paid $4.37/gal for 14.6 gal = $63.80. (by the way, i went to the cheapest gas station, everyone else is $4.47-$4.5x for regular unleaded! here in Humboldt county NOR-CAL, we have the highest prices in the state w/ the highest prices in the nation.
drove her back home & gave her an oil change. castrol gtx high-mileage 10w-30 & fram filter. she took about 6 qts (actually 5 1/2 qts & i'm gonna add some lucas oil treatment tomorrow.) also greased any zerk fittings i could find. with some fresh blood in her, i ran around town trying to take care of other xj-related stuff, & didn't accomplish anything 'cuz this small town likes to roll up sidewalks early, especially sundays.

Just replaced a majorly clogged air filter on the xj Laredo I just bought. Oil and dirt all over, surprised it ran like it did.

Heard that, mine came with a k&n intake kit, I've never seen one of these so black... I wish i had a pic of the driveway after I was done cleaning it...

Anyway... saw this in the McDonald's parking lot and had to take a pic...

Could you hook me up with some pics of the brackets I've been trying to decide if I want to mount them on what's already their or do some cutting and dropping the floor a little if at all possible. How's the head clearance?

Beat part of the day My GF said the GC was the most comfortable car out of all the cars there.

Edt: oh cool pics uploaded. There two more course that showed traction up an Icey hill and flexing of the suspension
They call that an obstacle course?!? Weak sauce! You can do that in a geo tracker or a cavie even haha
