Just curious have you taken a look at your distributor? I started having issues and found that a few contact points were worn completely away. did a complete overhaul on my ignition system. Accel Super Coil and Wires, point, cap ect. kit. What a difference!

What's wrong with STP products? I've personally had good luck with them and Wix.

Cheap build. Not as poor as the low-end FRAM, mind you.

I'm pretty sure what I have is from No Mar, so it would probably be okay, but getting practice is a very good idea.

I was wrong about balancing. I knew my balancer was big enough for motorcycle tires, but forgot that it was too small for Jeep sized tires. So I'll still mount the tires myself, but I'll use dyna beads or something like it for balancing.

Installed the roof rack! Needs some reinforcement and a better paint job but it'll do for this winter.

Tested out my receiver hitch. The XJ can now tow the trailer it was brought home on.



Happy holidays guys! Festive jeep is festive, and this is probably the last photo of it in stock form.

Yeah it's in the plans, but I have a pickup for pulling that tandem. The jeep probably won't see much more than a little utility trailer, kayak/canoe rig or a boat trailer.

I did an injector swap. Installed Bosch 280-155-746. The install went great. Runs better already. Idles better, sounds quieter and runs down the road like a raped ape.

Drove it to class last night and work this morning. Gotta good whiff of oil burning off the engine. Guess this spring's project will be degunking the engine and swapping in the valve cover gasket I bought last summer.

Productive day today. Changed my radiator out finally. Installed a rear Solid diff cover and greased all points. As long as all went well, that should be it for my leaks
