Did not expect my headliner material to come until next week but it showed up today. So I did that, it turned out okay. The area by the speakers got bunched up, thankfully most of that is hidden by the trim and way out of the way anyway. I had a screw get caught around some of the headliner when I was putting back the one sun visor and it stretched a little unfortunately. Overall much better, I can actually see out the back now.

Got my intake manifold off, stripped all the parts off both manifolds and swapped between the two. Then fixed my exhaust leak, the downpipe had come completely off the exhaust manifold. So after replacing the broken stud and finding a nut for the other, my exhaust system is back together.
Have to wait until tomorrow to get it all back together, need some gasket material before I bolt the throttle body back onto the manifold. But that shouldn't take long.

Swapped the rims and tires between the mj and xj. Also installed fog lamps on the mj. Need to do wire them into ignition on. I hate how they will only come on with headlights. Used factory wiring. Just relocated the relay to next to the battery.

Funny story

I find this add on craigslist. this kid is parting his 2000. I call for the intake manifold for my 4.7 stroker and he says "how much you want to give me for it?" I say $50 for the whole thing with sensors and all and he says ok. (Yessss...)
I show up and the kid is 16 and jeep is pretty beat up from the bush but kid tells me it runs but they ripped the gas line while playing in bushes. (jeep was sitting half way in a ditch)
I'm halfway taking the manifold off and kid says "its going to be very loud now isn't it?"
I paused....... (looking for an answer that wont insult him). " Nope, it won't get any louder...". Paid the $50 and left.

Went to start drilling holes for the RC crossmemeber. Got everything out, drill was dead. Had to take it apart and fix it before I started. Got one side done, I hate drilling. Gonna do the other tomorrow.

Bypassed the power window lockup switch. (It's not working anymore) Sick of hearing "can you roll my window down?" "can you roll my window up?"
Took 2 kids and mom on a trip. It never stopped. (Mom is the worse)ROLL YOUR SNIFFING WINDOW UP YOURSELF ALREADY.
I feel better now. LOL

Took it wheeling today and went through a creek. My buddy was trying to hit a mud hole faster to get through it, but ended up hitting a ditch we didn't know was there. He caught some pretty good air lol.

I didn't do anything to mine, but I bought some stuff for it. I got some Rough Country lower control arms, trac bar, Dick Cepek shocks and a dirtbound offroad fan shroud....For $60.
