It was a 2-day process but I replace the heater core and AC evaporator. What a friggin' job. I also scrapped and re-glued the headliner, I'll do it again later when I find the right fabric but this will keep the annoyance factor down. I also spent an hour re-wiring the rear gate, the wires frayed and caused a short.

All total it took about 15 hours, not to shabby but every inch of my body is sore from contorting and bending to get everything to fit and line up. My hands have been sucked of every bit of moisture from them.

Must be nice to be able to roll your rig without damaging it.

Condemned the Jeep to the scrapyard
She's got too much rust to pass inspection. I'll be on the lookout for a replacement next year.

Has anyone done a high idle mod on a 4.0 with the Chrysler ECU? I'm wondering how easy and cheap it will be to do. I searched but came up with nothing relevant.

Don't plan on it. I will be the only xj out on tree trail in the group so I need to make sure I'm not always broken.

Damn rear upper shock mounts broke again. I'm giving up on welding the damn things on. Welding upside down is just NOT gonna work I guess lol.

Gonna Fab up some bolt on BPEs since I a) dont wanna pay for them and b) don't like the designs that turn the shock the wrong way.

I got a pioneer stereo package. Deck, 6.5 and 6x9 speakers for $99 thru best buy deal of the day. WAs working on the install over the weekend and the new speaker has a lower cut off for the high notes than the factory?!? Im thinking that the tweeter in the new speaker isnt working cuz it should easier out perform a the factory 12 year old speakers. Also I noticed a rattle/buzz when I first installed the speakers. It seems to have stopped now, anyone ever have this with new speakers?
