lol.. installer speak

another idea would be to just leave a decent length of wire on the plug and leave it coiled up in back when you're not using it. then when you are, just uncoil it and run it out the back. getting pinched in the rubber seals of the hatch seals won't hurt it

 

Hmm I like the bumper install better. Less wires hanging around. I have a thing about that, haha.

 

i'd bumper mount it too.. i am crazy ocd when it comes to stuff like that. probably because i make a living wiring stuff up? lol

 

That's exactly what I got.

When you get it. Take your time with a piece of 220 grit sand paper you can use up to 400 if ya want but 220 worked for me and was faster. What you need to do is fold it a few time to make it rigid enough you can't distort it. Then wrap around the fitting where the cooler line slides on. You can then twist the fitting in circles to sand it down in diameter. Think of it as a hand lathe with sand paper I guess. Be sure to bevel the tip as well. It took me a half hour but I got it and it worked just like factory with no leaks. You will not use the top brace on the factory radiator either. Just transfer the cushions on top to the new one and mount it. I shimmed the cushions with washers underneath to make the radiator fit more snug. Otherwise when you push down on the radiator cap the whole radiator will move. I'll take a photo of the cut I made on the core support for the cap too. I used an air hacksaw for this. You will also need to get a standard worm clamp for the lower radiator hose at the radiator. The factory spring clamp will not hold it tight enough to keep from leaking. PM me if you have any questions, I can explain better if need be about what I did to instal mine.

 

Ok today I did the rear seal on my T-Case and added a 1/4 in shim to the T-Case support for the angle. Then I went down to the river with her to see if I got it fixed and my grind and it's not as bad now.

 

Put my steering stuff guard back on, its been off since I did my sway-bar disconnects, but I deleted all the sway bar stuff and put it back on.



Took a picture of it

 

Mounted up my ARB air compressor for the locker. Nice little spot under the rear seat.

 

Well now the ranger is dead too..... Just blew out a driveline

 

damn bro :/

 

Might as well sell it to someone shorter, doesn't look like it's doing much with how tall yours is.

 

Cut and Folded

 

Very nice.

 

Does anyone know which junkyard will give me the most for my xj... I'm about to kill somebody with how angry this thing is making me

 

Well if you really do get rid of it, I'll give you $25 more than the junkyard will I'd rather just help you fix it, though.

Also, not much with the XJ today, although I did get my aux reverse light switch working. I "fabbed" up this power steering brace for my Camaro, though.

 

I got the pump out fine, now I can not for the life of me get that clip back on.... And of course with the full tank of gas, I have at least 2 gallons just chilling on the floor
