Took it out to the local abandon nudist pool. Got some good night shots, sadly from a phone. Will take the good camera next time.

- found a blown arm bushing which explains the noise I am hearing.
- put the heater tube back in that goes in the center console.
- sucked out brake fluid from master and replaced with new stuff. It was pretty nasty and I did the same thing about 3000 miles ago.
- sucked out clutch fluid and put new stuff back in. Wasnt too bad since I flushed the system 5000 miles ago.
- sucked out the power steering fluid and put new stuff back in. I couldnt get all the existing trans fluid out when I swapped gear boxes so it mixed with the ps fluid. Probably need to do this 2 more times.
- adjusted the steering linkage so that my steering wheel was centered. Was just a hair off before.

Nice! Glad you got it. Any rust? If none, make it 4wd and keep it.

Some rust in the floor, but the frame rails looked solid. $509 for a one owner 130,000 mile Comanche isn’t bad. Main issue at the moment is the brakes and clutch.

Not mine, but the guy I work with has an ‘00 that wouldn’t start. Found no power to the injectors. Traced back to the ASD w/ help from FSM diagrams. ASD relay was bad, dropped a new one. Fired right up.

Installed a new water pump today on the XJ.

And I was blessed by the Jeep gods that all the bolts came out the way they were supposed to after a good soak from WD40, even the pump pulley bolts weren't bad.... so just messy, greasy, but thankful nothing broke off in the block, and didn't even have to take the fan clutch off to get to it
Good thing I did it when I did, it would've been a very short trip before it completely poo'd itself.

Took the XJ for a road test/trip. Ran great.
