New issue, something electrical. At random times it will idle rough, and if I touch the throttle all electrical shuts off. Turn the ignition off, then it will crank over and fire for a few seconds then die.

Let it sit for 20-30 min and it wi run fine again? Already cleaned the grounds.

When I went to pull the fenders off my parts rig, I found someone stole the steering collum and air filter... Who knows what else is gone that I didn't notice....

Fixed what I thought was a bad throw out bearing...

Turns out the bell housing bolts backed out and the trans was sitting about 1/4" away from the block.

Tightened the bolts no more noise, guess I should check them more often then every 20k miles.

Test fitted, look'n good I think. Time to do a couple finishing touchs and paint it. Decided to finally use some lights I'd been saving for the jeep.

Figured I might as well do a little update on this.

Iv done pretty much nothing to it!

Jeep won't start, wen I turn the key nothing happens.

Tried jumping the solenoid and the starter spins, but won't engage. Sounds like it's time for a new starter again.

Yes. Already went threw and cleaned grounds along with new ends on the battery cables.

I found some 31" TSL's that I might pick up for my zj, if I do that this xj will be getting the 33" boggers that are currently on my zj.

I think these would do a bit better then the wore out bfg's...
