tech Qs should really go in the tech forum so more eyes will see it. also, why does that green w/stripe wire no longer going into the connector?

there are several options in the link in my sig

welcome to the club! but we need way more info. stick? auto? year? do you have the transfer case?

wow! that was one crusty connector! Jeep really screwed up putting so much ampage through that switch. 'tis a project we all should do plus I would add in the relay mod and then live worry free

good stuff!

97_+ is real close. takes a bit of trimming and the mounting is a bit off. but it's been done before and it comes with cupholders! check the DIY link in my sig. there should be a thread on it.

can members add "tags" to other people's thread titles or only your own?

moving over to the Epic Tech forum.

terribly sorry, I was typing faster than my brain and so mushed some thoughts together. the windshields are essentially just glued in place so yes, if you get a new one, they will reglue it. (check for rust while it's out!) the late model XJs used a 1 piece rubber moulding gasket trim thing that replaces all the metal trim. it is a good upgrade and will help keep water out, but yes, the glue is the important part that seals things.

you should definitely not listen to me and you should definitely try and give it every chance of being reusable, but... I don't even pretend anymore. the studs are made of some weak crappy metal and I've had them snap on rust free trucks. and so I've found the 20v 1/4" impact gun makes quick work of snapping off the studs.

If you jack up one front tire and spin it, what happens? If it doesn't spin, jack up the other front tire and try again. then what happens?

you'll never regret that stock boxes were never made for 37s

were you in 4wd? when was the last time you were in 4wd?

is your truck at stock height?

I edited it again with an embedded link I do love watching that race it never gets old.

damn straight! I need to figure out how to get back to Colorado.

aftermarket steel rims will push the tires out more than stock rims so you'll need to be careful about that backspacing number if you're stock height.

oh, didn't think of those. I should have asked, are you asking about the drip rail covers or the vent shades?

that seems... odd. how does the steering feel? turns lock to lock ok? how do the track bar brackets look? has this shop done many alignments on a solid axle vehicle?

good deal! I'll take 2!

seems nicely done.

love it! very well done

love it! when you're done, can you put together a DIY thread? lots of guys are looking for fuel pump/tank alternatives.

what is wrong with the steering box? is is very common for the track bar or steering linkage to go south and make it feel like a bad box.

not that I know of for an MJ, but Omix-Ada seems to make new SS drip mouldings for an XJ.
