Does she know about this the look on her face will be priceless. My gf doesn't trust our future child in my jeep with the way I drive it.

A good example, I drove onto a divider to go around a car turning left.

Put a blower motor resistor in the 95' finally!! So happy, I have more settings now. Before my only options were "Off" and "Super-Stun". Gonna put the new idler pulley on it Tuesday and fix the trans line leak, then both it and the 90' are getting oil changes.

Put front lift on, one bolt broke off on sway bar mounts so that was a chore to repair. put in inner fender liner from my parts jeep as the original had broken and fallen out.

Got the front end aligned. It still has a slight pull to the right. The mechanic said he maxed out the caster adjuster and set the toe, recommended adjustable lower control arms. (only have a 2" lift )

Went home and changed out the oil/filter just in time for the rain to move in.

i fixed the passenger power window today. I did the cotter pin trick so we will see how well it holds up. I guess I can buy a lot of $0.10 cotter pins for what a new regulator system would be.

Got to try out the Hitch out today... moving into our new house. Holy crap there's a lot of noise transfer on theses things thanks to the unibody! Anyway, stuffed the inside with boxes, loaded up my 4x8 trailer to the brim (jeep didn't even know it was back there) and threw a mess load of stuff on the roof rack. I'm gonna love hauling stuff with this thing!

See how good xj owners are. You would never see a rice burner so that. Oh wait they can barely drive in the snow sometimes
