Your speaker wires were probably severed in the door's dust boot. It's a very common problem, and you simply have to patch the speaker wire between the kick panel and the door speaker.

So every once in a while, on the passenger and driver side fronts there will be a little puddle of water (I have the carpets out right now), Obviously I am not in the Jeep when the water comes in so I can't pin point it. Any thoughts? I would really like to get the jeep water tight as possible. Let me know what you guys think.

RE: Poor Starting, Runs Rough at first
Killerb6--
Check all your vacuum lines, make sure none are cracked, leaking, disconnected, etc. My '95 XJ (4.0 NP231, AW-4) had very similar symptoms to those that you describe. It was driving me crazy until a friend of mine noticed that a vacuum line was cracked at a connection and it was sucking air. I cut the cracked part off the end of the line with a pocketkmife, plugged it back in, and "Presto!" --all symptoms disappeared.
"Start with the simple stuff first: fuel, air, spark."

Water Leak, Front Passenger Side Floor
cgmitche--
I have the exact same problem, and it's intermittent. The carpets on the passenger side floor pan will be soaking wet, the rest of the floor bone dry. WTF? I checked door gasket, windshield rubber, heater core, heater hoses, etc. It doesn't happen when I'm in the truck, only when it is raining and I'm not in the vehicle.
I'm going to pull the carpets, drill a couple of drain holes and shoot undercoating on the floor.

Replacing Upper Control Arms
Quick question. Would I be able to replace the upper control arms without affecting the position of the axle? I'm lifted 4 inches so I will be doing it with the wheels on the ground. And obviously I'll be doing the arms one at a time. My plan is to take out the passenger side UCA, put in a new one, tighten it up, take out the driver side UCA, put in the new one and tighten it up. Once again, tires will be on the ground the entire time so I wouldn't need an alignment afterwards would I?
