My jeep has been idling a bit weird lately kinda jumpy. I decided to give the Sea Foam a try and what a difference, my jeep is running like new.
So after i replaced my wiper blades this morning, i noticed the driver side blade was not touching the windshield in one corner, so i went to NAPA and bought a new wiper arm and installed it, much better!!!! Oh and i bought a new valve cover gasket, so hopefully that seals up a leak, and also a Throttle body gasket, i plan on taking the TB off to really clean it up! Hopefully in the next few days, i'll get them fenders trimmed as well.

Today I droped the oil pan and found out why my engine died;


From what I can tell it's whats left of the #4 piston. The valves for the #4 cylinder was rusty like there was water in there, Also the spark plug at the number 4 spot was bent/smashed.

well, not today but yesterday I changed the coolant, cleaned up some messy wiring, replaced the gas struts on the liftgate and gave the interior a quick once over (just bought the truck). i found $2 worth of loose change under the back seats.

My radiator had a leak so I removed it and took it in to get patched. Also bought new upper and lower hoses, thermostat, and antifreeze for the reinstall. Then went to the junk yard to see if they got any new jeeps.
Parked it elsewhere so I could soak the driveway with degreaser and hit it with the pressure washer... and then I think I'll degrease and pressure-wash the engine so I can start trying to locate all the oil leaks!

I put a new rear wipe blade on my '93 XJ. Since I first got the Jeep, the rear wipe would mess up every time I turned it on. The p.o. had a 15" blade on it... it calls for a 13". It's fixed now and no more going up half way and stopping. It wipes all the way as it should and now when it rains, I can see behind me
No, I don't lick fish.
