The PO Of our house was also a Jeep owner. I tried hard but he wouldn't include it in the deal

 

Ha, in more Jeep related news, I parked it under a parking cover for the first time in years. Should help keep it a little nicer in the long run. We plan to build a full 2 or 3 car parking cover, or knock the back house down and build a siiiicccck 3 car garage. That's years away though.

 

Just got done replacing the Crankshaft Position Sensor, what a rough 45 minutes of arm bending and stressing about dropping bolts into the bell housing.

 

Does anyone else's modded XJ rattle like a can full of change?

 

I thought thats what they were supposed to do? Its the sound of emptying your pockets...

 

Mine mostly squeaks and pops more than rattle.

 

My feelings exactly when I did mine about 2 months ago. LOL.

 

I always think you guys are complaining too much about changing a CPS, but then I remember how much harder it is in an XJ. I can swap the CPS on my YJ in under 5 minutes, and my buddy can do his with a 2.5L in under 2

 

I must've done my last one with the engine out, because I honestly can't remember it being hard...

*Frantically opens up RockAuto*

 

Mine was easy on the Comanche. I do think the ba10 trans is skinnier or something though. It's also 2wd so there isn't any of that crap up their either.

 

So I finally got tired of all you guys taking such great pictures. While mine look like crap. All I have to take pictures with is an itouch. Was never really sure if the lousy pictures was me or the itouch. Well I think it was the itouch. $35 off of OfferUp. Hardly used and with everything it came with new including a 2GB SD Card.

Hopefully my last crappy picture with the itouch first and the second one with the new camera.

 

I think the last time I swapped one out it took me about a half an hour. Had enough practice by that point though.

 

Got my tires (285/75r16) in yesterday, now to mount them up this Friday and add the rest of my suspension for 6-6.5" lift.

 

Just bought a 99 that i was told bad engine, bad trans, won't move, no title. Longer interesting story but ended up getting it for $50! Paid a shop $50 to get it home since I don't have a trailer, his had a winch. Got it home, threw a battery in it and holy moly it started right up. And yard drove. Pretty happy for a $100 investment so far. Pic shows the worst side. Has a plow mount on it ill be taking off.

 

Can't beat that!
