I'll grab a picture in the morning. But the bolts that hold the front seats' frame's down. There are 3 on each seat, two in the front, and one in the back. As well as a stud. The studs are fine, but the bolts have broken inside the nuts, which are welded inside the floor/frame.
I like the smacked in the nuts idea, easy fix there! Haha

Anyone have a good thermo fan controller and/or harness recommendations for heat soak issues on a 2000?
Also, anyone know of how to do a true tranny flush without a pump and withour having to drain the oil multiple times? On my ford we would remove one of the lines, start engine, drain x amount, add x amount, start again then drain the remaining and all the old fluid would be expelled this way.

The front two are proper nuts welded inside the seat bracket. Your options amount to cutting up your floor and drilling out the bolts. You'd then need to tap the larger hole and use a larger bolt.
The rear one is a rivnut in the floor cross-member. Crawl underneath and you'll see it. You can just grind it off and use a normal nut in its place.

Hehe that's pretty normal up here... PB Blaster for about a week might've helped ya... or not The front two are proper nuts welded inside the seat bracket.

I guess I'll cut the rear one out and use a nut.
Not sure about the fronts now

My XJ had a crappy immobilizer installed by a dealer or some third party shop. Such a light indicates some kind of aftermarket "security" system. In my case there was a module that required the brake and clutch to be depressed to start.

What is spifting?
A new technique that supercedes this?
Here's how the factory suggests you shift the transfer case and I've been doing this since these things were new and I worked at the dealership. Quoted from the owner's manual. The suggestions in ITALICS are mine.
"To engage, shift the transfer case lever from 2H to 4H while the vehicle is moving at any legal speed". I let off the gas, throw the lever, and then tap the gas and let off.
4L position: " To engage, slow the vehicle to 2-3 MPH , shift the transmission to Neutral, then shift the transfer lever to the right and pull firmly rearward to 4L".
To shift out of 4L, shift the transmission into neutral with the vehicle stopped, shift the transfer case lever to 2H, then to D if you have an automatic, or into first gear with a manual, and continue on.

All same size tires? Pressures the same?
How's the transfer case fluid level?

I'm doing my exhaust and O2s on my 99... I took both O2s out of the boxes for some reason and got them mixed up. I know 23151 is upstream but I'm not sure which one is which.
I noticed one has like two little holes on the tip the other has a bunch of slots on the tip. Does anyone know which one is which?
