It's common with all years of XJ. The windshield is glued to the unibody and has the rubber molding around it. Due to flexing over time and driving, the glue cracks and breaks. It also can cause rust to form under there. (I got lucky and there was no rust)

I was looking into the powettrac I think. I have it saved at home. It operates under acceleration only. I hear that same thing from everyone

It worked great on the trails but in the streets with snow on the ground in was a handful. If one tire would grab hard I'd be in the next lane in no time. In the rear it's manageable.

Went and picked up a p/s pump and pressure hose. Working on taking old pump out now. Going to clean the new old one up nice and paint the pump housing flat black. Got home and my lift kit was on front porch just went through everything. It's starter set for me and was in my price range.

Pump has 30 day warranty. Cost me $25 for pump and hoses. Not having to pull pulley and swap should make it go pretty quick

You have to put them on all four corners to balance out the power.

I did the same. They're great if you only use 4wd on trails, but if it's part of your daily drive you won't be happy. It's a shame because they're soooo much cheaper than air lockers

Your all wrong. Has nothing to do with hp it adds torque. Cmon thought you guys knew what you were talking about. They are for the shocks. I was like wtf when I saw them. They can't stick them on... And they will be covered in dirt in a day.

My buddy painted my xj using jeep mopar code px8 he owns a local maaco and the wheels I've got them on craiglist for $ 200 bucks ,think they were from a TJ rubicon 2004 so I've decided to painted them flat black using VHT roll bar & chassis paint.
