    KYB shocks in Longmont

    One pair of front KYB Gas a just shocks recently removed from my 99 Cherokee. They're in perfect condition and have less than 250 highway miles on them. Part # KG464. I had an opportunity for a cheap upgrade to more expensive shocks so these guys need a new home. I'll take 40.00 if you come...

    Hitch is installed. Yes, it is necessary to remove the rear bumper and the bumper brackets to get access to the frame in order to install new nut strips. The stock nut strip on the passenger side is held in place with two rivets. The rearmost one can be accessed and drilled out with little...

    Heater Valve Access

    I ordered a Heater Treater kit at the end of January. The tracking number shows that package shipped a few days later and that's the last anyone saw of it. Heater Treater did not insure the package and when I asked them to step up and ship another kit until the first one could be found they...

    I like the fact the the wiring isn't exposed to the weather when not in use.

    Thanks for that. Bumper is almost removed. The nuts holding the upper portion of the bumper are 15mm. Yes, a ratcheted open end and lots of PB Blaster are your friend. Removing the end cap involved unbolting the 10mm nut and bolt on the outer corner of the cap. The fastener on the bottom of...

    The nutstrips are here. They look well made and I'll soon know about the fit. It looks like I need to remove the bumper end caps to get at the upper nuts on the bracket. Getting a wrench in there looks to be challenging. It would help a lot if I knew what size those nuts are. Anyone? I'll spray...

    Is this the beginning of the dreaded death wobble???

    New tires and a replacement steering damper completely eliminated mine. I always have the alignment checked with new front tires too.

    Nut strips ordered. I am told that it will be necessary to remove the back bumper to install the strips. I'll search that process but will appreciate any descriptions. I need a 2" tongue for my new trailer hitch and yesterday I found one lying in the street. :clap:

    Okay, if I understand correctly, I use the passenger side nut strip and order a nut strip for the driver side. I haven't crawled under there yet so I'm asking, how is the nut strip installed in the frame rail? I also know that the passenger side nut strip is a metric size and the new one will...

    I've searched a number of threads here on the topic of installing a hitch but didn't get a clear idea of the hardware I'll need. I bought a Valley Industries Class III on Craig's List. Came with no hardware. Looking beneath my 99 XJ I see the nut strip on the passenger side and just holes on...

    Heater Valve Access

    Both hoses from heater core hot and equal in temperature. I wish the core was plugged, that would be an easier fix. The XJ is listed on the Heater Treater web page.
