I've never seen a lug nut strip out like that. Could you take a chisel and turn the nut? A lot of modern vehicles have those stupid chrome lug caps. I bought my JK brand new and when I went to rotate the tires the first time one cap was missing and several came off. I complained to the dealer...

I agree! but I do believe they make the best stock 4x4

I've never owned a farm jack but I keep a bottle jack and a couple of wood blocks in my 4x4 truck.

A faulty speed sensor can apply the brakes usually during or after a turn and be fine the rest of the time.

A faulty speed sensor can engage the brake but that normally just affects one wheel - which will get hot. But that won't cause a wobble as far as I know.

It's been a long time since I had an XJ but seems like the belt was always a tad narrower than the pulley.

I had to get a new card earlier this yr. They told me 10 days unless expedited. I asked how much that cost and they said no charge. I got my new card in 1-2 days.

I have mountain property and barely any soil under the sod. Took me over 20 yrs to get it all green and I have no aspirations of a weed free lawn. Good thing too as last year our great granddaughter came over, pulled out a sandwich bag full of dandelions and proceeded to blow them across the yard.

Did you discuss the paint sag with them? Personally that sag would bug me every time I used the jeep since it's on the driver's side.

I'd take it back and make them fix the run along with the door lock. A paint sag in an easily viewed area is never acceptable. No reason for them not to have switched the lock back or at least provide a key for the replacement door.

My stepson used to have a Liberty and both of his back windows quit working [would actually slip down] Since it was rare for anyone to ride in the back seat and to save him money I just propped those 2 windows up. On his there was a plastic gear that stripped out if I remember correctly. Are...

A lot of vehicles specify replacing it but I never have unless it was dripping when tight.

Maybe cut and splice the wires before they reach the connector ?? That plug on the XJ I used to have was toast and I couldn't find a replacement. I ended up making my own - not really weatherproof but I taped it up. Worked fine for the few more yrs I owned that jeep.

wired up backwards ??

I'm sure you know this but be sure to pay attention to the gas when you drain it. There is a good chance that tank will need to be cleaned out.
