Installed my IRO crossmember so I can out my long arms on soon

 

Been wet-sanding my hood, filling in scratches, then more wet-sanding to smooth it all out so that I can repaint it. Ordering rear shocks and a new front driver side parking light next Friday...can't wait!

 

Engine temp ran up to ~250 almost overheated, quick rolled down windows and blasted the heat...crisis averted! Also watched as my poor XJ got pummeled by hail about the size of a half dollar

 

finally got my 3" RC lift in the mail, coils in front and aal in rear. although on the website it just said 3", and on the instructions it says 3" front and 2" rear...also hopefully getting new wheels soon, removing factory flares, getting stereo wired up, maybe spacers and shackles?

 

Got my SYE and CV driveshaft in. No more vibes!! And the pinion and shaft lined up perfectly always a bonus not to have to buy shims.

Fill plug on my t-case is fused to the case. Didn't want to heat it for fear of warping the aluminium. So I had to fill the case from the speedo gear. Put a quart and a half and hope it was enough.

Steering box is making terriable noises. So I got a Durango box for an upgrade. Due to an online error and being charged too much I got it for $130 w/ lifetime warranty.

I am going to install the steering box and a new transmission mount this weekend. Been busy

 

Did a nice oil change before after work. Nothing like Lil mobil high mileage 10w-30 to make her feel good as new

 

I got some mounted there and no glare. You have to remove the cowl cover to secure bolts. My jeep is black though.

 

Did some interior work.

1. new head liner
2. overhead console swap in
3.fire extinguisher mounted( need opinions on placement guys)
4. some accent painting

still got some lose ends to tie up.

what do you think.

 

are those red l.e.d. map lights

 

Put it on jack stands so not to get flat spots in the tires since Im deployed for 6 months........but have a TailBone on the way to be followed by a BackBone and a 8K winch waiting for me when I return. And 2 bottles of Single Barrel Jack, 12 pak of Coke and a case of Sam Adams Octoberfest

 

Sorry to hear man, hope it isn't all jacked now

 

Do you have any pics?

 

I've heard about the tailbone and backbone, what is that?

Nice lookin setup you got there. I'm gonna do my headliner with black suede pretty soon. I'm also mounting my fire extinguisher somewhere, I was thinking about putting it in the cargo area up by one of the rear windows on a trim panel. I wouldn't mount the fire extinguisher right on the A pillar just because a passenger entering the Jeep could hit the fire extinguisher on accident. Also, if you were to get in a crash, the airbag would probably hit the fire extinguisher.

 

no, just painted with Testors hot rod red transparent paint. They still light up good and give it a different look.

And tactically speaking red light is much harder to see at night then white. Need to be prepared for the Zombie Apocalypse. Everything helps.
