Default Removed wires

Hi All,

I got a 2001 xj a couple weeks ago and yesterday I decided to install a cb radio. Now I got this vehicle from a local police department where it served as an accident investigation car as evidenced by the small splattering of florescent green paint in the back and the stack of the " what to do after an accident" cards in the glove box. But the biggest surprise was the amount of wires that were left under the back seat and the mat. They just clipped the wires and removed the electronic boxes, leaving the wires in place. I took all the extra wires out and thankfully it still runs. I also attacked the adhesive that was left over from the stickers that covered fenders, doors and back. Soon I will be done with that job so the pucker bushes can do their pinstripe magic. Radio is in and working. Here's a picture of some of the stuff I've removed and or replaced

Checked fluids. Cleaned up my power steering hoses. Pretty sure one is leaking. Gonna find out tomorrow.

Also switched out my battery terminals.
