Yes I kept the plastic piece. Suggestions? Lol
Sent from my SCH-I535 using Tapatalk 2
As Matt hinted to I think its a small evap leak. I had my buddy run the codes and reset the check engine light. If it comes back we will test for the leak. I did replace the gas cap because the old one was messed up.
Moving on to the fog light issue lol. First off, that dumb little light is annoying to click in the slot so I gave up since its cold as hell out.
Any suggestions on how to fix the flap door? Lol I still have the door but its completely snapped off. Its currently duck taped on at the moment.

$3 hinge from home depot and we'll rivet the door back on
Sounds easy enough for me lol now I have to play with this damn fog light again....

Corey, if this fog light gives you an issue Id consider taking a step back from the XK!!!!!!! HAHAHAHA
Did you upgrade to the yellow tinted ones??? You can get those at any pep boys, auto zone store locally...
Im running 3000k yellow. Ordered them off Amazon. They are sending me new ones.

Seriously the best I could get is 15.5mpg on the highway but I drive 75 to 80 mph.
Hey Matt, I am in on a Wrench Fest in May. I need to change my Diff Fluid .
How are the RRO UCA's working out? My stock front left now has a lot of play and I need to replace..... trying to decide between stock, RRO and JBA......
I'm pretty much set on RRO as a good middle ground but would like some input from someone that has and is using them.
I currently have very little drop in the front and am hoping the RRO will address this.
So the flap doors for the fog lights fell off while driving and completely exposed. To top it off....its raining.
Any suggestions? I am sure ill now have electrical issues with the fog lights?....
Pissed.

I lost mine when I first got the XK, and wheeled, and drove through snow, water, mud with no problems, they still get wet from the front
Hmmm....anyone have any suggestions on how to cover them without the plastic piece lol?

dielectric grease in the plug and you'll be OK. It'll be more exposed than that when you do the Sal bumper mod
Just rub the grease on the plug and wires? Where can I get this dielectrix grease? Thanks man

They sell it any any auto parts store, normally they have small single use packets at the register at autozone for like 2 bucks.. or you can buy a couple ounces for a few more bucks..
Then yea put it in the connector to "insulate" the connections from water.
Well you guys have made me feel better lol thanks

I removed the entire plastic wheel well liner a couple years ago. I've had no issues with electrics, even though most Houston wheeling is straight mud boggin' lol.
Hold on, won't dielectric grease in a fitting with 2 or more connections (such as a light socket with a positive and negative next to each other on the same plug) potentially create a short?????????
This works on spark plugs because the head is the ground circuit, but for a light bulb, positive and negative are right next to each other and if the grease bridges the gap, you have a short.
RRO uses Liberty bushings. ... technically a downgrade from stock. That alone is reason for me not to spend good $$$ on them and pay a few bucks more for JBA (I gave Corey a sweet deal and he's not planning on beating them up offroad as much as me).
In addition I found RROs quality control to be sub-par. My first set of control arm bushings separated on me in less than a year and resulted in metal on metal grinding. They "hand picked" a replacement set to send me (after many emails back and forth) and although "better", they were not made to proper oem arm width like JBA. See more here: http://www.jeepforum.com/forum/f67/u...ba-rro-2011945
And Jacob beat me to it, dielectric grease is not conductive.
JBA for the win! I've had mine installed over two years now and not a single issue.
conductive grease? I dunno :p
You guys aren't being very helpful...... you were suppose leave me with some way of justifying to myself that I could save 25% with RRO and still be getting a good product...... I've got nothing to work with here.
I'm very disappointed in both of you!
Add to that the fact that JBA recent spent a lot of time optimizing their arms to work even better with the OME lift, preventing the knuckle from hitting the strut at full extension and still maintaining alignment. ....
This is one area where I believe the money for JBAs product is well spent. ... and im not one of those JBA phanatics who think everything they sell is the best thing since sliced bread.
Lol you're welcome :p
Oh Matt is a professional at spending money that isnt his ;)

So the check engine lights on again but the 'check gascap' warning is off. I am guessing its an evap leak? How serious is this? Can I put it off until next week?
