Not today but yesterday...On the '01 Sport changed the oil with Rotella T-5 and a K&N filter. Replaced the door check bracket on the driver's door. Got rid of that annoying door popping sound. Re-torqued the connections on the pre-cat I replaced a couple of weeks ago.
On the '01 Limited, The windows would only operate from the driver's control. I fixed that by re-soldering the connections on the door master control panel.

Amazing how smooth they close when everything is as it is supposed to be huh. I did my driver's awhile back, it was pretty bad, replacing everything. I thought my passenger was fine I until I realized how they are supposed to work. So the OCD in me took over and did that side too. I had the same problem with the master control too. I just bit the bullet and bought a new one.

You have been an inspiration with all the work that you've done to your XJ over the last few months.
I think the first thing I said after closing the door with the new door check bracket was "Wow!". I now have to change the bracket on the other two XJs.
I fixed the master control in our '00 Limited last year, so I felt comfortable doing the repair. After cleaning the control panel and re-solding the connection by the child lock, I put it back in the door. Almost had the door completely put back together, then decided to test it. Found out the windows worked from each door, but a couple of windows would only go down from the driver's control. Disassembled the door, a re-soldered the other points. That did the trick.

Thank you. I probably replaced my master control about 3 years ago. I was thinking about trying the re-soldering but said screw it. How hard was it to do the precat? I got the dreaded P0432 code, '00 XJ, and had it replaced last year. Timing worked out well cause I also needed a new muffler and tailpipe. I said screw it and replaced the whole exhaust. Even bought new bolts and spring clips for the front cat. I deliver auto parts and deal with a lot of garages and the local Jeep Dealership. I sawzall'ed off the whole exhaust up to the front cat, POR 15 everything that was now exposed, and dropped it off to have the rest done. The garage charged me $75. Seemed more then fair to me especially since I was not sure how hard it would be to get that out with the Jeep on the ground trying to do it lying on my back.

Anyone heard from Cleenrob? Got some LS questions for him...

did t stat, rad hoses and cooling system/heater core flush. replaced the putco headlight harness with an lmc version. difficult to see but the wires going into the plugs were corroded and causing the lights to be dim and/or not function at all.

Replace the passenger side CV axle with a new one this morning. I am hoping it stops the leak. I replaced the seals 2 weeks ago and it made no difference. there is definitely a groove worn on the old axle where the seal rides. fingers crossed

I had asked you about replacing your pre-cat in a thread that was started about 2 months ago. I was getting the P0432 code every other week. I ordered the pre-cat and down pipe from Rockauto. I went with the Eastern Catalytic model. Bought the bolts and clips from the local dealership, too.
Removing the precat from the exhaust manifold was the most challenging. I soaked the bolts with penatrating oil for a couple of days prior to starting the removal process. I was able to remove only one nut from the bolt. I don't know if I didn't put enough on or what, but I could not break the rust bond between the nuts and the bolts. The nuts had bumps on the sides where they were welded to some type of spring clip. This prevented me from getting a good grip with a wrench. There was not enough room for a socket. I ended up cutting the other 3. That is where the fun began. I don't have a lot of tools. I started this mechanic stuff way too late in life. Ended up using a combination of a electric dremel with cutting disks and hacksaw blades. Most of the cuts I was doing blindly. I used mirrors to check my progress. I was cautious about cutting the manifold and the various tubes and wires around that side of the engine. In the middle of doing the cutting, I swore up a storm and almost through in the towel. Worked on it off and on over a couple of days. Once I cut the first bolt, then I felt like I was making progress again and I would go at it with renewed vigor.
The only other thing that threw me a curve ball was when I went to screw the new bolts into the spring clips on the manifold from underneath the jeep. The Eastern pre-cats have these fins on them that did not allow me to access the bolts. I ended up using swivel head ratchet wrenches to tighten those bolts.
I was not a happy camper when I was cutting the bolts, but it is all good now that the pre-cats are on. Gas mileage is slightly better now, maybe a mile per gallon.

NGK ZFR5N spark plugs.
EP27 electronic flasher
Moog poly swaybar mount bushings
replaced cracked wheel hub cover

Fixed more rattles in the inside of the Jeep today (pass side door panel and the panel under the steering column). Still waiting for my trans mount....

Sorry I guess I had forgotten. One of the reasons I did not do the job myself is for all reasons you described. At the time I did not own an air compressor or air tools, do now though, and figured somethings are better left to those more competent then me. I went with Walker parts and used stainless steel hardware.

New (old) carpet! Floor was rino lined for way to hot haha

New tranny mount!

Waiting for XJwonders
