Filled it up (15.234 gallons) after 276.2 miles and figured slightly more than 18mpg.

Much better than the 14mpg the PO was getting. It's amazing what a little tuneup will do.

 

hi everyone im new to the forum and this is the first thread that caught my attention,today i trimmed my rear bumper into a slant style where the bumper caps go on,its juat untill i get another rear bumper cuz the stock one is ALWAYS hitting the rocks on the way up on steep inclines

 

Fixed the flat tire I had, apparently just got some mud in the bead from it being aired down so no real damage just needed to reseat the bead. Jeeps ready for another round at Uwharrie tomorrow

 

Screwed with the NNS, bouth front pads, then chained it up and pulled bush and tree stumps out with it. Now if I could only get a hyd. bucket up front and a cutting deck for underneath it....

 

took out the front fender flares, dont know what I will do..

 

Drove my jeep to work and then back home.

 

Put power slot brake rotors on it and then when dad rolled up in the drive way he was fewmin when i had parts laying all over the place.

 

Today i got ripped off at the boneyard when i pulled a seatbelt cause mine broke and a dipstick for my dads truck and got charged 20 bucks....BUNK!!!!

 

Remind me not to patronize THAT j/y

 

I adjusted the rear brakes on my wife's '91 XJ and repaired a slow leaking tire.

As far as my '88, the list of "wanna do's" is so long, I don't know where to start.

 

Adjusted the front-end so my steering wheel is straight once again.

Couldn't believe how easy the adjuster sleeve was to turn...far cry from adjusting the toe-in. That I had to use a monkey wrench with a cheater pipe, THIS was solely by hand.

 

Wheeled it at Uwharrie, taking the lead of 9 other jeepers and 2 trucks. Only XJ in the group and we saw who was leading the the little wranglers down the trails.

 

changed gear lube, tranny fluid and filter, plugs and wires, valve cover gasket, and greased me some zurks. took me all day thanks to the PO

 

drove it 3 hours to a city down south for the day with my girlfriend just cause. got some senior pics and went around town. cool place







got alot of waves from other jeepers and a few thumbsup on the freeway. also found another red xj in that town that was lifted, herculined rockers, and painted red rims and had roof lights..haha

 

Changed transfer case fluid, got tired, went to bed. Going to do the transmission fluid tommorow!

Also, FYI for everybody, I was taking off the bolt on the transfer case, and the fluid shot out of there with such force, it went OVER my drain pan, OVER the huge stack of newspapers, and went all over my garage floor...... yeah.....
