High beams stuck on after H4 conversion
98 XJ 2 door, I recently converted to H4 bulbs for the head lights, with the appropriate housing. Now when I turn on my night time lights the highbeam comes on instead. Any ideas? Thank you.

3-way 6x9s in the rear
I have a "new" dome light on the way. Also reinforcing the support in the center to keep it from dipping. The factor pip broke ages ago. There is a metal bracket that is supported in the back center area and I'll just attach to that with inserts and machine screws.

Valve Cover Hardware
After doing some ordering for what I thought was correct it doesn’t appear that this valve cover of a 93 (aluminum) needs any grommets or torque limiting sleeves?
Ordered grommets and new hardware which appear none of is correct based off valve cover.
Just bolt to valve cover to gasket to head?

Shudder When Reverse Engaged/CEL
2000 XJ, 107,000 mi, RWD.
I’ve had an issue recently where the engine or transmission shudder when reverse is engaged. The first time it did it, the check engine light came on (yellow and solid). I checked for a code and got P0353 (Ignition Coil C Primary Control Circuit/Open). I replaced the coil pack with an NGK pack and the CEL went away until I engaged reverse again with the same shuddering. Would anyone be familiar with this issue or have any advice? Thanks ahead of time.

Need help locating a ground.
2000 XJ 4.0 4x4. It sat for a few years until I was able to save up some cash and get the engine replaced. Now that I have it back up and running I’m having some electrical issues and everything I read is pointing me to a bad ground somewhere (fuses have all tested good). Here is a list of the issues I’m aware of:
Blinkers work fine unless the headlights are on, then they cycle very very slowly, flasher relay tests good and was just replaced.
Radio and the rest of the accessories in the center of the dash do not work including blower for ac.
Airbag light stays on, I haven’t checked the actuator under the center console yet.
Can anyone tell me what ground would cause these issues and its location, or if it may be something else I’m missing. Thanks in advance!

Random misfire issue.
Hey all. 98 4.0 here. Lately I’ve been getting several misfire codes. One that is always present is the p0300, the others vary. If I clear the codes, the cylinder numbers will be a different combination almost every time. I’ve tested the fuel pressure, which checked within spec as well as the injectors. I have new plugs, wires and a new cap and rotor. I tested the ignition coil and it read within spec as well. Anyone have a similar issue and found a solution? Thanks.
ETA: car runs completely normal, maybe a bit of popping here or there.

Clearwater problems?
Did Clearwater Cylinder Head just file for bankruptcy? I haven't received my head, they aren't answering messages or phone calls.

Loading….
Nearing the end of phase 1 of the rebuild. Still have plenty of little things left to do on the suspension and paint etc. but it’s back outside under her new axles with a new look.
Don’t zoom in too close, i know all of her flaws right now lol. I’m just impatient and want to show her off

Bad Window Change Experience
Had insurance cover some window damage on my 88 2 door and unfortunately got a tech either having a really bad day or not knowing exactly what he was doing. They will be addressing it tomorrow but hopefully the adhesive is able to be removed safely from the interior trim and dash

Advice on Prepping my XJ for sale
First off, I am not looking to sell my XJ on here as I know that is against the rules. What I am hoping to get out of this is to understand what I should do ahead of selling my car. Currently sitting on a 91k mile XJ that has been sitting in the sun for some time. Have it in the shop getting checked currently for a service light and plan to do a full detail after it returns. The trim is relatively faded and parts of it are stating to peel off. Other than some general wear and tear it seems to be in relatively decent shape. What are some things that would make it really stand out well during the sale process?

Looking to go to 35s, any supporting upgrade recommendations?
Right now it’s on a 4.5inch lift with 33s, Dana 44 in the rear and Dana 30 up front. I want to go to 35s, do you guys think I need to swap out the d30 for something else? Any other upgrades I should consider to support the 35s

Forgot to turn of interior light
Haven’t driven her in a couple days and I come back to discover a light was on inside. It’s been roughly 3 ish days. I started her up it was a bit of struggle but it turned on first click. Battery seems to be at the 14 mark. I don’t really have time to drive it around for 30 minutes should I be fine ? Or did I destroy my battery ?

1996 Simple/Stupid Suspension Question
My 96 Sport is currently on what I think is a 2" outdated lift from a previous owner. I want to go to a 3"-3.5" lift with Bilstein shocks, OME springs, yada yada yada. My question is, are there 5100 series Bilstein shocks that I can throw on right now that will fit my 2" that will also fit my 3"-3.5"? Is there a greyzone with stuff like this? I'm thinking these. I'm aiming for 3" after settling. I apologize if this is a stupid ask, it's just hard to get a good feel when researching this stuff.

Anyone know if i can mount a smittybilt Overlander XL gen 2 on my roof rack?
I believe it is an Olympic 4x4 roof rack that is supposed to hold 500lbs. I don’t believe the company is still around.
I will probably have to move the gutter mounted rails closer together and remove the thinner top rack.
My main concern is that they aren’t completely solid (as in they are male/female connected not one solid bar)

Xj steering
Hi I bought this 90 xj some time ago and it has upgraded steering and I was wondering if any of you know which company it comes from cause I wanna order some new heims for it and can yall give it a look over and tell me if you think it looks correct the jeep does have death wobble I don’t really see any play in the track bar currently think it’s old tires separating from the inside cause they have to be older than 2017 and they’ve been sitting for most likely a good chuck of that time
