Thanks for the thread! I use my XJ for fishing trips, and winter driving. I just got in on the road for the winter here in Minnesota after not having driven it all summer, and noticed the sagging door that I had forgotten about. Now that I think about it, I remember when it is -30F here...

I just installed Rancho 5000's all around, on a Rusty's 3" AAL. The ride is really rough, and the improvement on washboard seems minimal over those supplied by Rusty's years ago. Yes, they are properly installed. I just expected them to be more responsive. IMHO, they are really only good at...

All 4 of mine broke off. After trying to drill, extract, re-tap, and all that tedious stuff, I used the air hammer to knock off the captive nuts method--it worked great! It took me maybe one minute to blast off all 4 nuts. Used new 10-9 bolts, nuts and washers, very easy. I bought the air...

260k on 1994! no engine, tranny, or transfer case work except rear seal on tc. bought it with 242k on it!!!!!!!!!

Thanks for the input, it is very much appreciated. When you speak of a draw from the battery, what would really be happening would presumably be a drain from the battery, hence the progressively weaker starts and eventually no start, due to a drop in voltage and a resultant loss in current...

Greetings, new member here. Have been reading the forum for some time trying to get rid of DW. Recently, I've found that I get weaker and weaker starting, until the starter won't even turn at all, and the solenoid doesn't click. I had the battery tested, it was not too bad, but I bought a new...
