Now this right here is almost a sign of the apocalypse. "when 4 sons of the great xj align, clouds Will form and thunder Will roll through the heavens."

Oh holy Hell today is a crappy day. I need to stop rambling. Ok back on topic.

I went from reg to synthetic blend to full Mobil 1 synthetic back to synthetic blend then to high mileage again for the winter all within 60k miles. Jeep didn't blow up. I've ever put reg and synthetic in the same time cause i didn't know what oil my work pickup had in it. Didn't blow up...yet.

On topic, please. Plenty of those threads exist.

Filled the tank in the YJ on the way home from work. Monthly meet is this evening for the club I hang out with.

Washed it yesterday. Rained today. Still trying to locate the clunk coming from the front. It's as if the axle is shifting left to right but i've checked and rechecked the track bar and mount and there is no play. Steering will be next...

+1, on monday when I started her up it wasnt that cold, but you could definitely hear the clunking of the rods or pistons slapping away

ok so today i fixed up the hack job from the previous owner on the front fenders (still need to throw some fender trim on there but i painted it black for now until i decide if im going to bed line them later on. Also i maid up some quick disconnects (still need to add another washer in there. Might throw two of them in and shave one down really low for a nice and snug fit. Overall, about 1 and a half of work.
