If they're anything like the brown dots on my door sill plastic they will hopefully crumble and leave a whole where they once were. If they don't I'd just slice a lil notch in there with a dremel sized cut off wheel and use a flat head screwdriver. Better yet, just tape the sob off, spray it.

Drove it to U-Haul to pick up my 6x12 cargo trailer, I won't being using the XJ for moving just to get the trailer from U-Haul. It drove fine, no issues. A few hours later I went out for ice cream after the trailer has loaded. Dash lights and shifter lights aren't working... Go to my buddy's house to test out fuses. Turns out the parking light fuse was blown. Good thing I keep extra fuses in my glove box. I suspect my trailer light wiring is messed up somehow. My buddy gave me his Fluke 179 multimeter, maybe now I'll learn more about electrical.

So today I changed a fuse and got a multimeter.

I didn't get to post yesterday, when I installed 2 new speakers in the liftgate; today I spent a few hours figuring out how my son-in-law wired up the stereo in the dash. One speaker (right rear) was wired correctly, the other 3 were each hooked to the wrong location.
After that I had to google how to set eq levels on a sony xplod. Not the same as my Pioneer in my Mustang.
But now I have tunes that I can actually enjoy. I know my ears are bad, but the way it was wired before made it painful to listen to.

What kind of manifold? Be sure to watch #6 clearance with a 99 intake.

The radio hasn't gotten am/fm since I got the jeep. So put an antenna on and and found the wire that apparently likes to fall apart. Hose clamp got it all fixed up thanks to a tip on here. Now I have reception!
