Time for a little update, I know once again its been a while. Well I took her to the Jeeps in the Vineyard show in November. have a pic from that:

OK so I reall haven't done anything to it in a few except actual repairs. .. the Jeep has been my daily driver for a while so no off roading .. or big projects ... however not I just got a 2000 S10 2WD pickup now that has changed
I have had the Jeep at work for a few days, due to no time to work on it ...have having a issue with it running hot, but didn't get to deal with it until today.
About 2 weeks ago, It got a new exhaust, as the old one broke right at the tail of the muffler, so new Tailpipe, Thrush Muffler, and some random pieces of exhaust pipe that got replaced. then figured out the Harmonic Balancer was coming apart, so changed that with the belt and the idler pulley, as the belt has some glazing and the idler pulley has been shot for quite some time ... Also pulled the Winch for warranty and just got the replacement Friday.
So that brings us to today. First off , I finally manage to get the piece of windshield trim that got torn off last time I did take the Jeep out. also scored a piece of interior trim my wife's ZJ missing. After that headed to the shop and brought the XJ into the shop. Pulled the Radiator and replaced that (I love lifetime warranties lol) as well as new upper and lower radiator hoses. serviced the diffs, and couple of other things. After I was done I decided that I should get some flex pics ... so I grabbed the companies forklift and flexed her out. here are the pics from that:





so as you see, I have not vanished into thin air, and the Jeep is alive and well, just been overly busy with work and home issues.
