Looks good.... now you just have to tint the back window and it'll stand out.

[bigjim350]

My windows were tinted very dark, I removed it. You see I wheel mine, and I like to be able to see out the back.

Calling for snow tomorrow but hopefully I can get the wiring finished in the morning before it hits.
The lights are Hella Optilux 1900:

Could not justify spending the money on KC's again like my front two.

I like this rack alot more than I ever did my Surco. Especially the price. I will probably order some JCROFFROAD gutter mounts at some point. For now it is on there pretty good with the factory crossbars.

Steve where do you get cheapo's like that ? I want to try to put bigger tires to see how it feel and work, but don't want to spend a lot.... did you get $60 for each tire ?

I fixed my woobly column. Following this particular tutorial (http://www.cherokeeforum.com/f51/steering-colum-tear-down-repairs-39494/) to the letter, it was easy and instructive.
Only 2 concerns.... I could find only 2 bolts for the tilt, the rest were too hidden and my confidence was not that high) and 2, I must have put the thing back wrong since the wheel is not locking anymore.....

[prerunner1982]

Got a new track bar waiting to be installed.... also used my XJ to haul a large swing set home for the kiddos (both of their birthdays are this week). The people I got the swing set from were surprised I could get the whole swing set in/on my Jeep. some in side, larger pieces tied on the room.

[easttxhunter]

Ripped out the carpet. Getting it ready for herculine. But I found a couple holes that I have to fix first. Also put the rear hatch shocks on. No more prop stick.

[rugidone]

Replaced my drivers taillight, finally got my hands on some gutter rail trim, installed that.

I scored all of this plus a good exhaust manifold, and a brand new 02 sensor in box, gutter mount roof rack crossbars, and some other odd parts for free, well almost free, had to walk about 300-400 feet in snow up to our knees to the jeep in buddies field and carry everything back out.

quick question to the masses: I've heard, in know starting off bad :D , That stainless steel brake lines will fray, deteriorate...etc, over time and will need to be replaced sooner than regular rubber hoses...

any truth to that?

[alwaysxj]

got my roof rack delivered again today, the first one was defective and they let me keep it... so I sold it broke for more then I payed for it.... also sold 5 BFG old style mud terrains for $125 when I payed $60 for them last week. then I ordered 4 new Gaurd dogs from treadwright. they are on back order so I should have them with in 4-6 weeks... but they were only $516.72 for all 4 shipped.

Ive been running them as long as youve known me... they ar still rubber inside its just that the steel braid offers more strength to the lesser quality rubber inside... they are kinda like an innertube for a tire the rubber is thin and the tire is the shield

I did the same thing to mine a while back. Try backing off just a bit on the belt tension, the grinding goes away. Belts to tight. That Idler pulley if it is the fixed one under the A/C unit is very expensive. Its the hole bracket for the A/C unit to. Mine is a 95. No noise since from the idler pulley.

Drove it to Red Robin.

Got flagged down by a couple of kids that got their 2001 XJ stuck and pulled them out. They drove back into the SAME spot, got stuck again, so I pulled them out the second time.


Did you give them an xjtalk card so they could find us?

I put on my d30 diff cover, started installing my oba(need to hard wire, install oiler and run air lines), changed my fuel filter, and gave the jeep a beating.

[alwaysxj]

checked the brakes to see if they need changing for the up coming state inspection.
they are good for now.
also oiled up a old high lift and tested it out on the jeep, worked great.

[XJ Rat]

Installed my OEM fog lights.

[JG-Man]

Those are good tires -- those were the first set (all 4 matching) of tires I put on my XJ after I got it. Of course then I decided I had to go bigger. Sometimes I wish I still had the Wranglers.




The mule got some new shoes today.

I did the same thing to mine a while back. Try backing off just a bit on the belt tension, the grinding goes away. Belts to tight. That Idler pulley if it is the fixed one under the A/C unit is very expensive. Its the hole bracket for the A/C unit to. Mine is a 95. No noise since from the idler pulley.

I forgot to mention it was roaring before I made the belt adjustment,my bad man!I replaced the idler pulley and the noise went away!:thumbsup:

Float test is a military term.... basically test its "flotation ability" in THIS case meaning I might submerge it in water....



So I installed it yesterday only to find out that one of the channels was not working.... it hs a warranty but I think im gonna just toss in another 30 bucks and op for the kenwood model... better reputation and way less bling factor, you wont see a pic of said amp cause your totally gonna flame me!
its coming out today! ha!

Changed my exhaust manifold, downpipe/02 and center section of pipe to get rid of my exhaust leaks.

Snapped one of the studs off in the head for the manifold, spent most of the afternoon convincing it to come out.

Went over all my vacuum lines looking for leaks, cleaned throttle bottle/sensors, cleaned all the connections up under the hood wired up the relay for my OBA.

Sadly, my misfire and lack of power is still there. But while cleaning the connections, I noticed if you move the crank sensor wire, my engine tries to die.

Wayne, its not hard to do at all, just a pita, gotta remove everything above it to get it out, could probably get it from the bottom, but even then, your unbolting the intake anyway so its just as easy to pull from above.

Thats the second one I put on.

Today, I changed my crank sensor hoping it would solve my issues. No dice, its operating the same way, even moving the wire on that one changes the idle, starting to think it might be on computer side of that wire.

[PEI-XJ]

did a oil change and started to do a bit more on the bumper temp plate will do more tomorrow when its in the +4 out

Changed lubricants and re zip tied up harness. Zip tying the harness as shown in pics can save you hundreds of dollars. At the points where the harness rubs on the fuel rail at firewall and where harness rest on the front of the fuel rail. If gone un check the sharp edges of the fuel rail will wear through the insulation oof wires and cause a short.http://i1186.photobucket.com/albums/z363/brian_mcdonald1/S4020305.jpg

BAD fram filter.... I have heard HORROR stories about Frams... matter of fact Orielly auto parts had a special today on the Fram filter for 3.99 I still opted for the more expensive filter...

ANYHOW today I replaced driver side brake pads and wheel bearing and ... uhhh oh yeah rotor... LOL all used parts though cause Im not dumping cash into the setup since I only need it for another month or so...
on the OTHER hand on the stupid Durango Matt, Jim, Rene and myself were able to get the motor removed ... it was a sad story when we pulled the oil pan
