Ok, so my 2000 has a vibration starting around 55 mph. It gets worse as the speed is increased. Doesn't appear to be a wheel-bearing, so I am thinking maybe a U joint? Any ideas?

I'm gonna hit up the local 4WheelParts store tomorrow and see if they have any magic. If not, I'll just avoid full lock until I trim my fenders more, and then I can adjust them with the stock bolt.

I've a 91 4.0 I6 XJ.
My husband swears its the HO but I thought the HO wasn't in production til 92.
I have the Power/Comfort trans toggle as well, which I have read was there until 92 when they started putting the HOs in them.
Am I wrong?

I believe you are correct about the years. Mine also says it right on the back

From different threads I've seen on here the HO is basically in 'Power' mode at all times, so the Power/Comfort toggle wouldn't be there & would be unnecessary.
Other than the emblem & the toggle, what else can I look for to determine if I have the HO or not?
