I used my XJ as my Music festival support vehicle for me.................. Carried gear out to Joshua Tree, then I attempted to sleep in it.

I brought a COSTCO sized bottle of Tanqueray, a bag of limes, Tonic, and a little food (home made salsa, chips, beef jerky).
It actually works OK if it is just me in the back. I built little extensions that fill in the area behind the seats & console, then I have a 4" piece of foam that goes down.
The problem is the music (if you wanna call it that?) was going all night long.

Began getting the thermostat hosing bolts hosed down with PB Blaster for the big thermostat/radiator/radiator hose replacement, system flush and heater core backflush this weekend.

I took mine loose at 291k miles. Chrysler thermostat. I am doubting this the original motor. Use reciprocating action. Bump the ratchet with your other hand versus just torquing the hell out of it.
As for me today, had a drip off of the rear diff cover. Picked up that gasket and fill plug today. Looks like I'll be doing that this weekend.

Rear diff cover, gasket, plug, and fresh oil are up for an upcoming weekend. That was only replaced once, and they didn't take the cover off.
