Didn't think I'd buy a stock one, did you?

If it's blue or black I'm gonna be hella jealous.

Really like the OME lifts. Wish I had one for my XJ, but after having one set of leaf springs shipped to Alaska, it won't happen. WJ coils seem much easier to ship.

Dealer pics. These hotlinks will probably stop working once they take the listing off their site

puffed powdered graphite into the lock cylinders (twice a year, says the FSM). Did my Dodge Ram too so it wouldn't feel left out.

How's the quality of that harness? Would you recommend it?

Changed my pedals for a new set, and swapped out the gas cap that was giving me a CEL.

It appears to be solid and was simple to install but there are two items that I didn't like about it. 1) I would have liked for the plug that goes into the existing headlight plug to be on the drivers side, splitting hairs I know but it would be a shorter path to the switch on the console and easier to get to with removing the air filter as opposed to the battery. It also appeared to be loose in the light socket nothing a little electrical tape holding them together can't fix though. 2) The relays seem like they might be a little loose for the bases, once again nothing that can't be adjusted for. I would recommend it I just drove the XJ to grab dinner and all I did was add the harness and there was a nice new brightness in my existing headlights.

Clutch master went boom. Something came apart inside, managed to limp it back to work where my tools are, before the linkage broke.

I used a vise and some angle iron to make the bends

That would be nice as my XJ didn't have one to make a pattern from, and none of the JY XJs I have looked at have had one either.
