Hey guys anyone have these lights? If so wants the wire gauge size to the switches? I'm process of redoing my headliner right now and going to install the switches into my overhead console for them since these lights will be my roof lights but I don't have the money for the lights yet but I can get wire cheap and I want to run the wire for the switches while the headliner is out. Thanks

Finally got the brake disc off. Made quick work disassembling everything else. The u joint didn't want to budge so I just picked up a new axle from the parts store. Swapped that on and put everything back together. Now the wheel doesn't want to turn and I have no brakes. The wheel bind I think might be due the the cv set up that the axle shaft now has or the abs ring. The brakes have me stumped though. I didn't break any line seals and it is full of fluid but the pedal now just goes to the floor. Also what is the thread pitch/size of the caliper mounting bolts? My one has fubared threads.
So much for getting this thing back together for work tonight.
About ready to just unload the money pit.

Tow / Tow Package - follow up - retail cost est.
Well before everyone here goes crazy, our xjs are an inline, or I, 6 not a v-block 6. 
and as for a tranny cooler yes def get one If you're looking to tow. As for prices off hand I can't answer that but probably a few hundred close to a grand possibly. Oh and If you ever overheating just open windows and turn your heat all the way up to the floor setting. Our jeeps can handle some overheating situations as long as the heat is on and your fans are going strong

They claimed the hitch (a genuine Jeep hitch, that is) was not showing in their system as available anywhere. Because of that they couldn't quote it. Based on the prices I've seen for 'plain vanilla' hitches, and factoring labor, my guess at cost would be near a grand out-the-door.

Question for anyone that's modded their bumper, does not having the air dam affect your driving? I'm debating if I'm gonna put mine back on my new bumper, I'd rather not
