I have ZJ seats in my XJ and I ran a fused hot wire from the battery to each seat. That way I can adjust the seat to fit behind the steering wheel before I put the key in (my girlfriend is pretty short and puts the seat like all the war forward). I want to say I have a 25 amp fuse for each of mine though. I blew a 20 when moving a couple of the motors at once one day so I bumped it up and haven't had an issue since then. I have heated leather but don't have the heating elements hooked up.

good to know, I ended up doing the exact same thing but I used a 20 amp fuse. I finished the passenger side and I got to finish the driver side tomorrow. Passenger works perfect and is all wired up.

No. I can try to get one of the xj doing it. It happens between 40 and 50mph idling downhill.

Yup, the whole back flange is broken off. I was so careful. Thinking maybe the PO cracked it and when I removed the manifold the little piece dropped to the ground. Thanks for the photo.

I have a new manifold ordered.

Captured nut on front skid. Check for tire clearance.

That would work too. I have found that the swaybar will stay where put if the bushings are in good order, just push it up out of the way and strap links to bar.

I almost bought a Chrysler 8.25 axel to replace my Dana 35 but then it occured to me that it looks like I will loose my ABS. Is that right? Can ABS be transfered with the 8.25?
