I have 3-tons. Should handle my XJ just fine.

I drove it to work: 25 miles, and the needle was below the E line when I left home. Hope it can take me home when I get back in town.

It fits! I need a spacer though, the edge is about 1/2" from the multimalfunction switch so I can't turn on high beams and keep nailing my knuckle on the switch.
I also didnt feel like modding the clock spring to make the signals self cancel, but I'll fix both problems easily soon.
