Bought a better charger and hooked it up to the battery and it told my my battery was charged 10% so I started charging it and it is now very slowly charging from 64%. Like 1% every 10 minutes Its been charging for about an hour

Good luck
My Camaro's PO removed the guts of his alarm system as well as his stereo. He didn't tell me either of them had ever been installed, and he hid most of the wiring under the carpet. Here's the kicker: Most of it was still 12V hot.

It is a manual, I think it is the AX15. I just kind seem to find the trust in others to buy there used transmission. I also am not the richest person in the world, and would much rather get my hands dirty and learn what makes my Jeep tick!

The Nike boots start falling apart after roughly six months of wearing them

Well they're Nike, so that's expected. I'm sticking with 5.11. Uhh what thread are we in?

Edit: Ask a Question. Hmm...
Edit 2: Anyone know if a Durango box bolts into a YJ?

I really have no idea. It was the only question I could think of that involves XJs and also piques my curiosity.

After a bit of googling, I see the YJ box uses 4 bolts, XJ/Durrango uses 3.

Interesting, thanks. I was just trying to think of a reasonable question to make my post about 5.11 acceptable.
