Hell yeah I fixed it! I crawled underneath my jeep as soon as I got home and I was going to replace the neutral switch with a used one off a spare trany that I have in my garage as I tried to unbolt the neutral switch I noticed it was loose, it was so loose that it wasnt even finger tight so what I did is I swaped it anyway and my hole trany problem is solved.....this whole time (like 3 months) I was thinking that my trans was bad cuz it kept shifting in and out of O.D but it never threw a code till yesterday. Im super excited

E load. you need to do zj frontsuspension. bigger tie rods put in new axle ujoints new bushings etc or it will beat the xj up. xjs instock trim without engine work or gears DO NOT like 35 or bigger tires.

BUMher: and as for trans service while your at it may as well do a diffs then 2. if I was my rig I would..........

Found the vehicle for my business. Was planning on getting a commander but a bigger house is more important. So here it is.

http://madison.craigslist.org/cto/3752315478.html

Seeing how I won't be going to the Cliff's this weekend due to having two new client's cars coming this Saturday, Sunday will be the day I go and pick it up. Now I have some plans for it seeing how I will be using it for the business and daily driving. Here's the list.

Hella Fog Lights
Magnaflow Cat
Airaid TBS
K&N intake
AFE exhaust
Chrome grille and headlight bezels
Three new ProComp Mts
Extra Cragar wheel
Detours Offroad bumper light bar-for Hella fog lights
Detours Tailbone tire carrier for spare tire.
Alignment


For the vehicle and parts I'm looking at about $6500.00 for everything, way better then the 14K I wanted to pay for the Commander. Though one day I will have a Commander. So a new build thread is sure to follow.

Those tires are garbage. That XJ with the tire carrier is Carl's who's in the club and I much rather spend under 500 bucks then get a JCR offroad knock off. This cherokee is going to be clean, the total definition of a mallcrawler but will still stand out a bit.

So what kind of work will you be doing for your new business? I remember while back you were saying something along the lines of a mobile detail business is that what you're still planning to do

Yep. That Cherokee will be for my mobile side of the business but I also do in house detailing as well. Garage is pretty well set up right now for it. Nothing like spending 7500.00 bucks on products and gear in less then 72 hours, lol.
