drove it home from pa. after buying it and put gas in it. bought it at the end of jan. 07 and couldnt do much with it because it was so cold out. when it warmed up i cleaned the inside out.

First XJ- 91 Laredo:
BEFORE GETTING HOME:
Drove 5mi to gas station and put gas, 3qts oil and filled PS. Removed air filter and shook out all the crap DAPO let build up.
Rummmaged thru our then Bonneville (chase vehicle) and found fuses to get most of the fusebox working---mainly radio...long drive home.
AFTER GETTING HOME:
Razorbladed off all the stupid stickers DAPO installed. Re-indexed the rear wiper so it would actually wiper the window and not the hatch.
Started working on fixing broken door hinge.
Most importantly---A BATH for XJ. Not me

Second XJ- 94 Sport:
BEFORE GETTING HOME:
Had to get orange light to go off in dash---GAS!!!
AFTER GETTING HOME: Removed all the reciepts from center console. Laughed hysterically at the PO paying almost $300 to have a stock muffler installed.
BATH, again for XJ, not me.

Since then, been trying to keep from looking back but is difficult chore NOT peeking to keep from becoming someone elses DAPO.

 

What?

 

Tune up, Oil change, New Belt, Cleaned all the electrical connectors and sprayed w/wd40.

Crawled under for a look around.............
