SYE is the way to go.

Really? What would it be then?XJ went to HO in '89. Scratch that, I was wrong.

'90 XJ won't be Renix.

I think this thread had good intention but is probably more harmful than helpful at this point. :doh: Agreed.

Either the nut backed off, or collapsed lifter.

Don't trust it.

Get a cheap digital volt meter to check it. Should have 13.5 to 14.5 at an idle.

Body repairs are done, as of Saturday. It took half the time to make repairs as it did for the insurance to pay off. 4x4 swap will be next.

Check bulbs and grounds.

Before and after...

I got the MJ hooked up to my Smittybilt XRC 9.5K unibody straightener this evening.

If you're looking at the bumper on the XJ, that's an ARB. Photobucket is having issues or I'd post pics of my ZJ bumper he built. He has only does local work, fits them up on the vehicle, then removes to finish weld.

Decided new marker and parking lights were needed. Also found matching black pieces that the marker lights fasten to. Not bad, about $65 shipped, all are new.

Drivers side fender swapped. My original black grill survived. Passenger side fender on

A little more hammered persuasion... Ended up with this.

Started working on getting metal massaged back into shape today. This was after the initial hammer session. Still needed work.

First click on the switch is parking lights. Headlights should not be on. Dimmer switch is on the left side of the column. Pull it towards the wheel to switch between high and low beam. Turn signals could be bad ground, bad flasher, or bad switch. My money is on the ground.

I have 3 Jeeps, 3 VW's, and 3 kayaks. I really need to finish building the Thing.

MJ's and VW's, hard to beat...

How about having to open the hood to fill up? My '66 VW...

Damaged front passenger side bumper mount

Fender test fit

structural damage. Easy fix.

Fenders removed from the donor.
