When you wake up drenched in sweat because you had a dream your xj got wrecked. Then in the dream I ended up putting the post 97 front end and painting it olive green so it had a happy ending.

awww jeeze IDK what size it was......(chick thing) lol, it looked like an old washer hose, but it's prob 1/4 thick, it's been in my garage FOREVER, so I cut off about an inch of it, and yes, I did "open" it up, and shoved it all the way into the latch housing (with the back up already).....with it in there, there is NO room for it wiggle around, hence no squeaking!

YKYDAXJW you wake up to a foot and a half of snow piled up behind you and can't wait to drive to work just so you can plow thru.

Also...when both jeeps Parked on either side have trouble getting out, spinning tires, while it takes you 1 try and in 2 minutes, you're on your way
