the phone definitely did it.

well lets just say my Jeep has taken a nice step towards being legal, and the deputies I hang with will no longer be giving me **** for this.

Well as it's been stated my priorities list is ****ed. Plans have changed a little.

I have new fenders and flares waiting to be put on along with CB radio hooked up, durango steering box and hood vents.

well an update on the Jeep

went to Assateague and drove on the beach. E-fan wasn't turning on, and I don't think I deflated the tires enough (was at about 15 psi) and it overheated. Tried getting it off the beach, we were really far down.

Basically radiator blew, and the head gasket decided to go as well.

Ordered new radiator yesterday, and I'm going to wait to be debt free to do anything else. Then I'll be saving up and going on a mass Jeep part spending spree and basically be overhauling the entire Jeep.

going to start acquiring some parts now

I will be getting a Ford 8.8 within 2 weeks. After that I'm going to be ordering a gasket set, APN header, radiator tubes, 195* thermostat.

I really should get around to installing the parts I have here like the durango steering box, hood vents, and actually hooking up my CB.

Are you running 3.55 gears with those 33s? If yes what kind of mileage do you get?

Yes i was on 3.55 gears with the 33s.

I was getting 16-17 mpgs, and i could have easily gotten a little bit better but i'm a big fan of the skinny pedal

gasket set, APN header and another putco harness are currently on their way to my house. Will be going by the local auto parts store to get the other things, and then hopefully I will be driving my Blue XJ again.

my white XJ needs the rear brakes done and I can start driving that daily again.

Nice. Sounds fun. The 8.8 is a fun axle to work with.
