To do lists?
 

Anyone else have a long, expensive "to do list" for their Xj?

Here is mine:

Fix Mileage-Problem Unknown
-Replace sensors
-Check and/or swap fuel injectos

Change trasmission fluid

Change front differential fluid

Fix rear main seal

Fix pinion seal

Replace oil pan, rusted badly in several spots

Replace water pump and metal hose that is almost rusted through

Flush coolant

Fix multiple rust spots, and undercoat better

Find and fix whatever is making the howling noise in the rear end

Fix/Adjust steering


So many things to do....does every jeep owner live with this? No time, or money for a lift or anything because of all of this. Of course I could live without fixing a few of these, but I know they will just end up getting worse or causing other problems when I don't need them.

I need to replace my weather stripping

change oil

fix flood light

get my 4 wheel checked out (acting funny but i haven't had time to look at it)

and I'm sure there's more, but hey...she runs good.

EDIT: and replace my center counsel.

yes man. I just got done with my long expensive. the last two are to install my new 3 core radiator. and Belt. But damn is it worth it when you're done.

I have a complete Rusty`s OffRoad 4.5" suspension liftkit that`s been sitting in my basement for 6 years (Got it off a Cherokee at the local junkyard) I`ll get around to installing it "someday". Also I have 2 nice offroad/work lights mounted to my front bumper which look cool but actually arent hooked up to anything. I bought the switch and wiring to do it but have never gotten around to it.

Here's my to-do list.

Replace driver's seat
Headlight Conversion - Rampage H4 kit
Buy/Install Hella FF75 Fog lights
Buy 4 new shocks, and 2 leafs
Install axle u-joints
replace pinion seal on front differential
buy rims (probably Cragar Soft 8's) and tires
Buy stock replacement air filter box at a pick 'n pull
K&N Replacement air filter
replace tie rod
replace drag link
replace steering stabilizer

Maybe I'll win the lottery....lol
