my brakes suck anyways, but they haven't changed much. i need to fix a vacuum leak that's kind of depleting my power brakes. i want a double core brake booster or whatever out of a new xj. but i haven't made my trip to the junkyard yet. I was thinking about when i have the money, i want to put rear disks on. off of a wj. but i have to wait. =/ money's real tight right now.

I have named my Jeep. We've been through a lot together already so i thought she really needed a name. My friend's and i having all different vehicles decided to name all of ours. My Jeep's name is Janice the Jeep. My friend's 4runner you saw earlier in this thread stuck in the mud, is Tanya the Toyota. My friend's bronco ii, (rest it's soul, it blew up trying to pull me out of a ditch when i didn't have my front driveshaft in, it blew the oil pressure sensor right out of the block, with a chunk of block with it. and made a nice crack in the side.) was Betty the Bronco. He got a new one and it's lifted so a little bit peppier so we named it Brittany the Bronco, and my Friend's Rodeo is Ranae the Rodeo. that's what we've got so far. tell me what you think about Janice fitting my Jeep.

Now I need to find a place to put the name "Janice" on it. I was thinking the bumper, or license plate holder or something. but i don't want it to look lame. So i'm going to put some thought into this one.

thanks, now that i cut them, i get NO rub. I still haven't got a full flex, those pics were poser flex pics, i had about two inches more tuck on the back right tire before they hit bump stop. But i can't get a full flex until i get a front drive shaft, which will probably be tomorrow, hopefully. I'll take pictures of what i get from the Junk Yard.

finally made that junk yard run and snagged up some cool stuff. I got some 5.0 injectors, Wood Grain dash bezel, and a front drive shaft. I'm LOVING the new dash. so much more comforting and warming, makes me feel at home when i'm offroading. =) I'll take pictures tomorrow.
