I'll probably make a write up for the pre 97 jeep XJ power ZJ seats install. I havnt found a single write up for those of use with The older style xj.

Had to replace broken ground wire for rear auxiliary lights, it corroded inside the insulation along its entire length.
Also clearanced bumper bolt in shackle boxes for the oversize shackle bushing.
And trying to find an ideal spot for assembled hi-lift. I have been storing it in jeep disassembled.

I started breaking down my JY leaf springs and primed them for paint so I can get the bastard pack rolling.

I have seen it on your rig before, but I just gotta say, the bumper bottle opener is the shiz, LOL....and, I actually found one like it at my place of employment, squirreled away for a later time, haha!

ZJ seats are the best, especially the cloth ones. First thing I would do if I had an XJ would be swap ZJ seats.

Not trying to sound biased

Little update for you guys. Btw, the seat is moved all the way forward and upward. Untill I get it wired up, I won't be able to move it back down to see how it looks normally.

Idles much better now, and actually starts slightly easier. Still dealing with having to poor man's prime and hesitation at around the mid-rpm range.

Ordered an Accell brass-terminal rotor cap and button from Autozone... 17.99 - couldn't believe it. Should be ready for me to pick up today after work.

Getting a fuel pump after that.
That's the dirtiest IAC I've ever seen.

Default Lift blocks
Got started on my 3"lift by installing the blocks & longer u-bolts. Shackle bolts were too stubborn so i sprayed them with penetrating fluid and waiting for another day on those.
