Plugs, wires, cap & rotor on the '99. Didn't know when it was done last ( I just bought it 6 months ago). Plugs looked good but cap was kinda crappy but at least I know what I have now. Other rig comes out of the shop next weekend Can finally mount my new bumper from Creepy Fabrication!

I don't know lol. Im deaf. But people have said it was howling at times and rattling at other times.


When I took the yoke off, it was like 25lbs torque to get it off. The bad bearing caused he pinion to wobble and ate away on the ring gear too

Replaced the radiator, both hoses, thermostat and gasket, water pump and gasket, and the front end u joints. Ended up bending the ears on the passenger side spindle trying to press the old caps off. Had to use a bit of heat and some percussive persuasion to get it back in spec, but all in all, not a terrible day.

Took it out and beat on it and it asked for more. Some days I love my XJ.

Lol I enjoy the awkwardness when people find that out when they are face to face with me. That's how I gauge people, by their reactions.

Ordered my frame stiffeners from DirtBound Offroad. Fronts, mids, and rears. Kinda bummed, found out they are moving out of SoCal, due to the crappy business environment here. Sad.

Painted it with bedliner to cover all off the scratches and chips in the paint and changed the signal and side markers to clear lenses.
