Default ideas to waist time

ok, so now that i have to wait till i can afford a cps( seeing as im laid off) i was thinking a fabbing up a new transfercase shifter since i cant find an after market one, mines all rusted and doesn't move very nicely, even with out it being hooked up to the TC, so any other ideas on stuff to waist time lol?

Get a CPS out of a junkyard donor to get your XJ back on the road, then buy a new one when you can afford it. I bet you could get the JY one for less than $10 bucks.

With 12 iches of fresh snow I can see how that would put a damper on JY picking but, I'd be FOAMING at the mouth to get my XJ out in that!!!!!!Give the guys your address and get one of the said free CPS mailed to you and get out and tear that fresh powder up.

it's been very cold here as well- actual temps 24 below + wind chill. I guess today is supposed to be a bit warmer and is not supposed to drop below +2 degreees.

Needless to say nothing is getting done to my vehicles either.
