And.. you know you drive an XJ when you would never take your XJ to a shop for a water pump replacement because you don't know that you can trust the tech's at said shop more than doing it with your own hands.

By shop I meant out in my garage. No way I was going to pay a shop to mess with my Jeep.

Oh I know. I still have all the stock fender plastic crap and, no matter how clean it is, I can spray up under all the plastic and the water comes out muddy.
