This guy..Lol that would've been cool to have. Also. My other issue is my intermittent wipers only have one speed and last a couple more swipes after turning off. Did some research but answers seem vague. 93 XJ country 4.0

What do you think the previous owner had mounted here? (front passenger). The silver thing is one of those threaded insert thingies.

Hey guys. I just bought my first Xj, kinda broke know. But still wanna do little stuff here and there. What you guys think of these fog lights ?
http://www.ebay.com/itm/380646215759...84.m1423.l2649
Also my rear end sags alot. It has just spacers in the rear ( i think 3'', but it sags to like 2'' ), so is there such thing as 4'' spacers ?

1 - Those lights pretty much suck. You'd be way better off with some cheap lights from Walmart that cost about the same thing.

2 - You want to get rid of the 'spacers'. They're called 'Blocks' and are most likely the reason that you springs are worn out.

Remove the blocks and replace the entire leaf pack.

Is a hissing brake booster normal when pedal is depressed? Every time I depress the pedal and hold it there's a constant whooshing sound like a leak or something. Is that normal?

Could that explain my weak brakes?

I've replaced everything but the booster and they still are pretty bad.

Sounds like a vacuum leak and that's where the sounds coming from. How are the vacuum lines? Booster to manifold etc

All vacuum lines are fine. I think maybe the diaphram inside the booster is getting old.
