Anybody have a wiring diagram for the factory keyless entry in a '91 Limited? I'm switching mine over to an aftermarket system but all the wiring diagrams I can find describe wiring colors I don't have. Here's the stock circuit board and the wires I'm workin' with.

I'm almost done converting my 2WD XJ to 4WD. The front axle I pulled from a junkyard is off a 1999 model, and according to this article it comes with the "760X axle shafts and hubs." What exactly does this mean? Because unfortunately it is missing the differential-side shaft and u-joint, as well as the entire wheel hub/bearing assembly, which brings me to my next question.
Are the wheel hub assemblies interchangeable between 2WD and 4WD axles? Is there a hole with splines hidden somewhere in there that will accept a 4WD axle u-joint? I mean, as long as the spline count is the same.
Last question... if I have to buy a new hub, do I need to replace both hubs? Will only replacing one cause any problems?

2WD XJs used fake front axles that took mostly the same parts. The hubs are identical between 2WD and 4WD models. Where the 2WD uses a little nub to hold the bearing together, 4WD uses a stub shaft with a 5-290X/5-760X yoke towards the axle.
There is a small difference in hubs based on model year (after the '80s, that is), but that's to do with the length of studs pre-installed. For a period in the mid '90s Jeep used composite rotors instead of a full-cast design. Sometime in 1999 they switched back from composite to full-cast. If you're installing full-cast rotors you need longer studs. Various stores sell "full cast replacement for OE composite" which can work with either length.
Replacing the hubs in pairs is always a good idea.

Thats an after market valve cover. I forget who makes it but you might have to get a hold of the makers of that valve cover. I have the same one on my wall.

You're talking about the bolt that goes through the floor? Technically yes. You need a good connection though, and those bolts are usually pretty rusty where they go through the floor.

Looking to do something this summer on my XJ. I'm thinking of adding a bumper with winch plate, but I'm turn between the Smittybilt XRC SB-76810 and the Rough Country RC-1057. Any ideas on either of these guys or one that may be better?
