If not, i can't imagine what it was used for. it's too small for any type of switch - the hole is a little smaller than a dime.
Just curious, but any thoughts about why this hole is here?

yeah, i guess a toggle switch would work! I was picturing a more heavy duty switch, but a toggle looks like it would fit perfectly.
Is there any reason to use a toggle switch with a CB? i'm just guessing that's what it was used for with the aftermarket antena mount on the roof.

Then after a few seconds ill hear and feel a clank/click coming from either the engine or tranny and it will rev extremely high because it is going to where it should have been with the throttle in that position. I will then let off the gas and everything will be fine. Is this problem still fixable by replacing the tps and cleaning the iac or do I have a bigger problem on my hands? If it is a problem with the tranny I'm not that worried cause I got one in the garage that is going in in a few weeks. Thanks!

Any of you other guys run rear air shocks on your rigs? My rear is mono leaf with only one spring. If I put even 100 lbs back there it squats. Ive been looking at the firestone air bags but would rather have a shock. I'm just having trouble finding one long enuf.

How much are jeep canyon wheels going for? I have 235 Laredo tires on them with maybe 40% tread left. Tread is worn a little more on the outsides. There is a plug in 2 tires, but all tires hold air very well. Lot of miles left I'm sure.

I have two questions.
1: I have a 4" lift now, thought about getting a spacer to get a little higher. As far as I know if I go any higher I will have to get longer arms and what not, am I correct???
And 2: who got the XJ picture game closed :/
