lol... yeah I was gonna have a magnet poised and ready for those. Although, I'm sure I'll probably have at least a couple of them disappear on me. Luckily, I have another head sitting in the garage in case that does happen.

Bosch are the way to go... as far as a performance increase, I think the 4-hole for your year are 784's? I can't swear by that though. The '92 uses 703's so I dunno.

Just bought some from this guy and I'm happy. Reman'ed 703's for about 25% (including shipping) of the cost of new and they've been running well in my '98

^ Not sure if it's kosher to promote and post reviews for FS stuff in this section. If it's not cool, mods please delete and my apologies in advance.

Hey everybody I have a 95 XJ and as its my first car (I am 20) i want to fix any and all issues and know what I'm getting myself into so far my dad says i may be losing a bearing in my drive shaft because there isn't 1 inch of play in it on either end. my front inter fender flares are torn up from my tires and while i can replace them i don't know how to prevent it from happening again. and right now my dad says my car has bad gas and i need to put some sort of treatment in the gas tank. so i guess i wanna know how to fix these issues
p.s. how do i read my codes on my check engine light.
long list i know sorry.

Default Snapped oil pan bolt

I was replacing my rear main seal yesterday and snapped the front left oil pan bolt off. I really would prefer not to pull the oil pan of again if I don't have to. Does anyone one have experience getting a bolt that small out?

I would drill it out and tap for a slightly larger size.

Swapping a 98+ efan into my 91 XJ. Got a proper wiring harness plug from a member here. Problem is Jeep sucks at wiring, and the new plug wiring is clearly beefier than the stuff they used in 91. What should I do here? I'm considering going the "headlight harness" route and using the stock wiring as a relay trigger for standalone wiring.

It will likely be just fine, but why not try it both ways and let us know?
