Just got home from messing around off road. I must say I was impressed with the 4x4 on the Jeep. I was driving through soft sand and eventually kept slowing down until I got stuck. I didn't keep flooring to avoid making a big hole and just came to a stop. I simply put it in 4HI and back to drive and slowly gave it gas and I slowly crawled out of there. No hiccups and I am stock with street tires. Overall loving this XJ the more and more I drive it. Will post some pictures when I get to the office tomorrow.

Just replaced the spark plugs and Spark wires today. I wouldn't be surprised if I was still on the original wires (plugs looked relatively new), two of the wires ripped taking them off, and the one from the coil to the distributor cap was not plugged in all the way making an arc that had eaten through part of the wire connector. I literally just started the Jeep let it idle for a little and revved it and already noticed it's more responsive than before. I cannot wait to actually drive it and see how it feels.
Another thing fixed with this thing, next is the brakes (squealing like crazy but pads look brand new)
