Well I havent been on here lately to post up my goings on with the XJ. To keep it simple I have Ruffstuff uni-body strengtheners sitting on the shop floor, Riddler Diff covers front and rear in transit to my door step, front and rear ARB's sitting in the shop, Nitro Gear 4.88 gears for both ends sitting on the living room floor, and Warn 9.5ti sitting on the shop floor, and hopefully a set of JCR's sliders, and a front bumper.

Heck of a list to get done before an Evans Creek run later this month

Heres a shot now that I have my camera back.

 

I drove it a couple hundred miles and bought some wheels.

Tires and lift to come...

 

I changed a broken tail pipe bracket and scoped out my engine bay.. thinking about making a cold air intake..

 

yesterday...

drove it to work, pissing oil all over every passer by from the broken fuel pressure sending unit, then changed it after work.

today...

ran it through the car wash and then drove it to work only leaking the normal oil from around the pan and at the oil filter adapter.

 

drove it to work only to turn around and come home 2 hrs later

 

Gave it a bath

 

i drove it to big four ice caves and back. did some time on some gravel so it needs a bath BAD.

 

Got the frontend together again , different borrowed Locker ,I haven`t heard back from Richmond Gear yet on mine. Different tierod to replace the bent and worn out one. Ready to wheel again....

 

mine died today. think i gotta replace the cps

 

Wednesday did a tune up, belt and rear brake change. Then took apart the tracbar and tried to figure it out again. Talked to Rustys yesterday and were all stumped. Waiting on replacement parts now. Was also told I'm in need of a new water pump

 

Drove it : Naches Trail , Ravens Roost lookout, Moon and Funny Rocks ,,then home Long day butt GREAT

 

Might have passed you:

(saturday) I drove "grey jeep" up 676 to shoestring to funny rocks, then to moon rocks and back to 410.

most extensive trail damage I've ever done... and to my poor daily!
Blew out a rear shock, busted a rear window, crushed the front bumper, and mangled my crossmember. Good thing I have spares! I was going to replace the front bumper anyway.... Dash fell apart, radio fell out, broke the shift ****, and the lower dash flew open.

In other words, I had fun!

Its been given a new name, though, by one of the guys i was wheeling with: The Duck, because of all the duct tape I had to barrow to hold all the pieces on...

 

I removed the ugly faded sports trim.. now i need to get rid of all the tape residue

 

I Killed my alarm and got it started again, Now i get o have no door panel for a while.

 

Replaced my clutch finally what a PITA! While I was under the jeep, installed new 4.5 RE Coils to level out everything and reinstalled my rear hitch
