Lol well that was a good find.

Well I put my engine bay back together then after sons of guns I will grab the motor in the back yard and bring everything to the front to drop it all in this weekend I'm stoked

 

No pics but I installed my reverse glow lights. Among other things I will post pics once I have a camera... And I finish the other things that I took apart on the XJ

 

my jeep took me fishin

 

removed rear fender, folded under, painted

 

Got a brand new pro comp steering stabilizer from a customer for $10 bucks and installed it. World of difference

 

Got my steering box, stabilizer, and brake adjusters. Unfortunately it didnt take the 4 hours I was told... instead it took eight an a half hours... which I sat through. At least I got a set of free mudflaps and two coupons for two free oil changes.. I guess it was worht it.

While waiting I also picked up some cheap car soap, cheap undercoating, Back to black, and an aerosal tar and bug remover... cleaning her up tomorrow.

 

Well what did i do.... To the old gal? Cut some rear meat off an rolled it (:

 

Dreamt about her then went and bought some tools with her in mind... tomorrow on the other hand...

 

Used it to get up onto my roof cuz I'm bored

 

Finally got my last seal from the parts house. Transfer case went back in the Jeep today. I still need to get some ATF from Farm and Fleet, frickin' part houses must think their fluids contain gold flakes or something, seven bucks a pop per quart? Crazy...

 

I worked on taking the rear hitch off my other xj to put on my better xj lol. Damn hitch fell on me! It hurts when it drops onto your chest cavity!!

 

Well I Was able to find Tires cheap!!! The problem is...I don't have enough money to Get gears done... So I order 1.25" spidertrax wheel spacers, and am getting 33 x 12.50 M/Ts... So when I get enough money. I'm re-gearing to 4.56 and doing the 8.8 LSD axle swap. I figured this is a better way to go. Then 6.5" lift with long arms next.. (My 5" is sagging now after having it for so long so new lift kit later on after college. Rough country or Iron Rock, or Full traction) Any opinions??? radius, vs, 3 link vs 4 link lol.

anyways. Tomorrow installing the wheel spacers so I can push the tire out to line up with my Bushwackers cus they sit in to much and it drives me nuts, and i will need the backspacing for the 12.50 tire...

And to all those that say just buy new rims... I LOVE my rims, they are 3 months old and I'm not going to buy new rims cus either way you look at it.. your still adding more wear. so bleh.. LOL And the spidertrax are best on market wheel and hub centric grade 8 hardware...Breaking their lug nuts isnt any different then breaking a regular one...

 

I did some work on the new hi-flow cooling system I am installing.
The PO "upgraded" the original cooling system which is actually worse for this engine, but he put in a "open type" 91' radiator and heater valve and regular coolant res.

I am reverting it back to factory recommended cooling system but with hi-flow parts and a tripple core all aluminum radiator. Switching back the hoses and heater valve back to stock was a mother flower but it was fun.

 

Just did the rear U-Joints... vibration gone. Funny how a simple u-joint can make your rig vibrate right off the road.

 

Haha I know! I have a million things I still want to do to it and I just wait for every paycheck to get it done. I might be buying a snorkel this weekend!
