Re: wiring a XJ hitch
Our street is a shortcut around a major intersection to the end of the
subway so the idiots go pedal to the metal down it. It was a new Honda
and it caved the front back onto the wheels. Tow truck time.
There was even a dump truck hit t-bone the same way this year turning
into the same driveway! Had another little car try to go under my Jeep
at the same place once last fall too. I got out, looked at my signal
flashing away and him just about under me and asked him what the f@#$
did he think he was doing? He just shook his head looking at my frame
rail at eyeball height to him.
It's a really bad street with narrow driveways so you have to cut wide.

Sounds like it's time to install lots of speed bumps and maybe some
dragon's teeth (still a twoway street, but that part touching the
intersection is a outlet only) down the lenght of the street...
On a side note, I tried your threaded rod method of removing and
seating the front dif. oil seals and it worked like a champ...
I think I lucked out in that I did not need a dif-------er.

Thanks for the feedback. I have had good luck with that method too. I
also love finding ways to beat the $tealership out of a cool $800+ in
labor... :-)

Heh, yeah...
I inverted the old seal to use as a seater since I was parinoid
that the washer would damage the rubber on the seal (could not get
a washer that was a exact fit).
