Run the AC after dark and check the water dripping out the drain line for glowing dye.

How about the compressor shaft seal? No traces down the front of the compressor under the shaft / behind the pulley?

When you are looking for dye - are you wearing the Magic Glasses?

I total neglected the xj and left it in pieces (in the garage) and went to the Bantam festival. At the festival I scored a great deal on a pre-runner winch bumper from Logans metal (thanks to Jamie). I'm sure my jeep will forgive me.

Washed it and put a new air filter in. I feel a little bad. It's way past due but I just hadn't thought about it. Caked in mud and dust. I could actually tell a difference power wise putting the new filter in.

 

 

Drove it in the deluge to get to work. As soon as I got there, it stopped raining. Go, go, gadget amphibious Jeep!

 

Washable air filter ftw

EDIT
I wonder if these are decent filters or just garbage, but the Green branded air filters are supposed to be really good and at $37 its not terribly expensive.

Was out for a ride with a friend and a couple of miles from the house and both front calipers were sticking badly. I don't understand how that happened all at once, but a trip to Oreily's and a few more bucks for new calipers and pads and we are rolling again. Just emptying every pocket...

 

So I am putzing around with the Jeep. Not going to do anything. Just scope a couple things out. Got a little sheet metal from buddy and was eyeballing cutting a small plate to cover the hole where the third eye is before the spoiler goes back on to hopefully fix my cargo bay leak. Figure I will put this under the metal instead of some gasket material because I am thinking about going all around the spoiler with it too.

I can pick that up for under $16 and from what I understand it never dries. I can roll it under the spoiler. It is black. The Jeep is black. Hoping this will do what I want it to do. Thinking if the spoiler ever has to come off again it would not be a problem. So after that I figured I would at least see if my passenger side door check bolts would loosen easy. Not doing that today either. No problem. Cracked loose. So I am looking at it and noticing that there is one nylon washer in the door check. There were none on the driver's side. Turns out there is 2 on each door check. 2 doors are missing them completely. Passenger front had the one and driver's rear had both. So of course I have to correct this. Trip to the hardware store. Factory one is on the left and new one on the right. Put two in the driver's door. Didn't see any reason for it to be notched so I just put them in. I am done. Back to work tomorrow. Yippie.

Before I forget. What do you guys think of this:

 

Waxed the turd. Actually looks halfway decent.

 

purchased an a/c compressor and line adapters, starting to gather parts to put a/c in this thing
