Wow, great buy/find you have the 8.25 diff.

. Where did you buy that from the planet zelnob? It looks like its from some non-rusting planet? Or Michael Jackson's hyperbaric oxygen chamber.

Do yourself a favor and use a small screwdriver or something like that to clean out the small drain holes that are in the pinch welds under your rockers. That will help save your rockers from rusting out in the future. Just trying to help, cuz I would hate to see that pretty jeep rust.

Well it's not 100% rust free! Just a small spot that to door covers up. I'm going to grind it out then primer/paint it so it won't get worse. Those pics make the XJ look mint..........trust me it's not, but it's still in great shape!

Also, the previous owner provided a receipt for a tune-up and fuel pump replacement done in June. So I crawled under ans sure enough there was anti-seize on the fuel tank strap bolts. Good to see.

Plans are:

install the remote start
change diff and trans fluids
4 new tires
see if the windshield crack can be repaired
