I'd like to give it another whack on Sunday actually. And if I can't get it, maybe someone else will step in and save me, lol

sounds like a better route to go. I'd rather do that actually, get some experience and a chance to ruin some more t-shirts! Besides, I still haven't heard anything back yet from the other dude.
Anyone have a press or an easy way to change u-joints on a front ds? Apparently mine are on the way out and the shop here wants 300+ to replace them.

I tried to do that on the front axle and ended up having to take it somewhere because I was just busting up my sockets.

OKay, the verdict is in on the XJ. I need a starter 
A special thanks to Yellaklein for checking out and diagnosing the problem. The cheapest starter I could find was Advance Auto $139.99 + $30 core - $30 coupon=$139.99 + tax.
The only issue I have is that I barely survive off of $1200 per month supporting 2 people. This week I only have 1 child to watch instead of the normal 4 which gives me extra $$$. I looked at a few on Ebay, but I'm not sure about making purchases from Ebay. Could I temporarily get away with one from the JY or would that be a waste of money? Lastly does anyone have a starter for a 2000 XJ just laying around looking for a new home? I would really like to get back on the road by next week and I have money, just not enough to get the starter from Advance this week.

Mava any starter for the 4.0L engine will work - any year
strange it would just stop working though...did he try tapping on it and check the relay/battery connections?

He did all of that. He had a BFH tapping and nothing. He was in contact with PTMIke while he was checking it out. Is it safe to buy from Ebay, found a few new ones for less than $100 with free shipping. Most have 30 day warranty.
