Found a matching rear tube bumper for my GFs XJ on craigslist but I think it might originally be for a wrangler. The mounts look really close though. Is it worth picking up and rewelding/drilling the mounts or are they too different to bother with?

TIA

I've got a red wire coming out of the harness with the 2 wires for the Blower motor. It has a female connector on it, where does the red wire go to?

It's an 88 xj 4.0

Anyone using winch rope off of EBay? How much and what size should I get for a 9,000 lb winch? One seller says '92 feet and 1/2".

So I think iv possibly found my AC issue. Maybe.

Iv followed every wire in the engine bay to blower motor, LP switch, Compressor clutch, Compressor relay ect. I can't find any issues there.

My AC relay doesn't even have 12v power.
I ripped apart half the dash again to look over everything and noticed no issues with my AC/Heat switch or the Blower speed adjuster. BUT no matter what AC setting I have on I don't get power to my AC relay.

I also found I am missing a connector that goes on to the A/C Thermostat under the glove box area.

Can someone PLEASE take a picture of where their connector comes from and what it looks like for my so I can hopefully find the connector that came off of mine. Iv looked and can't seem to find it, maybe I jammed it behind the dash during the heater core install.

Any 87-90 XJ with A/C should have the connector. I'll attach a picture of what I'm talking about out of my service manual.

Default Enkei 92s?

http://photobart.smugmug.com/Motorsp...09_vZQ7p-L.jpg

borrowed from Jeepforum. What wheels are those? they look alot like enkei 92s but ive seen enough XJs with them to make me think they are a stock wheel? I would be willing to trade my stock xj sport wheels with brand new 31x10.5s for a set with decent tires, I just like the way they look and my tires are too big anyway. Thanks for any help located in VT btw.

They were factory yes. Called "Lace" as far as I can tell. At any rate searches for "lace" Cherokee rims show them

Default Wheel Spacers?

Anyone ever heard of moto machine wheel spacers? Found them on ebay for less than half the cost of spidertrax. They say they're machined from 6061 so they seem to be a quality product. Wondering if they're worth it

They don't show up on a Google search. If I were going to run spacers (and I personally never will), I'd stick with a name brand

Spidertrax 6061 is heat treated. And I would expect there to be density differences compared to the bargain brand, not all 6061 is the same.
The 20 lug-nuts with spidertrax are also high quality.
