Check Engine Light
Mine has been on for months. My Ultra Gauge does not come up with any codes so I took it to a garage. He put his reader on it and got no codes. He cleared the light, but before I drove off his property it was back. Checked again, no codes.
Any thoughts.

Does the front sway bar on these XJs limit the wheels ability to turn out at the same time. (Pretend your hands are wheels, put them together, then rotate the tops out with the palms connected) so obviously that would be super bad, and the reason I'm asking is I know some dd without it, and I was talking to a family member about it and he said yeah that's a good way to do what I described with my hands. I looked at it and from my eyes I don't think so, I thought it would have been the track bar or tie rod due to their ability to change the alignment, making me think if they where not present the wheels would then be able to do that, I don't know, just looking for y'all's opinion?

Thanks salad, that's exactly what I thought, I just wanted to make sure I wasn't wrong before I spout off with my father... But seeing that I am, when he's in a better mood I'll explain it to him.

OK I'm looking at this progressive rate coils form PAC Racing and I'm not sure what spring rate to get. They offer 200 and 250 rate for 2" lift. Can someone help me out and explain how spring rate works on progressive rate coils?

bondo vs doing it right
Anything worth doing is worth doing right. I would weld myself. But heh, I love my jeep. (1988XJ-Original owner.)
1988 XJ Parking Brake?
When I pull on the parking brake lever it doesn't "click" anymore. It also will not stay up. I have "m.m'd" (Mickey Moused) a temp fix with a 4" piece of old shovel handle. But this is really annoying.
I have gone through all the online stores and cannot find even the name or part number for the lever or any or the parts that make sense to me. Can someone point me to a site, a member that knows this kind of thing, or even just list the parts I should check?
Thanks.

So, I'm going to take my XJ in for that recall at some point.. but I called to set up the appointment and they can only do it on week-days and will need it "all day" which is really inconvenient for me... so I want to make sure my cat is stock before I go through the trouble of getting an appointment set up... is there any way I can tell if mine is the one that came stock?
