Ooouuuuuch... yeah that's what I was thinking of!

Quote: Let me see how my U-Joints go, (never done one before) and then I can decide if my help is worth offering to you haha!
You can "rent" (borrow) a press from PartSource, basically you buy it and get 100% refund, or Princess Auto frequently has sales on their U Joint/Ball Joint kit.

Quote: Yesterday I put in a new battery. I made the mistake of trusting Google Maps and where i wanted to go wasn't where they said it was Pulled over to try figure out why, shut off the Jeep to save gas, but forgot to turn off the headlights
That's why I just can't bring myself to take the buzzer out of my fuse box... as annoying as that little b@$tard is, I will smooth forget to kill my lights at the worst possible time. Murphy follows me around constantly some days.

I swapped out my header panel, grille and headlamp doors for the ones I pulled from the Country trim XJ in the JY a couple weeks ago... Looks really odd with my flat black plasti-dipped hood but I do really like the all body-colored front end.




One week following all the cooling system servicing and my gauge stays nailed to the 210-215 degree mark... Much better!

Wow, someone knows where Parham is! LOL Yes I'm out near the dark sky area, tons of OFSC trails and other interesting roads and paths.

Is there a 2nd buzzer? My 95 has a seatbelt buzzerbut no buzzer for the headlights.

Hmm, mine never buzzed about the seatbelts, however I think my front belts have been swapped from an older XJ or my rear ones are from a newer XJ. The fronts are the older style metal buckles and I'm not sure what year they changed, but my rear belts are the newer plastic style with the orange buttons... one of these things doesn't belong. But they work and I rarely have rear seat passengers anyhow.

My Jeep didn't come with the buzzer for the ignition/lights, I pulled one from the JY and stuck it in the fuse box after the first time I left my lights on.

ALRIGHT! The moment you've all been waiting for...

What I did to my Jeep.... today...

NEW FEET!!!! Finally swapped out the wheels. No more rubbing on the LCAs and sway bar. I can turn lock to lock with no rubbing. Man, I missed these wheels. They look so much better too.

Before...



After...

That was just way too punny

Thanks man. I definitely like the look and stability of having the wheels further out.
