Complete cooling system overhaul. New everything, except a heater core/electric fan. Both were functioning great. I only used OEM and quality OEM spec replacement parts for the overhaul. 104 degrees out this afternoon, 1.5 hours of around town stop and go driving, lots of stop lights, a/c on high, and the 01 XJ never rose above 205. It was previously creeping up to 215 degrees under the same conditions. Auxiliary fan never kicked on today and the a/c seemed to blow colder. I've got a happier Jeep.

Bought another one after being Jeep-less for a month and a half. I couldn't resist it.

Only $500 with sub's and amp included.
Needs the driver's door hinge re-welded and a new TC.

Bought Raider a gift. He'll sit for so long sometimes the battery goes dead. Since I have to drive the Ranger to keep it from dying. Got a Solar panel so I don't have to worry about the plug coming out of the wall and I can park it in the street now. Also this was actually cheaper than a trickle charger.

I doubt it'll charge a full-on car battery but It'll keep it from draining.

I ended up cutting a pin for my passenger door because it refused to let go, then had to use a torch, big hammer and a punch to get it apart. Half my reason behind NOT doing the rears. But I've been tempted to to them recently anyways.

Took it for a couple test drives. The first one I had some punk kids throw an egg at me, I thought they did it cause I had no doors, but there was no way they could have known cause it was dark and we were going opposite ways (thankfully they hit my bumper and not me). The second one I had someone yell " where the hell are your doors?" I expected this from people so I got a good chuckle out of it
