I'm jealous of Jame's score.....which can be seen pictured above (It's the silver 2000xj) I am currently talking to a guy with one for $850 with "engine" troubles. I am trying to go look at it Thursday night.

Tested the new springs and bumper capabilities for towing....they both worked great! No squat from the springs at all.

I bent them as much as I could by hand and then laid a short 2x4 lengthwise and hit it with a hammer right on the crease. If that makes any sense

I just cleaned the contact areas really well with a wire brush and brake cleaner and the used a liberal amount of black rtv, folded the panel and then ran sheet metal screws through it to pull it all together. I then taped it off and coated it with a liberal amount of 3m rubberized undercoating.
