Installed some brand new head light bulbs. Sylvania silverstar ultras bulbs are really nice lights vary bright and I can finally see while driving even with only the low beams on.

I ran it into a TJ.
Actually, we were both at fault. NO damage, and I mean none to my XJ, but ripped off his plastic side step.....that'll teach him to drive a Wrangler!

Got a new rear bumper to replace my busted one. Took the brackets and bumper caps off, which sucked because I had to cut every single bolt off. Hit it with a wire wheel. getting ready to put herculiner on it

Took the vacuum ball out of my smashed up front bumper (major pain to get out) to find it was broken (explains the hissing when I shut off the engine since my crash)
Epoxy'd it, and ziptied it to an AC line under the hood.

Not to sound arrogant, but you should read-up on motor oil ratings and what they mean. 10w-40 is fine as long as you let the engine warm up before beating the snot out of it. It ratings are good down to 10 degrees. If we all followed exactly what it says in our manuals, we would not have lifts, bigger tires, etc, etc......

Rotated the tires on my 99 and looked for an exhaust leak to find that my down pipe from my header is almost completely crushed in right before the o2 sensor, always fun finding beauty marks.
