Well I finally got tired of messing with that damn bleeder so i went and bought a whole new caliper. My wife dropped me off, took all my tools out so i could work and she could shop. I got the wrong damn caliper.......FML. I guess on the xj the calipers at autozone are reverse needed parts 
So called the wife waited next to my tools outside in my apartment complex for about an hour. Was about 8pm at that point, went back got the right one and a new hose.
Installed the new caliper, going to wait on the hose for now. Left the jeeo sit overnight cus at that point i was exhausted.
This evening I tried for the 3rd time to bleed the system. This time i chose the gravity bleed style. I bled them all topped the fluid off and took her for a ride.
IT STOPS NOW!!!! Not like a new mercades but it stops better than before. Tomorrow evening i will be doing new shoes and hardware in the drums so i dont have to do this for a LONG LONG time!
