Well, after sending the little WARN Pullz-All into overload safety shutdown about half a dozen times, I can tell you that my XJ's brakes are not TOTALLY seized. The trailer my friend borrowed was kind of a **** show, though. Strap hooks needed a little ad-hoc engineering. But after 2.5 hours of dicking around and an hour long drive, I brought him home! So glad to have my Heep back. Though the rust is damn near traumatizing.

I am not sure about salad's part of eastern Ontario, he is about 2 hours north west of me, but here they would rather lay down a few tons of salt over putting the plow a little closer to the road. Or so it seems.

This was yesterday but worth venting.
Went ti finalize the trim on the shackle relocators which went fine. I had just enough Dremel cutoff wheels. When putting them back on I realized the shackle was binding so I loosened it a bit. Well I knew my leaf bushing was needing replacement but didnt know how bad. So decided with a few hours of daylight Id knock that out too. Learned a lot when I did the other side last year when it took me many many hours to get the old bushing sleeve out. This time since I knew how to tackle it, cut the sleeve at the eye to spring and use cold chisels to fold it in and it comes right out. That took 15 mins and I was feeling confident.
Then out of nowhere Murphy pulls up and decides to not let the new bushing fit back in. Last time I was able to bfh it in. Not this time. Now its dark everything is closed and I had to leave her on jack stands until I can go pickup a press or make one. Wife had to drive me to work and now I gotta borrow a company truck and deal with the hassle of bringing it back. Never again.

You replaced the cat right? Taboo to talk about illegal mods on CF.
Also replaced the terrible unworthy FRAM oil filter the PO used with a glorious Purolator gold filter. Noticed it added about 5-10 psi to the oil pressure.
