Take your key to a locksmith or a hardware store like Lowe's or Home Depot, and they should be able to cut you one

Been trying for three days now to replace the automatic "T-handle" shift **** on my 2000 Cherokee with a ZJ shift ****, but the dang thing just won't fit on right enough to allow shifting out of park! If there's anyone who's done this on a '97+ XJ with the longer, bendier shift arm (compared to '96 and earlier) with success, my beaten hands and I would love to hear from you!! :C

Starting the process of getting a lift and I have a few questions...
I have wheels from a 2007 wranler, can I fit 31x10.5 tires on them?
and
Can I keep those wheels if I use 1.5 inch wheel spacers, I really don't want to have to get new wheels.

Hello everyone I have recently acquired an 89 cherokee with the 4.0/ auto trans. It runs but is having cooling issues. I noticed the eletric fan isn't coming on so I read up on threads of issues that sounded the same. I replaced the temp sensor on the radiator....did not work. Thought it could be a stuck thermostat cause it doesnt seem like the coolant is getting warm enough so I replaced it....didnt work. The whole time my temp guage warms up to the red. I know the guage sensor is at the back of the block and have put a temp light on it and its within 10-20 degrees from what the guage says. the coolant still isn't getting hot enough to turn the fan on? I bought a new radiator for a 95 because I thought if there is any air in the system I would like to have an actual radiator cap and evac tank versus a closed system and yet it still seems like the coolant isnt getting as warm as the guage sensor says it is. I'm lost and any advise on this would be greatly appreciated.
Things done:
new radiator
new thermostat
new electric fan temp sensor
tested relay and jumped fan to make sure they worked.

-- So you have an Open/ Closed system now?
Maybe google - 'Mostly renix tips'

I have an open system after replacing the radiator with one that would be in a 95. I've done everything I know to work out the air, if thats whats going on. I haven't driven it though. I'll give it a try, thanks.

All you did was replace the radiator? Pretty sure there's more to the conversion then that.
Ok, so I was tightening the positive terminal on my battery, the wrench slipped and touched the air conditioning condenser. It sparked and arced for a second and I pulled the wrench away. Now it will run and be fine but when it runs for a while and I shut it off, the battery needs to be jumped in order to start. The battery has a charge and I even replaced it. Now all that happens when I turn the key is all power to the car is cut (lights, dash, radio, etc) and I hear a single "click" noise. After the car sits for a few minutes the lights come back on and the same thing continues to happen over and over. I turn the key to hear a click and everything shuts off. I replaced the starter relay and it is still doing the same thing. Anybody know what might be wrong?

I bet the water pump is bad. This whole "air in the system" stuff is BS.
