put 2 in coil spacers on giving my xj a frekin beast look. I had to level out cause of the weight added by the winch and bumper. A little work was involved but not that hardd.

Once I washed the Jeep all up pretty the other day, I realized the rock sliders were all rock rashed from the last wheeling trip. Got out the rattle can and a chunk of cardboard and touched them up.

Finally figured out why my transmission stopped shifting when cold...who knew mud would hang a TPS up in the throttle body. Did some measurements to plug into a 4 link calculator(actually downloaded from Pirate).

Got my CB installed and working, had some issues with a ground at first, but tightening up the plug fixed that right away.

How hard was the rear main seal job?

I changed oil, replaced oil cap & changed fuel filter even tho old one looked great.

Dude, that sucks...and it's LOW of whoever hit-and-ran you...I'd file a police report if I were you, and watch for neighbors' vehicles with corresponding dents ....

Good luck!

Default leak hunting

Today I started hunting down a leak I have coming from the radiator or one of the hoses. I shoots a small stream out thru the grill onto the bumper on the right side. No a big leak but annoying, it looks like a dog peed on my bumper.....hey where is my dog anyway... Also, I spent a few hours trying to get the ashtray smell out of the interior.
