That's an awesome idea! Thank you. Did you do the U-Bolts first, then the two frame mount bolts?

I have a question about safely removing S10 leaf springs at the junkyard, which I've never done before. I'm hoping to do a junkyard lift on my '91 XJ. I received my Rusty's 3" HD coils for the front yesterday. And I was hoping to start the bastard pack today. My son and I found 6 possible...

Turned out to be the ignition switch on the top of the steering column. I replaced it tonight and so far the Jeep starts every time. Thanks again for all the comments.

Great info. Thank you! So, I replaced the starter and cleaned and tightened every connection in the starter circuit, put it all back together and the problem persists. Even though the starter tested good, I replaced it anyway because whoever previously replaced it stripped the threads on...

I just now got back from having the starter tested. It tested good. I'm about to clean the starter connections and reinstall it. Then I'll check all the ignition circuit connections that I can ... focusing on the ground connections. If the problem persists, I'll have the new battery tested...

Yeah, that's what I'm thinking, but I'll check all the grounds and connections as suggested to be safe.

Yes. I put a breaker bar on the crank shaft. Thankfully the motor turns freely.

Thanks for the responses! The battery's ground cable is new. I also replaced the positive and negative terminals on both battery cables. The positive cable could be severely corroded under the insulation. I didn't think of that one. I will check the positive battery lead, the starter...

Hi All, This morning I started my '91 XJ then shut it off. Now it won't start. I turn the key forward and the motor does one (1) short crank. I turn the key off, and again one (1) short crank, but it sound like a reverse crank. Here's a short video of what's happening...

Awesome. I will give that a try thank you! Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

I'll double check, but I think this is a discontinued part Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

Does anyone know where I can get a Fin Sensor Cycling Clutch Switch? I tried to pull two from XJs at a local salvage yard, but they both broke. The wire gets pulled from the copper tube when the tube snaps off the sensor casing. This is the Fin Sensor Cycling Clutch Switch in the heater box...

Thanks for the replies! I did finally figure it out. There are no fog lights mounted. But there was a single, small spot light mounted on the driver side roof rack that I ripped off when I got the Jeep home. The tan and black wire came up out of the cowl and ran across the windshield to the...
