Got one of my buddys xj going. Swapped in a 98 grand Cherokee motor in his 00. He was pretty happy.

The Jeep Jeep has working ac. Woohoo! Replaced the compressor and accumulator first I rented a vacuum pump and manifold and gauge set from Autozone did a leak test and didn't loose a pound so filled her up.

Nice average for drive over to Naches. And add 20% to that for my tire size throwing my odo off and that's a dang good average for a loaded jeep going over the pass.

Changed my drag link and tre end for draglink. Steering feels much better now. Though I found both my unit bearings are bad. So that's on the list to replace.
I had a great time at Naches. Made it up to the funny rocks and did a couple of hill climbs there and also did some night wheeling and taught the GF to wheel properly. She did great and it was a great 4 days 5 nights.
