Owner's manuals are hard to find, I've never seen a PDF version.
Ask any question you like and you can find an answer, or a printable reference on a specific subject.
A page full of replacement bulbs, though, probably not...

Well I do got laws and they are d**ks about it around here. I did manage to get the flares on these past few days. Had to drive it around looking funny with a stock flare here and cut out flare there but I finally got it done. Will post pics when I get a chance.

Hey, first post....I'm starting here because I don't want to clutter up the boards with random threads. So, the issue at hand: '97 XJ, my gas gauge stopped working, is registering "empty" when the tank is full. The fuel pump is still operational.
Ran the gauge test pattern and the gauge itself seems OK. Cleaned the contacts on all the gauge cluster connectors, didn't help. So I'm thinking it's the fuel sending unit...but before I drop the tank (major job for someone of my meager abilities) I'd like to use a multimeter, if possible, to test and see if the sender is toast, or if it's actually a wiring issue elsewhere.
...has anyone done this before? I've searched the forums here and elsewhere, and have googled like crazy, but can't find any solid info.

I have a PDF copy of the Factory Service Manual too (actually, for many different years).
But that is not the same as the Owner's Manual. Frustratingly there is information in the Owner's Manual that is not in the FSM...
Hammer a 12mm on
Works great, had to do it twice.

You can buy replacement bolts at most American dealers for a fair price. Up here they wanted $18 for one so I picked up a box of 10 hex head cap screws and some washer at Fastenal for $30
