Fixed it. I originally typed 1.6 but I meant 2.5ish. It should be a 20 gallon.

Used trim adhesive to tack up my sagging headliner around the rear sound bar. Got my OFA seal kit from dealership for under $5! Then I broke/sprained my skinny pedal foot tripping on some stairs. Waiting at ER for x-rays :^/

Most tanks are rated for a set amount like 20 gal but do not hold that capacity because with heat the fuel vapor expands and it would be pushed out the filler neck. I havnt seen too many people fit about 18 gallons in their tanks.

Welcome to the club! Im a little over 242k right now. These Jeeps just keep on going, I've been impressed with mine, one of the most reliable vehicles I've ever owned is my XJ.

I took mine wheeling today. The rain we have been getting made my favorite local trail more challenging than usual. Great day of wheeling.

Washed the evil road salt off. Courtesy of my bad memory and the ventshades obscuring the tip of my windows, I also washed off the dash and steering wheel.
