Installed my old 'Synergy Suspension' progressive rate coils. 170 lb. final spring rate (from research). Intended for TJ/LJ
Compared to RubiconExpress 4.5" coils, the progressives are 1" taller both installed and on the bench.
Also, the wire diameter is 1/16" larger and has 1 more wind.
The ride is great matched with Bilstein 5100 10" travel and BDS leaf springs.
But it's a bit high for 31"s.

Moved to southeast Alaska, and found that I have a serious leak somewhere on the passenger front side. Pulled pass seat out and had a puddle under carpet. Going to pull everything else out now, pull out the carpet and find this mess!!
Because its always wet here, I was thinking of just 86ing the carpet and bed-lining it.

New yoke and u-joints on the rear driveshaft. Driveline specialists here in town hooked it up! Smooth under power and out of gear. What a relief to not have to worry about that anymore.

I didn't do anything to the XJ today. I did however convert a friend at school into buying a XJ and he'll also do a zombie theme. Gonna take him to the JY this weekend to teach him some stuff.

I have tried as hard as I could to avoid the zombie theme, but it is capturing my interest.

Check to see if your exhaust pipe is touching the trans/transfer case crossmember. If so, inspect your trans and engine mounts for wear.
