^ x2 I dont see how there could be an "extra" harness on the CPS, it is a really small simple part..

 

Your Dad's offering, Accept! Don't miss opportunities.

 

Agreed.

 

I'd definitely take that opportunity if it was my dad. I'm turning 19 in about a month, and my dad is 68. I do everything with him I can while we can, y'know?

 

Rebuild it with your dad!

 

if you take it apart and cant fix it then you have lost nothing, if you scrap it and buy something else you lost a chance to spend time with your dad.

 

for sure...i wrecked my second xj and we decided to keep it for the drivetrain...my dad helped me swapp it into another with a blown engine and convert it to a manual. he passed so much knowledge to me...now im trying to find another progect just for fun: we had NEVER connected on that level...im sure youll make the right decision

 

this forum is funny. 3 years ago 90% of the members were probably talking about the new wheels they got on their skateboard and getting a ride to the mall.

 

I never skateboarded much when I was 16, but I don't see why it would matter if I was a young teen three years ago. I work on my XJ almost every day now, and love it. My age doesn't matter to my XJ, and it shouldn't matter either when I give advice or an opinion as long as the advice is sound and the opinion is polite/respectful.

 

So I will definitely be doing the full on rebuild cherokee super crawler.

My only problem is the other car I will need to commute 45miles daily to go to school. I need something with good mpgs (45 mile commute), reliable (i need it to work), and can handle in snow (I live in CO)
So what would i guys recommend, i was thinking mid 90s subaru. other ideas?

 

Jetta diesel! 50mpg! And they're fun little cars you get em turboed. or a Subaru wrx. get a fart pipe on that thing lol!

 

get another XJ!!!!lol u can use that as a street truck

 

@basegrinder, bitter much? Maybe bad experiences with "skaters"? Either way, and im just speaking for my self but I'm sure others agree, this is a positive place for positive feed back and answers. So feel free to take that negative s**t else where.

@CherokeeCountry, WOW. You, sir give me hope for our future. In the face of adverisity you remained cool, calm, level headed and even polite. You'r folks must be proud.

 

Negative? This forum is chock full of negative posts about "stupid" wrangler owners, "stupid" auto shop employees, "stupid" mechanics, "stupid" SUV drivers, "stupid" auto shop teachers, the "stupid" guy you met on the trail, etc etc.

 

you forgot the "stupid napa/oriellys/autozone guy"
