Hey I know this is a common problem and I can't seem to find a thread on how to fix it. I'm Having a problem with my window switches on my passenger side, they work and then don't sometimes, it seems to be the same situation with my front speakers. Can someone point me in the right direction??

Eh, not really...

Since the topic of cup holders came up, what do you ZJ owners do with yours? Mine seem pretty useless at holding anything especially if it's not straight, smooth pristine asphalt.

The cracked flexplate/loose flexplate bolts situation common to just 97+ Cherokees or pretty much any AW4-equipped Cherokees?

Let me re-phrase that: It is known to occur in pre-97 units, but it does seem to be more common in '97+ MY's.

Unsure of why exactly. More power = more friction/heat? IDK. CCKen or cruiser would probably know.
