They must have grown legs and walked off .. I'll look one more time tomorrow, but I'm not very hopeful.

I know I have them , but I gotta find them .I'll keep you posted

Will do . I'll be staying at the campground , white 99 with cab lights

I'll be there some time Friday.. white 99 with cab lights

I do have the line , if you want it $10

I've got a few pairs of early taillights $30

I've got a 91 that I can rob the fuel line from .I'll check tomorrow and make sure .

I've had this event on my radar for a few years now. looking forward to meeting some other xj folks.

I've battled this a few times .. I usually melt the bushing with the torch enough to reach the sleeve with an air chisel.. between the chisel , wd40 and some vice grips I have never had to cut the bolts .. this way is very messy though .. also helps if the rest of the spring is free to be able...

When I built my bumper I put a 2" receiver and acquired a winch cradle. While I like not carrying the winch around all the time , I don't like the cradle. It sticks out way far and unless your jeep is really tall it will plow into the ground when nose down. If I had to do again I'd put the...

Orange filter ,NEVER! It's about 500 mi. Away from a service , so it won't totally piss me off to change the oil early. I've probably used 200 wix filters over the years and never had this issue. But not much suprises me with parts quality anymore. But I'm about positive now that the filter is...

I don't think my oil is the issue , I service both mine and my wife's xj the same . I have considered the mechanical gauge , allthough my experience with bad sending units have never acted like this . It's almost due for a service , the oil still looks nice and clean ( like usual). Like stated...
