Ok guys! So now that I've received my settlement check, I've got a list of problems that need to be repaired and I wanted everyone's opinion.
The List:
Radiator, Water Pump and Thermostat (Obviously this will be first since it is undriveable at this moment)
Rear Main Oil Seal Leak (About a quart every 2k miles)
Front Differential Leak (Medium sized leak, steady amount coming out everyday)
Oil Pan Bolt Leak (The gasket is WORN OUT terribly)
Transfer Case Leak (It's overfilled according to my mechanic so that's why it's coming out but he said it still shouldn't be leaking)
O2 Sensors (Both Upstream and Downstream are well beyond their usefulness)
Fuel Injectors (All 6 need to be replaced since they are stock parts still)
Camshaft Position Sensor (CE Light came on the day the radiator blew and it was PO341 or Cam Pos Sensor)
New A/T Tires (My current ones are getting pretty old and therefore are starting to get bald)
Transmission Coolant Lines (My mechanic says they're fine but it was supposed to be a temporary fix that has still held on quite well so I'd like to get them repaired as well so it will be a more permanent measure)
That's the list for things that need to be fixed. I just wanted to know what everyone's thoughts were on what should be repaired first.
Now here's the list for things I want to put in my XJ:
New Paint Job (Same color just needs to be repainted since the paint is coming off in certain places, small places, and it's faded)
New Speakers and Subwoofer/Amp (The current speakers are stock 20 y/o speakers that sound terrible but still get the job done)
Upholstery (The roofing upholstery is coming down off the roof not to mention a raccoon stuck his hand through my 2 inch rolled down window and tore into the fabric of it)
Possibly a 3" lift kit (I want to raise my XJ so I can do the more nasty wheeling trails)
So, I ask the forums to help me decide what to spend my settlement check on. Thanks in advance guys!
