On Saturday I transferred the compressor and recharged the AC. This job was all new for me but everything seems to be 100% now. That night we took the leather off of the rear bench and put it on the new Jeep bench. My youngest installed all seats. Sunday he and I took apart all of the rear trim to install the backup camera. My wife worked on repairing the rear liftgate trim piece above the license plate. The tabs were so brittle two broke off while running the camera wires.
Four nights left to finish everything before my oldest flies back to the Florida on Friday and the list keeps growing... Bench base cracked in accident. Bench back bent in accident. Reupholstered bench. Seat installation. First time for everything I guess! Camera installation. First round of adhesive to repair trim piece.
It's odd. I've never seen it before, but maybe I missed it.
There should be a maintenance interval for flushing brake fluid.
I know some other car makers have it as a recommended or requires service.
Whether it does any good or not is unknown but I have gotten in the habit of sucking the brake fluid
out of the master cylinder every April.
For the $3 or so it costs me screw it.

I'm too lazy for that. Brake fluid is hydrophonic(or however you spell it, it soaks up the moisture thus diluting it and thus causing issue) so it is needed to replace but yearly is overkill. I say every 3-5 years or whatever the owner manuals suggests.
Confirmed my XJ has a hole in the radiator. I could hear air hissing out near the battery as I was filling it up. New Radiator is in the living room, just need to find time to swap it out.
Third Brake Light Lens Restore - Probably one of the most trivial things ever..: Start Sanding Final sand before compound After three coats of lens protectant
Sprayed down the death wobble bolt with PB Blaster, will be doing that every day after work until the weekend when I replace the bushing with a Duralast urethane version this weekend.

Not at all.
I always figured you could do something like that to clean it up but I just went for a LED.
Which betting if I look at now, cause it has been on for awhile, has weathered and needs cleaning.
LOL

BTW, the head on my Death Wobble Bolt takes a 15mm socket, not 18, 17, or any other. I tried US Customary and nothing I have fits, but I don't have any 3/5" sockets, so maybe I need more tools.
Now it appears that this is an oddball bolt size too.
I haven't posted in a while. I installed a Blue Ox dingy/flat tow kit on the XJ. The bar was a tad expensive but the kit included the incorrect sandwich washer plates. Amazon actually refunded me for the entire $480 purchase! I just used a cutoff wheel to modify the plates to fit properly. I wired up up properly to connect to standard 7-wire plug. I used specially made diodes that interface with the rear brake lamps. Very easy install. There is a decent install video on eTrailers web site.
