I installed a new coolant temp sensor last night, it was starting hard (would need gas to start with long crank time) and it was occasionally backfiring. After look at fuel trims, it was off and it was running too lean. Replaced the sensor and it starts first crank and runs so much better!

As promised here is a pic of my new to me spectre cowl intake! The sound isn't bad at all in the cab, overall I like it a lot. Not bad for $50
where the heck did you get that intake? I cannot find them anywhere online

I actually found it locally, a guy was parting out his jeep and didn't even list it.. I just saw it in the corner of the picture and got it for $50.

Looks like we have the same wheels and tires..lol I'm running mine at 25psi but i haven't been able to drive my XJ to figure out if that's where they'll be staying.

I run mine at 28psi. I'll actually be getting a set of cragar soft 8s someone soon so I can wheel it without worrying about hurting an alloy wheel.

Spent my day fixing/soldering wires back together in my girlfriends jeep. So much better now that it's all together and cleaned up. No more wiring gremlins!

Honestly I was a bit nervous about it. I've always used heat shrink but after using the liquid tape I'm very pleased! I used about 3 coats on each wire. I highly recommend it!

Thank you! I appreciate that! Not a whole lot going on lately, been crazy busy with work and starting to pay back college.
