Ok, this is actually correct. Just not the surprise I had in store. Yes I do have a new alternator. I am running an Ac Delco AD-244 alternator now.

Ok. So I was home and unloaded by 5pm. That was nice. Definitely a change from the past. It's so nice to pack lightly and unload so quickly. I was even able to do a check of the jeep and look for any issues. So here the list starts.

Front clip is broken
Front fenders are smashed
Rockers are smashed
Rear spider gears blew up (Just like last year)
Rear XJ dana 44 tubes are torn on both sides at the leaf perches
Track bar frame side mount is loose again
Steering box is more toasted then it was before
Drag link bolt in pitman arm is loose
Drag link bolt on knuckle is loose
Control arm bushings are still worn out
My paint is scratched

All in all I had a great time wheeling on Saturday. I think the Jeep did ok. Ran around the obstacle course. Drove into a ****ing 4 foot deep hole because I'm an idiot. Drank coord light because I'm an idiot. Ran lower Jungle. Second time around I broke the Spider-Man gears. I believe I broke them because I failed to bump stop properly after lowering my Jeep in August.

The good thing is I learned a few things at this years Toys for Tots run.

1. Jes and Letterman don't care about BC's Jeep as much as he thinks.
2. Bryan takes cash for personal favors. Like buying the toys you didn't bring.
3. Evidently I broke a shaft. At least that's what was yelled into my ear and then repeated by everyone in Jungle canyon.
4. Gordon has a nice beard. If you touch it, Stephanie will get angry.
5. Jonnie Walker is the king of drunk bartering (kind of knew this one already)
6. Cencalxj has an awesome Dana 35 that refuses to give up
7. sneakyjap96 will haggle you on the price of parts you're selling without you being there
8. I can't see big holes right in front of me
9. Jes thought BigKInTheXj was Big Kinthe XJ. He often wondered who Kinthe was and how big he really was.

I have a complete front clip if you want it.

What era? If it's 97 + I'll take it, but I have plans for a new clip already of the same style. I appreciate the offer
