okay need some parts/help

I need:

1 headlight clip (its a black piece used to hold teh screws for the headlight on)

and then the next piece I dont know what its called, the turn signal light goes onto a black piece of plastic, that outlines the headlight. There is another piece that goes behind that, it also connects the upper trim and lower trim.

Ill try to find a pic!

The clips can probably be picked up at your local auto parts store.

The other part, I think you mean the light bucket.

[TLTCrawlin]

thanks my dad wanted me to super glue it, but I dont want to.


It is the part to the very right and left of this pic. I need a right I think!

I know enough, but not all, and I don't know the technical name for it, sorry.

Go to a junk yard, you can probably yank it off a junker for a few bucks.

Ok. my dads really mechanical, not so much on jeeps. but he said he has know idea what its called.

Ill be off to the junkyard tomorrow. I cleaned the interior, it smells bad frmo dogs. but we cleaned it insanely, and its all purty .

I got the whole grll assembly off and rebuilt. Gotta put the new fenders on. Comanche fenders work right? They are identical, but I just want to make sure before I spend a hell-of alot of time taking off both fenders, and seeing whats ruined if it is.

It mis fires because the spark plugs havent been changed in forever, and he gave me some copper cores im gonna put on, and then the air filter, I can gaurntee is NASTY. It has a new dist. cap, and thermostat.

Promise to post here when you guys realize it's one of those three things? Enjoy your XJ I have had 5 of them.

[TLTCrawlin]

its coming out of the breather tube. He calls it a b___ pass I cleaned the engine and its not leaking at all!

[TLTCrawlin]

How hard is it to take off the front fenders?

[TLTCrawlin]

Also you are right the replace the valve cover gasket ("RightStuff") auto parts store $12-15 will need replaced, but its not leaking much. It hasnt leaked all day, ill check tomorrow. If it is leaking ill drain oil if I need to, put a new one on, and then put some new oil. I gott save up, I want to run good oil. Like mobil 1 synthetic.

Its got so dam low mileage. 108k. I cant believe it.

[K_Willis]

You're probably not going to want to run synthetic in an engine that's already 20 years old. It flows so much better than regular oil, that it will leak through seals that regular oil won't. Most likely will just end up with expensive oil puddles in the driveway.

[TLTCrawlin]

Okay. Should I run high mileage stuff yet? it cost the same!
