My '88 MJ:
I had to jump and forcibly kick my breaker bar with a 3' cheater pipe at least a dozen times to get my lower shackle bolts and front leaf bolts off. Upper shackles bolts weren't quite as bad on mine.
Much lighter

But no, my heater/air blower fan doesn't work. Guess this is why!
Thank you!

I could be wrong. I forgot that one of the 4 spade connectors was offset. Your connector has all four in a straight line. That and the short line makes me think that it's not for the resistors. At least you know that you're looking for a male 4) spade inline connector within the range of the wire. Good Luck!

Looking to replace the hood and passenger fender and pick up some extra doors for my GFs 99 2 door. I found someone parting out an older white 2 door. I'm almost positive the doors, hood and cowl will work but I'm not sure about the fenders.
Does anyone know if an early body style fender will bolt up and match her new body style?

I know the old body style cowl and hood are identical, she has them on there now.
The doors are slightly different but people with old body style doors swap to new ones alot so i was assuming they're backwards compatible.
Had no clue about the fenders though since they meet up with the header panel that's completely different, yet still swapable.
Unfortunately the parts jeep is a state away or I would just go there and match everything up

On another note, my power locks and overhead lamps stopped working the other day. Power windows, and dash lights work though.
Any ideas?

No, I don't lick fish.
I wouldn't say "they're all the same" but, yes universal power steering fluid of your choice is fine. I personally like prestone. Just don't buy ps fluid specific to a manufacturer unless it's a Chrysler brand.... even then, i would just stick to the universal stuff.
