When I bought my '90 the back driver's side window did not go down. Upon taking the door panel off, I discovered it was because it was being held up with a 2 X 4 that the PO had wedged in there.

Lets see. The speed-O gears where never put back in after he changed the t-case. The back door has some kind of rubber diamond plate stuff glued and wood screwed on to it.

Wow, that's a massively bad idea. You have the drain of not only the radio, but also the headlights.

Not mine, and not an XJ, but my friend found a money clip under the spare tire in his 1990 Ford Taurus. The clip had $130 in it! Not sure how it go there, though.

you lucked out :P all i got was a hood release with a pair of vice grips clamped on the end, a trashed rear pinion seal (pulled it out and found grass wrapped around it!), and a cheapy deck that was wired in and left with open connections that thankfully didnt blow out my stock speakers (even though i replaced em soon after)

I believe thats a tool for rolling your own smokes. I'll leave the tobacco choice up to you.
