Ya I've been reading all about it. There was a recall on the cluster connectors, I just need to get the new piece

Dukie, guess what?!?! The big brown box dropped off the Long Arm kit today!!!

My daughter was pretty excited to see all the boxes. She did get little upset though that nothing was for her. I told her it would be hers one day.

I did, but it got lost in the shuffle today. I'll take a better look tonight

I am not intending on using any spacers on my XJ and am planning on doing my shocks at the same time just wanted to cover bases, thanks.

Happens occasionally on my XJ. I just push the cluster in a little bit and it comes back. Probably only has happened about 4 times or so in the past 2 years, but I've also torn apart my dash a few times.

Fixing that broken vacuum canister line seems to have made my jeep much happier. Who woulda thunk it..

Changed the radiator, seemingly fixed all the coolant leaks and found and repaired a big vacuum leak. wonder what will break next.

Does anyone know a local person/place that builds bumpers? I need to start looking for a front bumper solution.

I was thinking about a JCR DIY, but I have no idea how to weld.
