JohnQ Posted January 3, 2008 Share Posted January 3, 2008 I've changed mine three times now and I can do it in around 15 min. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Eagle Posted January 3, 2008 Share Posted January 3, 2008 I've done the '88 XJ once and the '88 MJ twice. The MJ took about a half hour each time. The XJ took an hour. The XJ still has the splash shield in place, so I had to work from above. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

DirtyComanche Posted January 3, 2008 Share Posted January 3, 2008 Takes about 5-10 on the MJ (probably less now), but on the XJ I had it took me about two hours... Stupid thing had A/C and a front skid. Better yet the front skid had been installed with SAE hardware (in metric pal nuts) and I had to cut it off after wasting a lot of time with less destructive methods (I hate front skids). So, if I'd budget a fair amount of time if you've never done it on that truck before. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
