-stop must be out of adjustment, because eventually the glass came loose from the channel. I epoxied it back and it's been working ever since, but I'm careful not to use the express down function -- I always stop the window before the glass disappears completely into the door. Recently I've had to spend a lot of time at the local VA hospital. Parking there is non-existent so, against my better judgment, I've had to use their valet parking service. Even though I left a sign in front of the speedometer today "DO NOT USE WINDOW CONTROLS," when the valet brought the vehicle out for me ... the driver's window was all the way down. I'm sure he used express down. So I need an easy way to disable the power windows. If anyone is familiar with the 2000 XJ electrical harness, is there some accessible location where I can splice in a kill switch that will disable power to the windows with a flip of a switch?

There is a difference. It's in the offset from the rear mounting surface of the ears to the outer surface that the rotor mounts to.

I missed the important fact that this is a '97 conversion. I just had my late wife's 2000 XJ die in the middle of the road after having been stopped for about ten minutes while I met a guy to sell an old laptop computer. Had it towed home and, 45 minutes later, it started right up. No codes. I talked to the shop foreman at the dealership (he's a long-time friend) -- turns out, the CPS doesn't throw a code when it goes tango uniform.

The resistance test is to be run at operating temperature, and I've never been able to determine how the people who wrote the FSM expect you to get the CPS to operating temperature if the engine won't start. The better test is the actual output from the CPS, which can be tested when cranking. Your symptoms definitely sound like CPS. I know they are susceptible to heat soaking -- that is, the performance deteriorates as the sensor heats up.
