Hmm.. Today I learned
I know one thing... Beer or wine served at room temperature can dictate what room temperature should be depending on demographics. lol

64°F is the highest allowable "room temperature" for serving most red wines. That's a holdover from before the days of central air

Yep, and beer served at room temperature depends on if you are in Germany or Phoenix Az. without central air. lol

Default How do I figure out how much to ask for my '91 XJ?

My jeep was brought here to Milwaukee area around 5 years ago from having been a street vehicle in CA since 1991 so mostly no rust except a little underneath. In good shape overall. I have no idea how to price this for sale. Anyone have suggestions on where to research this?

I plan to get an open radiator and I believe those don't have the plug for the coolant temp? Any help is appreciated. It's on a 1987 comanche so renix system.
I think that relay socket is for the fan controller relay. Just happened to be watching this video and at 5:28 he's talking about the fan controller relay which looks like it's in the same spot...

Default 99 jeep xj washer fluid resevoir help

bought my 99 XJ without a functioning washer fluid reservoir. Its in the fender flare and it doesn't seem to have any electrical connections or hoses to the jets. it also doesn't have the filler elbow at the top, looks like the previous owner pulled it off. Ive looked all over and cant find a new reservoir or the elbow with the filler cap on it. Junkyards near me also do not have my year xj so any help on this matter would be much appreciated. I'm sure there's no washer fluid in there and i don't get a light on on the dash.

Here's where you can get the pumps and fluid level sensor.

As far as the reservoir, I'll keep looking, but it's not looking good, man.

Well that helps, this guy really did a number on all the electrical stuff in this jeep. I'm basically going through and undoing all of his "fixes"... next two things on the list are fixing the front headlight/running light/turn signal harness and undoing all of the wire splices hanging everywhere from the tail light wiring harness. It has half of a trailer plug wires up and tons of butt connectors just hanging there.

Default droning at 120

Low droning sound at 120kph... starts around 110. Does not stop if speed increases... does not stop when thrown into neutral. Stops only when speed reduces below 110kph, reduces when speed drops below 120KPH. I have highway tires (Goodyear Wranglers 235/70/15 all weather).

Is it a concern? Where should I start looking?
