got rear ended

 

new bumper time..haha

 

which is fine since i want to get rid of the tail bone anyways

 

Im sure it will sell quick if wasn't damaged.

 

And people wonder why we like daily driving our XJs! Did the car even scratch the paint on your XJ!?

 

gas gas tank skid is pretty scratched up, ive got some scrapes on the leaf springs, exhaust tips mangled, bumpers slightly bent up.

the guy drove under me, haha. didnt even break my back up lights!

 

replaced the pressure line on the power steering on tuesday, it had a hole in it that would **** fluid everywhere when turned full lock in any direction. lucklily o'reilys by my hose had one in stcok. when i loosed the fitting in the pump it took that whole threaded piece of the pump out with it and now that part leaks so i get to take it apart again this week and fix it

on the other side i got the pitman arm finished up this week, all thats left is to clean and paint the last caliper and ill have all the parts. i just need stuff to quit breaking so i can finally get this upgrade done and worry about saving for the 5.3

 

-fixed my squeaky rear brake, i realized i put the outer pads on the wrong sides when i did my rear disc swap so it was a bear to bolt the caliper on and required a lot of wiggling which caused the pad clips to bend thus causing the pad to wiggle and squeak, took about 45 min and some brake grease and no more squeaky

-installed new black one piece lug nuts, old once were getting hard to put on and the caps were missing off some of them

-fixed my exhaust from the accident. ratchet strapped it in a few strategic and bent it back where it belonged and bent out the crumpled part of the tip, not too pretty but will be going away in 6 months any ways

-assembled the passenger side wj swap components on the bench to make sure everything cleared like it was supposed to. all i needed was was 2 washers to space out the caliper from the knuckle properly, much less than i thought i would

 

Here's to progress

 

link to the lug nuts?

 

x2... been lookin' for a set for mine

 

they worki great and look good too

 

pic of them on your wheels?

My wheel locks are chrome though...

 

Problem solved...

 

if i remember il snap a pic of them in the morning, i like them, the blend in well, and they srew on so much better than my old factory ones
