Enjoyed reading and watching the awesome build of your XJ. Being that you have a bored throttle body, What if any difference do you think it would make if you added a throttle body spacer. I know a lot of people using them but none have a bored throttle body.

No, I don't lick fish.
Nice updates, man! Hey I like the accent color on that black Jeep. What is that and where did y'all get it?

Ohhhhh man got my AC fixed on the cheap! Went to pick it up and they said it was blowing cold which was a total shock because after my compressor seized and imploded on itself a couple years ago i figured the whole inner system would be screwed! Ol boy said the fuse for the compressor was busted so he put a new one in, put some oil and freon in and pulled a vacuum and it was good to go! $117 woooooooo. Them 100 degrees days aint got nothin on me now!

Poop.
Driving along and hear that ever lame sound of something breaking
Axle shaft seems to be too loose to hold the u-joint cap in place as it just slides into place with a BFH. Gotten suggestions to just weld the cap in place, but the closest thing I have for that is a soldering iron lmao. Maybe i can pick one at a junk yard but i dont think I feel like busting an axle nut on a junkyard jeep. Maybe i can just zip tie it...

A few little things here and there as far as updates go!
Tried to hit the u joint cap with a punch to fill out the ear space but didnt work. New shaft is in and jeep is up and running again. At the junk yard I came across these though! So if anyone is interested let me know
Tried my hand at soldering. Not bad!
Soldered my light bar connections together
Horns were also busted so I picked up these Hella Supertones
Wired them up so that I could stick them behind the grille
Got some horsepower additions as well. Didn't want to go full teenage high schooler with a jeep so this was the next best place I could think of
Hit the trails a bit with my new shaft and GF
And saw this right around the corner from me!
Like I said, a bunch of little things. Trying to save some money so I think Im gonna relax with the jeep for now unless something else explodes
As always, thanks for following

The jeep in that last pic looks like it has a uni-brow and a hitler-stache though
