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.

EDIT: and replace my center counsel.

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.

So far as I know right now:
Brakes
Rebuild NSS
rear bumper
pull door panels and see why some power locks don't quite work, prob the actuators
Wiper switch, I think. Only works on high and you have to manually turn off blinkers.
paint.
