Pretty much accomplishes the same thing. Just in a different location. Wrap the fuel rail and insulate the injectors and you're good.

In the ongoing adventure of "what did the previous owner fail to tighten" on my xj, i found the axle side of my front track bar loose. It appears that when they removed the factory track bar the bolt broke and they left the tab nut (whatever its called) in the little cubby. I assume this interfered with them tightening the track bar. On the plus side this took out all of the steering slop out. Stay tuned for my next adventure lol

No keep it inside! Dont want anyone else grabbing it before I get there. If traffic isnt bad, I will be there in 5 days.

I finally got all the air out of the cooling system. Runs right at 200° and doesn't budge. Nice to see the needle on the left side of 210° for once. Decided to take it out last night to make sure it stays that way and it did. Then on our way back, this happened. This is why I stay out of mud! Had to have a tow truck yank him out.
