Got my RE 3.5 super flex Friday and have been putting it in over the weekend. I have the front finished but got hung up trying to get the leaf springs out of my 00XJ. 13 years of rust is giving me hell. I have been soaking the bolts with PB Blaster for 24 hours now and they still won't budge. Going to lowes in the morning to get some mapp gas and see if I can free it that way. Anyone have any other ideas for me to try?

No didn't come with new hardware but I can get those. Problem is that I can only get to one side on the front bolts the nut is I guess a captive nut inside of the unibody and I can't get any penetrant into it to break the rust free and I'm not sure how to proceed. I really don't want to start cutting my poor xj.

Replaced the fuel pump module but can't put the tank back in because I ripped the fuel filler neck rubber hose. Now I can't find any place that has the right size fuel line.

Finally got the light bar today, FedEx sure takes forever to deliver. I hooked it up to an 12v inverter at my house and forgot to turn the power off first and nearly blinded myself when it turned on. That was an hour ago and i can still see it when I close my eyes. But its pretty bright, its more of a spot beam then flood. I'll try to mount it up tomorrow
