I'm not sure how one "readjusts" a disc brake system...but, the front calipers on my '00 XJ occasionally stick. The slide points on the caliper and mounting bracket has worn a groove. The caliper often gets hung up in the groove. Unless either the caliper or bracket are replaced the hung...

Live Free or Die! Don't need a helmet either. :gee: Yeah, but now it's illegal to text with more than one hand, while driving :paperwork Fran

Try this snowplow forum: http://www.plowsite.com/forumdisplay.php?f=54 Scroll down and look for the " Let's see some Jeep pictures" thread. Fran

I'm guessing flashing white lights are illegal just about everywhere in the states, except for LEO's and emergency response vehicles. Here's snowplow forum on strobe light and backup light setups: http://www.plowsite.com/forumdisplay.php?f=73 Fran

I had a recent problem with the intermittent part of the sweep function. It would sweep 20 degrees, stop, sweep some more, stop, over and over again. It would take about 30 to 45 seconds to make one sweep. The wash & wipe cycle would work OK. I ended up switching the gray and brown wires at the...

When I bought my XJ used a few years ago, it had a large windshield air leak on passenger side. I brought it to the glass shop the dealer used and they pumped in sealant. The air noise was reduced, but not eliminated. The dealer agreed to replace the seal at the glass shop. The glass shop...

It does have some weight. That, alone, must decrease the mileage some. :rolleyes: Fran

thebrick is correct here. Fog lights will be useless for what you want to do. My factory fog lights won't outshine my low beams. You need DRIVING lights for what you want to do (throw a lot of light up ahead were the deer are...that was my goal). I mounted Hella 700FF (larger than Hella...

If your XJ is a '99, you can't tow it on a dolly unless you remove the rear driveshaft. Read the manual. It must be flat towed with the TC in neutral and the tranny in park. Towing with a strap may be illegal in many states (especially 15 miles). Fran

X2, I use it on my Porsche's exhaust. Works great to eliminate leaks!! Fran

I have Hella 700FF mounted on my front bumper like above, but pushed further towards the bumper over-rides. The 700's are much larger in diameter than the 500's. There is plenty of room behind them for adjustment. Fran

Don't rely on the dry nor wet weight. Use the GVWR (4500 for this camper). You still need to pack all your stuff and gear!! The weight adds up fast. With your brake, cooler and RP upgrades you should be OK after you add the brake controller and weight distributing hitch with sway control...

Dest, I tow my '00 XJ behind my motorhome on all four tires (dinghy towing or Toad). I use magnetic lights on the XJ for signal/brakes. I don't use a braking system in my XJ, because the combined weight of the MH and XJ is less than the GVWR of the MH alone (I am within the safe brake design...

I mounted my Hella 700FF on top of the bumper of my '00 XJ. Make sure "TOP" on the lense is UP. I also installed 100 watt bulbs, so far no melting!! Like many have said, USE A RELAY!!. I interconnected mine to the high beam circuit so the Hellas only come on when my high beams are on. My...

Try this company. I bought my 700FF from them. They are located in the same city as Hella Corp and sell new & returned lights. http://cgi.ebay.com/ebaymotors/Hella-500-Driving-Lamps-Lights-Single-Replacement_W0QQitemZ270233518000QQihZ017QQcategoryZ33709QQssPageNameZWDVWQQrdZ1QQcmdZViewItem...
