Why are you eager to cut the connectors off?

well, i melted the casing off one of the wires. Im a neat freak about specific things, i know they are there, they don't do anything, and for some reason that bothers me.

also whos stupid enough to start clipping away at wires with the battery connected?

So it looks like I'll be doing ball joints in the near future. Should I just stick with good ol Spicers? Or "upgrade" to something like Alloys, synergy etc

So I'm installing rebuilt 784 injectors. Ive done this a few times before on other Cherokees. This is the first time that the plastic clips have broken that hold the plugs onto the injector. 3 of them have broken with barely being squeezed. Should I just continue with the swap or what?

i have a 1997 jeep xj 2wd that has bad clunking when i let off the gas quickly or press the gas quickly and ive narrowed it down to what i believe is the slip yoke causing the clunk. can i grease up the slip yoke on a 2wd? or will it mess up the trans?

Hey guys, I wired in my Hella fog lights with jeep logo in my 2000 XJ SE to a switch and relay and they look and work really awesome. I have left them on a few times and drained my battery though. I want the warning chime to go off when I leave them on and remove my key from the ignition like it does with my headlights.. Do I need to rewire the headlights with thicker gauge wire and double them up with the fog lights or is there an easier way? Is there a spare fuse port readily available I can tap into that would have this feature included? I didn't use the factory switch wiring, I want to add them into off road aux lights in the future.

Thanks!
