    Highbeam not working - Any thoughts

    Actually it is located on the stalk in many older XJs. I had to replace mine about a year ago (i think I used the switch from a '93?). Not sure about a '96 though, you're probably right...

    Gas tank fix: JB Weld? Where to find hanger bolts??

    Thanks guys but If the tank doesn't leak I'm pretty sure I'm putting it back on. Its not the cost factor I'm too worried about, just the time factor. Pulling the tank really wasn't a big deal and if it doesn't leak tommorow and I can find some hanger bolts (will check the local Auto Value)...

    Gas tank fix: JB Weld? Where to find hanger bolts??

    Tank on my '87 XJ started leaking bad lately and pulled it tonight to find that it had quite a few pinhole leaks in it (from rust) Tank is only rusted where the straps are to hold it up. I know a guy who used JB-weld on his F250's tank and said its holding up fine. Good temporary fix? I have...

    wierd THUNK tranny mount?searched

    I've got a similar clunk too. Pretty sure my Trans mount is shot. How much do they run at a parts store? Can you even get them there or is it a stealership thing?

    rear wiper spray gun

    Teh heh This post caused me to be without tail-lights, parking-lights, and instrument lights for 2 days along with about 3 hrs of labor and 10+ blown 10W fuses! Read it and thought I'd go out and try to "fix" my rear wiper sprayer, I got it to work, but later on lost the lights because of a...

    What is your XJ used for?

    My '87 with 172K is mostly a DD with occasional trail use. I bought it as a smashed up stocker a couple years ago - 31's and 5" lift on stock gears that need to be upgraded, homeade front bump, extra lights, D44, and some other junk. I don't usually have time to wheel but I usually go all out...

    Starter Testing?

    Simply unbolting your + battery cable at the soleniod and bolting it directly to the starter motor terminal on the starter soleniod should get the starter to jump when 12V are applied correct?? I think my starter finally kicked the bucket today. Nothing happens at all when I try jumping it...

    Cruise Control - works great - but how to adjust sensitivity?

    Renix XJs cruise sensitivity can be adjusted by the yellow box under the dash below the steering wheel... I've never messed with mine so I couldn't tell you exactly how to do it.

    S10 leaf pack questions?

    Really depends on how much lift you are looking to get? I bought a new set of S-10 leafs to do my rear packs and only used the longest leaves and left out the fat over load and the next bigger one. Also reused a couple of my xj leaves and got a good 5+" of lift. Rides firm, no need for the...

    grinding from front end

    I would definatly say it sounds related to your brakes. I'd put a set of new pads on and go from there if i was you. Good luck.

    Forgot to reinstall dust shield..needed?

    Back to the top. I just beat the crap out of mine today using a chisel to get hubs off. I don't really want to put them back on. I have another set but they are rusty. Anyone else taken them off or have anything to add? Negative effects?
