I took off the side moldings. Still have to clean the double sided tape off. But it looks a lot better.

Goof off works great for that

Finally got mine back on the road after an axle swap, new brakes, ball joints etc. Good to have her driving smoothly again!

Wow, cannabis is so potent these days it needs a decoder?

Looked over my XJ to evaluate the hail damage from last nights storm in San Antonio. I figured the new dimples would make it more aerodynamic like a golf ball. All the glass held up, thankfully.
Not sure if I should try my hand at dent repair or just look for a new hood.
Finding a good WJ drivers seat might get a little easier after the insurance companies total a bunch of cars around here. Which, honestly, sucks.

It took me five minutes with a pair of pliers to pull them off. I'm happy I did there was all sorts of mud and salt and dirt just waiting to rot out my doors. Next I'm going to clean them and paint the bottom panels black along with some Cherokee stencils I'm playing with at work.

Need to replace ball joints. Going to replace hubs and possibly u-joints while I'm at it. Broke all the hub bolts free and ran them out. Need to pick up a 36mm socket but at least those crusty beggars are out.



PB Blasting the hubs until I get the right size socket. Hopefully they don't fight too hard.
