Work at with a razor blade and I've never tried polish remover.
I've always mounted a drill with the remover wheel like a buffer in the vice and slowly worked the emblem till most of the backing is off moving it around to keep it cool.

The wheel is designed to remove that **** from paint. It makes it very easy. Just don't stay in one spot very long.

Engine: 4.0L H.O.
Default High Rev

I have a 99 XJ 4x4, 4.0L, with 217xxx on it, that seems to revving high, idling a little rough, and sometimes jumping when I hit the gas. I noticed it today when I was driving. The tachometer seems to be around 750rpm when idling and kinda sways between 500rpm and 1000rpm. When driving, it seemed to be high, around 2000rpm while going 60mph. And when I would hit the gas from a stop, every couple times, it would rev high really quick, but pull out slow, and then the rpms would drop and react normal. Any ideas on what could cause this?

~2000 RPM at 60 MPH is normal in overdrive.

For your wandering idle you should clean your IAC and TPS, as well as test the TPS.

It was the 4.5" superflex so i got just about everything ill need. Just possibly need some shims, gonna need bumpstops, and a front ds for the rear. And i think that'll be it.
