Went and looked at new tires and priced some. Decisions, decisions.

 

Eff this rain lol mother nature is such an instigator

 

I took off my intermediate shaft, now I have to go through the pleasure of removing the gear box. FUN!

 

Went to get some flexing shots (sway bars connected) and passed a lifted gold 2 door I had never seen before on the way home, we both honked and waved to each other and then when I got home I found some boxes on my porch.

Very successful day imo!

 

Lol I know right I wish mine was running I would be out their

 

What did I do to my Jeep today? I did 50 on a heavily rutted dirt road to see how it handled it...and the speed limit was 12 sooooo Yeah.....

 

You don't have a Rusty's Trac bar on your XJ do you? Just so you know (if you didn't already) their trac bars are notorious for breaking. There is actually a video on the internet of a Police Cruiser pushing a Wrangler off of the road after it flipped due to a Rusty's trac bar that snapped, other people have similar stories about how they broke off road and some unlucky people have them break on the Highway

 

used it to move everything back into the house since the flood receded

 

Used her to take some stuff out of storage, including a bike that I gave to some young kid in my 'hood, and just got done tryin to teach my girl how to drive stick in the kohls walmart parking lot..... Sorry baby (the jeep that is)

 

Progress so far:

I'm tempted to take it to the office tomorrow with a jigsaw...

 

replaced the steering colume cover. 6 bucks at pick n pull and it came out of a grand cherokee. Also picked up some aftermarket bump stops for the rear(mine are gone) they didnt charge me for them.
