Will alloy rims from a 2000 Wrangler fit on a 1998 XJ? I don't know anything about backspacing, etc.
My XJ steelies look awful (PO primered over the rust)
What is a fair price to pay for 4 used Wrangler OEM alloy rims? With 50% tires on them..

So, I'm going to find new OEM rims before I mount new tires on crappy old rims.

I think I told you wrong about the front shocks, I think they actually are a nut and bolt on the bottom instead of a bolt in a tapped hole. I'll check in the morning and let you know.

200-400 depending on what brand and size tires.

So I know that 3.07 is my gears, but what does the 1473 tab mean? Is that just a lot number for the axle?

They are the little tabs of my rear differential, which is a Chrysler 8.25

Yupper. All TJ, YJ, ZJ, and MJ rims are 100% interchangeable. (one exception is TJ Rubicon which had an option for 16" rims, but they still fit, just a different tire size) The rims you pictures are called "Ecco" and came on late model XJs as well.

There can be a lot of reasons for this. When was your last tune-up? Spark plugs, wires, distributor cap, rotor, oil, oil filter, air filter? Really can't be neglected.

If all that stuff is fresh and quality, I'd start examining sensors like the TPS and MAP and spot a temperature gun at the catalytic converter.

You're going to need to tell us some information about your Jeep though. Year, engine, transmission, history, etc. Do you have a 1984 4cyl carbeurated? 2001 4.0 distributorless? 1993 2.5L diesel? Manual? Automatic? Any maintenance ever been done? Does this happen in gear, at a certain speed?

Anyone have a wireing diagram for the drivers door power locks and windows for a 4dr 88 xj.

My drivers window does not have power, used to work intermittent when slowly opening the door in and out. But now theres no actions when using the driver window switch.

Probably broke a wire in the 'accordion' between the door and body. Common cause of speaker failure.

After my recent go around, fixed it Tuesday night, the wiring for your door window is somewhat easy to trace. Take the drivers' door panel off, reach in and unplug the wiring harness from the window motor and check to see if you have 12 volts when you push the window button. I found it easier to do if you remove the 3 screws and remove the window/door lock controls from the panel and plug it back in. This way you are not fighting the door panel the whole time.

If you have the proper voltage, it is your window motor. I had the same issue with my rear windows recently, not as recent as the door locks.

Went to the JY pulled and bought two complete rear power window mechanisms from a 2000 XJ. Replaced them and now all is good.

If you don't have the proper voltage, then start on the wiring. I will dig around, I have the wiring diagram somewhere.
