Heres my solution to the lack of cup holders in older XJ's.
Just a standard water bottle holder for a bike. All switches are usable with no interference. And it beats the plastic one u buy from the dealer. That i'm assuming would break if it was bumped at anything below freezing. Hey and it doesn't look to bad when its holding a drink and its +100F out

I kinda feel like a nerd posting pics of my old XJ since I had to sell it to start my business but I put my heart and soul into building this 2 door and think it should be remembered as it was before it got destroyed.
I spent days building those rockers I def think they were my favorite part.

does noone realize that you can hook up 12v wires to the fuse box?
if you don't want a bunch of wires comeing off the battery follow the wires that come off the battery and they go to the fuse box.... put your wires there.
Ill post pics soon for those that don't understand.

I got aluminum valve caps and inflation needles from harbor freight. Take the needles and cut about half of the stem off. Drill a hole in the top of the valve cap, then epoxy them together. You can drill holes in the sides of the valve cap to let more air out but I didn't so can put my pressure gauge on the end to find out my psi.

Made some disconnects from a simple 4 prong trailer plug for my lights so I can take my rack off with no hassle.
Also I put some heater hose in the gap of my d rings to keep them from rattling.

I think he's talking about electric plug disconnects from a 4 prong trailer plug for his roof rack lights so he can take the roof rack off with no hassle.
