Although it was an awesome pic, My Transmission was destroyed. Now it sits in my garage, awaiting attention.. Then I got tired of my wife and we separated. Remember that other XJ? It's mine now.

So now I have two.. I have already started on the dark blue one..

Bed liner on the rockers and flares, roof rack, old school tube bumper. This one has the AW4, 8.25 rear, and the A/C works... I'm debating on throwing the suspension from the angry black one on it and running 32's, but who knows what kind of wild things I will do..

Here are some pics as it sits now.

Nice! What transmission did the other one have? AW4 also?

I'm guessing water got inside after that trip eh?

It's an AX-15. I'm debating on getting it rebuilt, but I dunno. I really want to go full widths on it.

Those pictures of you wheeling were bad ***. You should definitely rebuild the AX-15. There's not enough Cherokees with manual transmissions. That's too bad about your wife but it must be awesome to have two XJs. I would just make the other one a daily driver if I were you. Maybe swap the 8.25 in the angry Jeep if you don't already have one. Or full widths would be even better but I would wait until my axles broke to do that.

My brakes went out on me yesterday... At a red light. I went into the intersection and downshifted and slammed it into park to miss a car. Then I put it in drive and pinned the skinny pedal to miss a truck??? I had the kids in the car with me!!



So I limped back home and changed out the booster with no positive results.. The pedal goes straight to the floor. The brake light is on in the dash and My reseviour is full of fluid.. Ideas?

Oh and for your help......

Did the pedal drop, or stick? Important distinction, helps to localise the fault...

Oh - and where can you get the PF dog tags? I like that. Hopefully, they can also do "1*" tags ("One Asterisk." Say it to yourself, you'll get it...)

After replacing the booster and the reservoir, I now have firm pedal pressure. But no fluid from the rearmost bleeder valve.. I pulled the lined from the res and fluid came out.. I don't get it..

I would spoon with her cherokeechick. But she would have to take off those boots cause that would ****in hurt.

When you do that you gotta bleed the master cylinder and then start bleeding the breaks at the furthest point away from the master cylinder first. So rear passengers side

For the record I'd deal with the heals if I had to hahaha

We did bleed the MC. And then I moved to passenger rear and nothing happened. The pedal stayed firm with the bleeder taken all the way out..
