I got the perches welded on the 8.25 for the Comanche. Hopefully I'll get it swapped in tomorrow and hopefully my driveshaft will work for it.

I've done one in a bank drive thru because it was raining and I was 250 miles from home. I got really lucky though because it started crapping out when I was 30 minutes deep into trails where there wasn't cell service. I made it to a gas station where the lady drew a map for us to get to town and to the parts store. I still don't know how I made it all the way back.

Got the flair off repaired and back on today without breaking it any more. Replaced broken tab with small (#4x1/4") screw.

Window Regulator
Newbie here guys. Last night I replaced the passenger side window regulator on my 2000 XJ. Tonight I plan on removing the clock spring and hopefully repairing it instead of replacing it. My research has pointed me in this direction since the horn and cruise control doesn’t work. I also have a “airbag” light on my dash.

Adjusted the windshield wipers! The driver side was going too far and hitting the A pillar, now I got it stopping 2-3 inches shy of the seal.
Also, became legal and got a plate on it. Even used the greatest anti-theft bolts known to man, 10mm. Ain’t nobody gonna steal it now... HA!

I have seen the videos and whatnot of people trying, and supposedly succeeding, doing that. I wouldn't try but that is just me. Make sure that your wheels are straight when you remove it. Since you are taking it apart I guess it will need to be re-centered before replacing. These are out of my '00 Service Manual. When I put Cruise Control in my '00 that did not come with it I educated myself a bit for the install.

No matter how hard I try I can never get my wipers adjusted just right. LOL.

Thanks for the tips. I got to try and repair it before I drop $100 on a new one. If all goes well I can put that money in the pot for my lift.

Started putting the rear axle in the Comanche, but the u bolts I got are junk. I started tightening them down and well before the specified 80 ft lbs the threads stripped off the u bolt. on my Cherokee I've pulled just about as hard as I can on a breaker bar and never pulled the threads off a u bolt.

I almost made the insane trip to pick up that white XJ you got from a member here I’m anxious to see how that one turns out sure looked clean in pictures !
