Agree with allenxj, do you have fuel pressure or spark? If you have a multimeter, check the CPS. Can you hear the fuel pump when the key is in the "on" position? What size motor? Manual or auto trans?

I have not checked for fuel or spark, I do hear something when it is turned to the on position but then again I don't know how the fuel pump would sound like.

Sooo apparently there's a nut on the other side! I thought there was a tapped hole or something in the bumper lol. So it's merely seized, not stripped! Makes replacing easier lol I don't have a tap & die set (yet)

Well that bolt has a nut above it but like dukie said, if you ain't reusing just rip it off[/QUOTE]

I posted this a few days ago towards you to make your job easier brother

On the XJ, mine were all rounded when I got to 'em. I just ripped off the caps and cut off the air dam with my Benchmade.

So when I bought my MJ it had an ho (on stock renix controls). Were they supposed to use the original distributor because the pickup coil on this one is a round disk and I don't know if it reads the same s the original style

Why do they want to trade a wrongler with thousands of dollars invested for a xj. Got a trailor to haul it. Can't road drive if it is locked 24/7
