Default iPhone Mount




Installed my old iPhone in the overhead console. The bracket needs painted. But it's working great. Now all I have to do is get a new head unit and run the cables to there. I'd like it to all be hidden

I replaced everything at the axles except the cylinders in the drums, I'm just waiting on my cousin to help me bleed the system

If you get q Bluetooth head unit no wires to run. That's what I did

Installed new exterior window seals so hopefully it doesn't fill up like a bathtub when the snow melts this year. Already removed the rotted roof rack and filled the mounting holes. Helped but didn't totally fix the wet carpet issue.

If it continues leaking, keep an eye on the windshield gasket. They're known to go bad after all these years. The other major culprit, on the passenger side, is the heater core. If that's leaking, you can usually smell coolant

Thanks for the ideas, but its not those. I've trailed the leaks from the headliner, then to the door seals. Now the water comes from the bottom of the door drain holes then between the rubber door seals and plastic trim. Not suprised, my poor XJ sat for 12 years outside, uncovered. Since I got it running again last summer I've been slowly forced to replace anything rubber.

Any CB knowledgeable people here? My CB worked great when it was in the dash wired to the radio harness for constant and key on power, but since I pulled that out and wired it up from the battery with a t tap for key on power, I get nothing but static even with squelch turned to max. I checked the antenna wire for a short and tested the mount for a good solid ground and those are good. Is there a rule for wiring to power and ground?
