It was my credit card bill not the old lady's lol. Every charge on it was for jeep stuff lol. Locker and new axles and rear break kit. We don't use the same credit cards, I have mine and she has hers well she has like 5 to my one lol. I pay my bills she pays hers and the other stuff is split like house payment, electric, DTV, interwebs and so on pretty good system I think that way no one gets *****ed out for buying "unnecessary stuff"

 

Well, new bumper STILL hasnt shipped.


But i got one of my stickers, so thats something.

 

12 hockey pucks (anyone in need?) and a set of Oregon Gator lawnmower blades.

 

I opted to go with these over hockey pucks. Drilled for a 1/2" bolt. Much less expensive than the JKS set. However, I'm also using Timbren JFC01 bumpstops instead of the hard urethane ones.

Good set up!

I changed to longer shocks a few months after I did a 2" lift. Now I need about a 1" increase in my bump stops. Figured with hockey pucks I won't have to remove the coils.

 

I got a Dana 30 Factory Maintenance Manual, a 1999 Transmission Diagnostics Procedures Manual, and finally got my distributor gasket in !!! The next two weeks should be pretty interesting too !!!

 

In the past week or so ! 3.73 carrier, complete with standard cut gears. A set of 4.10 reverse cut R&P from a HP Dana 30. Pr of 5-760x front axle u-joints. Omix heater core and a fin comb. Front Centric coated rotors. Front and rear Akebono ceramic disc brake pads. Rear XJ calipers. Autopal Euro-lights and headlight harness upgrade. Struts and brackets for the hood. Magnaflow cat . Both NGK o2 sensors. Dorman exhaust manifold bolt set. 9/16 x 3/8 torque wrench adapter for the new exhaust manifold bolts. Craftsman 3/8 in/lb torque wrench. A socket style oil filter wrench. The ZJ tie rod upgrade , long one and the other end with the adjusting sleeve. A u-joint service tool set. A set of EZREDs stubby torx sockets for the OFA. Uhhhh, that's all I can remember at the moment, I think there's a couple things I forgot to mention, plus I got two packages in the garage I haven't opened yet ! Got several more things on the way ! Who doesn't love the big brown truck !!!

 

Deep Creep

 

I'm new to the party, lol...but I'm trying my best to get my hands dirty.

I found my XJ much cheaper than I planned. I thought I'd find a total s***show for $1500, or a mildly crappy driver for 2500...I got a mildly crappy driver for 1500...I put the rest into parts and tools already.

I might have to update my list later, but in the mail so far...

Misc fluids from amazon
both o2 sensors from rock auto
headliner material and glue from amazon
$20 cheapo FM/Bluetooth only radio while I save up for an android unit walmart.com
4 speakers for stock replacement from amazon
new rear bumper from ebay
new rocker panels inner+outer from c2c fabrication

Still on the way - rear disc conversion kit from ebay. no rotors included.

I guess I'm in it for the long haul...

A very nice 4awg battery cables upgrade, heavy duty nut strips and bored 62mm throttle body from Mean Lemons, aka XJWONDERS. Also a set of OEM valve cover torque spacer grommets from 2lowrange.

Done and done, lol.
