Since I dont know you, yeah, because it happens all the time and thats I started the post by saying I hadnt read the whole thread cause it was kinda long. If youre documenting for others, its a GREAT point to document. People dont usually pull pieces of trim to roll back the carpet if the undercarriage looks clean. XJ front floor pans are NOTORIOUS for rotting out, regardless of the state or states theyve lived in. Snowbelt doesnt automatically equal rust and a dry climate doesnt automatically equal no rust, for future readers.

delivery today, yeah

but I'm having a problem with it

I got the 48 inch, I'm thinking it's not enough and should have ordered the 60.
I can get the tire about 3 inches of the ground...
OR am I doing something wrong?





Help?

That will rip that fender off in a hurry. HiLifts should be used from solid bumpers or rock sliders

Ohhh, sorry, I was looking on my phone just after getting up, I didn't spot the attachment to lift right from the wheel! lol

Well uh great time to get some rock sliders? Not sure how lifting the XJ by the wheel when you need to put your spare on will help

There are a couple other models but the Scangauge 2 is top one.

I just bought one. Have you downloaded any of the other gauges? I know it comes with 12 on it but there are 25 available to download, these are called the X-Gauges I believe. Do you know if it monitors oil pressure?

I am trying to figure out where I want to mount mine. Do you like yours where it is at? Do you hit it often when shifting? How is the Velcroe holding up? Does the adhesive withstand the heat well?

Does anyone else have this? Mind taking a picture?
It's after the manifold collector bolts on to the mid pipe.

When I read about this last night, first thing I did this morning was check mine. As you know a little old lady owned it, so I don't think anyone modified it. I'm going to have to agree that it was stock like that. Here is mine:



However... yours looks a lot more crushed than mine. I wonder if that is normal.

when I had my 7.3PSD I loaded all the Xgauges, next I had a V10 and loaded even more Xgauges...
So there is many in mine that don't work on the XJ. but no oil or trans stuff.
Velcro holds up fine if it's not 90+ outside... Hot glue gun is my next method of attachment.
shifter is clear, line of sight is good.
