No drilling or tapping... Just remove the seatback latching brackets and reinstall with the mounts behind them with the same hardware. They were $60(!).

Well we worked on my girlfriends Jeep if that counts...finally put the soft top on today. What a PITA, mopars directions and just the way it's put together sucks. But it's on and we can actually go topless and doorless in her JK rather than just the silly freedom top.

Today I had the pleasure of changing out my fuel pump........with a full tank of gas..........I had just filled up the night before it died.

This came in real handy siphoning the tank as well as filling it back up.

I drove mine today for the first time since October.........

My Audi has spoiled me. Comparatively my XJ is prehistoric.

Great little pump. Looks just like the one I got from harbor freight. I use it to drain and fill diff fluid.

We have the same one at work we used to pump water out of toilets for winterizayion. It gets clogged real quick but for 5 bucks.

I've been driving the CJ 7 this last week and the XJ feels so much more sophisticated and comfortable.
