I need an ABS tone ring for my 1999 cherokee with the HP Dana 30.
Can anyone verify if this is the correct part?

Effectively making a 3row long XJ, where the front seats of the 2 door would be the 2nd row of seating (they'd fold down) and the rear seats would be the 3rd row.
I've thought about it before. To make it all look right, I'd need to slice the 2drs doors in half, and mate them to the other half of the 4doors rear doors so the door seam is straight, not curverd like normal 4 door rears.
I know it wouldn't be easy. Besides the fab and body work. There's also all the fuel and brake lines. The driveshafts. That doesn't really bother me. Wiring is probably what I'd have the most trouble with. If I sit down and write out a plan, I'd probably find more things that'd need adressed.
What are your guys' thoughts? Also, could someone PLEASE photochop me a pic of what the end result would be?

Hey guys, I a have a 96 XJ with 149,979 (I am waiting for it to roll to 150 so I can take a picture 
) and by looking at my leaf springs they are sagging and need replacing. But, when I do all the fancy, high tech measuring it completely contradicts what my eyes are telling me. I attached a picture, let me know if there is another angle or something I could take of it to better help you guys. Oh and as far as I know I am completely stock, no lift or extended shackles here.
I was wondering if anyone with a little more experience could help me out.
Fancy measuring methods I referred to earlier:

So you need the specs for the bolt? Are you missing one? Iv looked and looked and cant find anything, best bet is to pull one from the junkyard if yours is missing or damaged.
Clown, thanks for the help. Im going to apply seam sealer to the inside of the seam before I pound it over so it has a good seal. I think I finally convinced myself on the fender cut and fold to. I could easily bend a few tabs out to mount my lawn edging flares to instead of bolting brackets to the stock flare bolt holes.

I looked for some time and couldnt find the size, only that its a 13mm bolt head. If I had a thread gauge tool I could pull mine and check.

After changing the XJ's oil for the first time in 5 years (I know, my dad had it previously and maintenance isn't his thing) it developed what I'm pretty sure was a rear main leak.
I kept having to top it up, but after two weeks it seems to have stopped leaking again
What could explain that??
And before you ask me, yes there is oil in it!!

Very good idea to pop off the valve cover and look for sludge. If none, then thats good news. There's probably quite some filth in the sump though. Change the oil a few more times.
Seafoam in the intake to address lack of oil changes... Okay...

transmission got fixed friday (yay)
somehow fluid had gotten inside the wiring connector to the transmission
and it was creating a circuit from solenoid a to solenoid b and keeping b on all the time
which fried it extra crispy and made the jeep not have 1st n 2nd so b had to be replaced and they also got the seal in to fix the rear leak sooo its alllll better now
just need to change the oil presure sending unit to get rid of the check gauges light...and maybe some new brakes, yea
