Sideways99

i'm guessin what you're trying to say is if the rear end will match up out of the donor. the axle will swap no problem its the gears you need to be sure of. take the vin# from both rigs to local jeep dealer to get the build sheets and compare rearend ratios if they match get er done

would I be able to swap a 98 grand cherokee in-line 6 in my 98 xj?

Sideways99

one more question, what would be the best size shock for a 6.5" lift?

I pulled the switch cluster apart in my 96 xj. Before I did this all windows except the drivers worked. I tried to put the switches back together but now nO windows work. Anyone know if it matters which way the switches are put in? Would a dealer build sheet have this? Don't want to bypass anything as all switches are good, just need to put them back correctly. The window lock switch does have an arrow on it so I think I have it correct. Is it necessary to connect the metal plate holding all switches if I just need to roll up rear for now since all other windows are controlled through this plate? I can't just stick a switch in the spot for the left reAr window and have it work, they have to be linked together and I don't remember how I took them out. Help please, rain soon in GA. Thanks

My guess is you damaged the ground. Get everything put back together (including the metal plate) and try again.

Check to see of you have continuity between "D-X" and a good ground.

Are you getting power to them with the key on at point "B-Y"? If not check the fuse and the wiring.

Ok will try

Hey all..just wanna do a quick survey if u will....4" lift, shackle relocation kit, and 2" spacers..with some 33's...does that sound like something for smooth ride, nice flex and dependable...or would it be better with something straight up like a 5.5" full kit..?

I'm getting the smell of gas in my xj real bad. I smelt the carpet in the back and it has a bad stench of fuel. Do I have some sort of leak on the top of the tank or?? Any help will be appreciated thanks

Removed my fender flares today and also removed what i call the plastic inner fender parts. ???? After removing plastic on the front I noticed that it opened up the area around the door hinges. What is the best way to seal this back up, reuse plastic, fab something, ?????. Thanks

An easy and inexpensive way that many do lol...get a pool noodles cut to right length and shove it back there...i also painted mine black to make it less noticeable, but it works perfect....

Well if you arnt putting em back in you can cut them and just screw a piece covering. Plus that tough stuff that expanding foam for windows an stuff works well.

^^^ This

By far the cheapest and best solution due to it's ability to flex with the unibody
