Got bored and decided to relocate my AIT sensor onto my aem intake today. There was an unused 1/2 in tube on the intake pipe that is now used haha

Tube was a little long so I fixed that with an angle grinder



Attachment 152697

The sensor threaded itself right into the hole so no problems there but the wires going to it were pulled quite tight so I cut the main group housing back a lil and taped it back up. Also there was a bit to much blood in my index figure so I went ahead and corrected that with the razor as well



Attachment 152698
Plugged the oem hole with a brass plug and wa-la
any benefits to this?

Nice find! They look nice and clean. After 3 years of searching junkyards I found some and just my luck the one side the whole bracket was welded on. So i'm rocking one tow hook probably for another decade till I find another lol. If you did find them in the JY check that xj for skid plates!

2000 xj project "Onix"-image-1163981266.jpgno way I'm putting these rusty hunks on my baby!

So I took a wire shell to them and made em pretty again!



2000 xj project "Onix"-image-3907835106.jpgta daa! Three some Rustoleum black in them for future protection

Now my lazy butt just has to pull my bumper off and slap them on... And also I think I gotta pick up two bolts for the passenger side frame mount holes. But I'll slap them on and if I new the bolts ill just not use that side till I put them in

2000 xj project "Onix"-image-130594129.jpgtook the ol girl out to the dunes finally!

Had a blast out there romping around and I didn't even break nothing haha.

I did how get to experience "heat soak" afterwards which concerned me but thanks to great sites like this one my worries were put to rest and a solution was presented.



2000 xj project "Onix"-image-2259862436.jpgjust me saying hi doesn't look like much cuz the girly decided to tilt the camera for some reason but if ya adjust to match the horizon it looks better haha
