Pulled the inspection plate to fetch the bolt I dropped while replacing the CPS lastnight in a parking lot. Fished out the bolt and completed CPS installation. Restored everything to normal, started up (yippee) and drove home. Wow, what a noticeable difference there is between aftermarket and OEM CPS's. Mileage is back up to ~16mpg (was down as low as 11mpg with aftermarket sensor).
ive come to terms with many aftermarkets parts are just a waste of money. had an aftermarket waterpump's bearing went in about year and a half. oem last a hell of a lot longer

I put an air freshener in my Jeep. Smells good now, kinda been living in it until today when we finally got our electric and water back after a week of it being turned off. This is what happens when you live with people who say they paid the bills but then find out they lied for 7 months!! Grrrr!

Bought some Goo Gone and removed some of the leftover molding adhesive.
The new tires are AWESOME!!
With the new sensa-tracs front and back, alignment, oil change, fuel additive and new tires my XJ feels like new.
Next:
Black rims
Bed liner on running boards
2" lift
New exhaust system

Went to get milkshakes last night, and due to the lack if cupholders in my jeep, I had to use the drink carrier from steak n shake... everything was fine until I was about to take them out... yeah, milkshake all over the passenger seat... after I finished cleaning it up, I ordered cupholders off of quadratech.com

So far today I've changed the oil in the 99 and 93, put in a new upper shock bushing & put the air box back in the 89 and am taking a break now before I get out there and put the new 4 inch coils and CA drop brackets on it... Going to be raining all day tomorrow and I've got the sunroof off it to clear the drain channels, so I have to finish that today too....
