Burped my radiator b/c I flushed it wrong causing it to overheat. Then drove my brother up to Renton to buy his new 90 xj and got back home and we both went off-roading in our new jeeps...both stock still (but not for long) besides the 31s on mine.

I replaced front balljoints and hub/wheel bearing assemblies. I also picked up another front Swaybar from a junkyard. I just couldn't handle the extra role since I drive my Jeep on the road daily. I still had my quick discos too so I put them back on. I've gone wheeling at Walker a couple times since and it works awesome. I am so past ready for another trip to Evansd. I'd really like to be able to get into Reiter soon too.

It's bittersweet.
I'll miss it, twas a good rig, but I was just never thrilled with it and didn't want to keep pouring money into it.
I'll try again in a couple of years now that I learned a few more things about XJs. It certainly won't be my last Jeep, it's just a truck is more practical at the moment.

I replaced the water pump and then tore the upper radiator hose so I replace that too. Now I'm sanding and painting my trailer hitch and tire carrier. Might give that install a shot here after red zone is over

My new oversized adjustable lower control arms from arc-fab came in today so I put them together and sized them up to the factory ones I have on now. BIG difference. They are at least twice the size as the stock ones.
