The 245/75R16 on Moabs did not rub on anything. I can't say if the 255's will or will not rub.

Looks real good with the Rubi wheels I am a sucker for them I still wish I would have never sold mine.

Have you seen these XJ's with Charger wheels on, I am not a fan of big wheels but I really like these. If I had a pavement pounder I would consider them.

Thanks! I actually decided to get rid of the Rubi wheels and put the Icons back on. I picked out the 4 nicest Icons I had (I still had them from the 1st XJ too). Turns out I like the Icons better. So the Rubis are for sale now.

I like the idea of those 18" rims you show, and considered doing something like that, but in the end I like the offroad look, even if it is just a mall crawler.

Wow, it's been a while since I've updated this thread, but I haven't been doing too much with this one since it's just the DD. With that being said, the To-Do List for this one is (getting) long.

So today I had a free day off of work, and decided to catch up with some odds and ends on the Daily Driver.

About a month ago the Blower Motor Resistor (BMR) gave out. I finally got around to fixing it today. It took all of 15 minutes. Here's the write-up on that for you guys. It's REALLY easy, and believe it or not, the stealership actually had the best price for the Blower Motor Resistor in my local area (North Jersey) - $58.00, I had auto parts stores quote me north of $70

You'll need:
Screwdriver
Quarter Inch Drive Ratchet
Quarter Inch Extension
5/16" socket

The BMR is located behind and under the glovebox. You need to remove both the glovebox and the kick panel underneath it - and the small light too. They're both held in by screws. You could probably get by with just removing the kick panel, but if you remove both you'll have a bit of extra space. The kick panel is held in place by two screws, get a lamp down there so that you can see them, since everything is black it all blends in.



This is what you'll be working with:


The BMR is the white part that is somewhat diamond shaped, and it has a harness with four wires running to it. It's held in place with 2 5/16" bolts. Remove both of them, and it'll pop right out.




Once it's out, remove the harness, it's held in place with a red bracket. The red bracket doesn't fully come out, just pull it back and then remove the harness from the BMR. Plug the new BMR in, and reverse the previous steps to button everything up.

Here's a picture showing the Old BMR versus the New BMR.
