Yesterday, spent 9 and a half hours on the highway in and out of traffic, mostly at 75-85mph...no "oh crap" lights, no off/"is that new" feeling, no "geezuz, what's that" noises...love my XJ.

Aside from pulling my wheels out of a mud pit, the clips are the only thing I've been able to find for my XJ out of countless visits. Still haven't found anything for my TJ.

I Sea-foamed the crap out of the jeep this morning, now I already notice a difference in MPGs, acceleration, and throttle response especially with the bored out throttle body and high flow cat now.

Ok so I previously replace my intake 4.0 liter and I ended up with an extra throttle body with all the sensors, fuel rail with injectors. Looking to see if anyone on here is in need of these parts, I'd sell the at a reasonable price plus shipping. They came off a 1999 4.0 liter with an automatic transmission. What's a reasonable price for the throttle body and the rail w/injectors?

I can tell you know the injectors are worth next to nothing. Rail needs some cleaning up to address the rust. Is the dampener in the middle leaking?

I'm going to "refurbish" my grille and get it back to a nice black but, should I do a gloss black or a satin black?

I got insurance through USAA and re-registered it. Also because my IRO BPE's got hella rusty and one broke I'm currently trying to get a bar pin in it so I can drive it. Stupid shocks.

Or maybe I'll get ballsy and make some temp bpe's or something.

I was also working on cleaning it out. And getting a new battery for it. Tomorrow it goes to Pomps!

Put the injector insulation on the #3 injector on the WJ. Hopefully that help the heat soak and cure the #3 misfiring code.
