drove le xj to hickory and back this weekend only had a few hiccups and the shaking but im pretty sure the later is just from new/old tires and bad alignment
the former on the other hand i have no idea cuz i did new injectors and plugs but a handful of times she would jerk hard once or twice n then just keep getting it i just called them hiccups...dunno what it could be maybe need a new air filter and clean the tb? another friend suggested maybe a developing vacuum leak idk...
any suggestions?
also doing the h4 upgrade soon cuz in the rain with high on the whole time i could barely see then oncoming traffic yikes hold on for dear life and hope the white line doesnt disappear lol ugh

Question for anyone familiar with BW cut out flares. I'm going to install mine tomorrow which I got second hand. Can they be taken off down the road when I redo my plasti dip and then reinstalled? I just want to make sure the self tappers will be tight the second time around.

True but these screws aren't typical self tappers they aren't as course so I'm sure as long as I don't torque them down hard I'll be fine.. And yeah I could always do nut and bolt. The fronts would be easy but the rears would be a ***** haha

lol @ the fact that's an XJ in the picture. I probably wouldn't paint them with that.. that paint is meant for plastic.. I would just spend the extra cash rather than do it with that and then possibly have to re-do it.

Haha yeah I always thought that was funny too. The flares are made if tpo so i mean they are plastic... I just don't know if i even wanna paint them I mean who cares if they have a few scratches. So none of you guys have ever painted bushwackers?

TESTING PROCEDURE 1991 – 2001 4.0L H.O. engines
1. Near the rear of intake manifold, disconnect sensor pigtail harness connector from main wiring harness.
2. Place an ohmmeter across terminals B and C (SEE Image). Ohmmeter should be set to 1K-to-1OK scale for this test.
3. The meter reading should be open (infinite resistance). Replace sensor if a low resistance is indicated.
