Those are mighty tasty, how the hell did you screw it up.

I didnt understand the 'drop it in' was literal... and poured the cream and whiskey into the guiness... :tear:

But I was too drunk to notice the difference after 1 kamakazie, 1 tequilla shooter, 2 black superman's and 1 mind eraser...

 

[Ramsey]

You poured it in huh, silly newbie.

my steering gear has got to be shot... ...well i have a horrible leak and have just been 'topping her off' all summer.
but even when topped off these days, it whines like a mother.
so i guess its either my pump or the gear.
i want to upgrade 'dakota-style.'
that is my goal for before winterfest.
i havent picked anything up yet.
might as well get new lines for the pump, etc, eh?
any suggestions?
words of wisdom.
whatever?

Thanks to Jim, #1 on my list is closer to completion:

hey Jim......want to do another? Not because I can't myself....just because I'm lazy :looney:

:wave:

 

[IllianaXJ]

Heh, I doubt it. Of course, if you have successfully removed your transmission crossmember without bolt breakage, then yours would be 10x easier than mine.

I fully expected to let my XJ sit outside Jim's shop until I came back to finish her up, but next thing I know he PMed me progress pics. What a guy!

 

[IntrepidXJ]

Heh, I doubt it. Of course, if you have successfully removed your transmission crossmember without bolt breakage, then yours would be 10x easier than mine.

yep, my crossmember has already been removed

 

[IllianaXJ]

Then you are already 1 day ahead.

$%#&! Indiana road salt

The next one I do I'll have to charge more than the kit cost.:looney: JIM.

 

[ILLXJ]

Need to do:
Install new tie rod- it's on the way
Install rear disc brakes
Install new spring kit in the No-Slip

Want to do:
Get a winch & new tires

JIM.

I have to add install header & new intake. Also remove new tires from the list, I have a feeling the TrXus are gonna last alot longer than I thought. JIM.

 

[87manche]

well, the wife's XJ is on it's way.

I've got most of the body work done, so I can start on the rocker replacements soon.
It runs right, got the 4wd actuator fixed.
gotta do maintenance crap like u-joints.
Gotta budget boost this thing with new leaf packs.
install hale's bumper in the parking lot.

 

[HaleYes]

I'd like to get a box similar to what the MWC Brewmister has in the cargo area. I still need to find a Co2 regulator. Need to get my powersteering issues lined out too.

Hale

I need to install the 99+ intake I got from Byron.

Still haven't got the power steering figured out yet. I'm about to give up on it.........fuggin' thing.:bawl: I'd like to have my rock lights and new front bumper on too.

Any night wheeling go down at winterfest? Or is it just too damn cold.

 

[HaleYes]

Any night wheeling go down at winterfest?

Anything is possible.

However, our night run at Flat Nasty didn't turn out so well.

I've had these lights for a while now, I'd just like to get them out of my way.
