Based on all my research, and now on personal experience it does work. The jeep purrs now. All the reading I did about peoples "horror stories" are mostly hearsay and they all either did the treatment wrong or just didnt do it at all and are just product snobs. It's like owning a 1911. Sure I have a rock island and it was inexpensive but by no means is it a worse gun than a Wilson combat. It does what I want it to do.

 

Gonna do something about these thangs today....sway bar linkage? What are the rubber peices on the front bracket things called lol? I need new of those to I think

 

The end link looks bent, and from that pic I can see how trashed the main sway bar bushings are.

 

+1

Easy fixes, though.

 

Not bent just the make of it that year...got linkage out but was wondering if discos are a good idea at this point but I can't seem to get this out...

Btw got a price for new linkage at advanced auto for 27.99 each...comes with bushings

 

Discos are a good idea only if you need the flex capability. Don't know how much off-roading you do.

For my 2wd, I left that bolt in when I got the new linkage. No issue. My 4x4 got JKS discos, which required the removal. I believe I just pressed it out; IIRC, it's not threaded on.

 

I'll need to look into getting new linkage for mine, I am running with it just straight disconnected (I know... I like to live dangerously). But to make my first post in this thread, Ihave been whoopin some but today:
Oil Change
Tire Rotation
Seafoam the brake booster
Take measurements for new floor boards
Deep clean my wheels since I had them off (front and back)
And the most important thing.... I gave my XJ some love for treating me so well!

 

So it was running badly and that prompted you to do the seafoam treatment?

 

Picked up a sound bar and overhead console for 50 bucks

 

Added Duplicolor bed armor spray can to the tj flares to at least draw less attention since they are the wrong color. Gonna add a few more coats then take pics. Off to do a rear main in 3.5hrs before my Timken unit bearing arrives at the store. The rear main is Felpro with improved design so we will see if it beats the mopar original..and followed with a Felpro 1 piece rubber to replace the RTV I used back when I first got it.

 

what does your over head looks like? I think I may have had one but it just snapped I might be looking to put something else up there instead.

 

Jumped off a guy at a gas station, put my wreath on, drove around town, put in $45 in gas, bought a bumper, loaded it up with a T.V. for my brother, bought 6.5 alpine speakers for $40 at best buy and am contemplating the tiny Alpine 4 channel amp

 

Well with the kind of mileage and age on the vehicle and the lack of knowing the PO's maintenance ability, I decided to do it because I felt it needed it after seeing all the crap in the valves when I replaced the valve cover gasket.

 

Ordered my 3" lift and BPEs. Can't wait to relift her the proper way this time round

 

Use alot of heat and it will come out
