Ditch the gc plugs. Do what I did and go to the junkyard take off the kick panels of an xj and cut out the factory plugs. There will be 3. Soldier them in right where the loom goes to the door and viola. Disconnect the three pop your door off. And visa versa. The passenger plugs are a huge PITA! so I went into 2 XJ's and tool two drivers side setups. Get yourself some but connectors but not the cheapo ones. Get the ones with soldier cores and heat shrink like I did and they will be a permanent solution.

yeah and whne my friend(fellow XJ owner) told me it was toast.. it was done for ever. i was so pissed. anyhow. i still say GC is best bet. i mean its easier to do the GC plugs and to find the,m then to go thru the "3 xjs" thing. i dont even think between all of my JYS theres two between them! mostly GCS and two or three wronglers

Yeah all the TJs are low pinion. It is the lame. Not 100% sure if this will work, but 4 cyl YJs should have come with 4.10s too, right? They were the only other jeep with HP D30 so the ring and pinion are cut the same way... you might be able to find an HP D30 housing with coil spring perches, get the YJ gears, and run shafts and spiders from a later XJ for stronger U-joints and moar splines. 4 cyl YJs are the only YJs at my local JY.

Have never seen a 4 cyl XJ personally.
So all the YJs had leaf spring D30s?
I'll just have to get a XJ HP D30 housing and run a locker with new 4.10s then.

I've got the overhead console in my '98 XJ, and it fills up with water behind the screen then drips out.
There's no sign of water coming in around the edge of the windshield, and I've tightened the roof rails. Where could this be coming from??
