The "Kraut" wagon

[87manche]

clay bars and wax. lots of wax

then we went to the garden place to do wagon things.

I also fixed DS mode today.

It's a dumb design that virtually guarantees failure.

and I fixed the washer bottle filler leak, because "low washer" was irritating the hell out of me.

Looking clean! I clay barred mine a few weeks ago, smooth as a baby ass. What wax do you use?

meguiar's ultimate.

5 coats on the headlamps cleared them up enough that I'm not going to dick with them.

Been a while since I posted on this. Haven't really done a lot to it. Think I put maybe 4k miles on it in a year. Did a big tune up and replaced the valve cover gaskets, spark plugs and some other things. After a proper tune thing is running like a pissed off freight train. Actually considering selling it though. I really miss having a XJ, love the MJ but only good for me and the dogs. So any one interested?!

Cleaned it today and drove up deer creek canyon. Love canyon blasting in this thing!

Not interested in the BMW but how about selling the MJ?

 

[smokeyyank]

Ehhh Ive thought about it but I just frickin love that thing.

My son wants one, let me know if you decide to sell it.

Will do, more than likely I'll hold on to it, but never say never. Never thought i would sell my old K5 but then a wedding had to happen.....

I have been down that road before, traded my 2005 Dodge Power Wagon for JK. Biggest car mistake I have ever made :flamemad: Both of our XJ's are getting close to done so looking for a MJ project next.

If you decide you want to sell that X5, shoot me a PM with details. I may be interested.

 

[smokeyyank]

Sent you a PM.

 

[Fred]

Me, too.

 

[smokeyyank]

PM sent

Beast is sold! While I enjoyed it I really want to get back into a XJ.

Adding an XJ? or selling the MJ too?

Adding an XJ, it will become the family cruiser for camping. Will slowly be searching for a 98 or 99. Would love to find one that needed and engine so I can put the rebuilt 4.0 I have in it instead of just taking up space. MJ is staying. Hoping next spring I can start working on the MJ and have something to at least poke around trails with.
