I freakin love it..getting 25-27 in the city, but I drive hard in the stupid traffic we have, so that takes some of the eco out of ecoboost. Went to Charleston last weekend and got right at 30mpg down and back. That was running 75-80 with the air on too.
I'll have had it a month this Monday and already up to 2000 miles on it. Had 192 when I took delivery.

Installed new rear shocks on the Mother-In-Laws 1998 XJ. All the upper bolts came out just fine. I was worried since they looked like the original shocks. I think I need to go buy a lottery ticket.

That would be a Diesel if you cannot read it.... Love it. 26 - 28 around town. IDK Highway yet. Haven't been on a real "road trip" in it yet. It is beat up and needs some cosmetic work but she runs like a top with 193K on the odo!

Spent most of Saturday at work, then a birthday party then spent the afternoon cutting grass.
Woke up at 7 Sunday to finish cutting grass, helped my brother modify his exhaust and add some boom boom to his music.
Sunday afternoon I pulled the Curt Hitch off the red Jeep and bolted it on the Green Jeep. I had forgot just how much of a PITA getting to the 8 bolts to remove the bumper really is...

well, im jealous. look up the youtube videos for 'black smoke racing' to see why....
I priced a set of tires for my xj today... Boy are they expensive! The tires I want will be worth more than twice what I paid for the jeep, but if i'm going to call myself 'building it' I guess that's part of it. I still haven't installed my 8.25" yet, but I will before I go wheelin on the meatier tires.

Lokka locker showed up today
Dude report how that thing behaves once you get it installed, I'm looking into them for after I swap axles so I can go bigger than 31's with my lead foot and not worry about blowing my rear end to bits

Lucky man... 98s aren't bad even if they break though, the nuts are just spot welded in a few places so a punch and a few whacks with a BFH solves the problem neatly. Broke two of mine (only two! in the rust belt! with no heat!) and it still only took about 10 minutes per shock to change them out.
My 96 was a whole day ordeal because I had no idea what I was doing and bimmerjeeped it pretty badly. Burnt up a couple drill bits, the nuts were held in with a big fat 1/2" MIG bead down each side instead of a few spot welds so hammering on them did absolutely nothing.

First time I lifted mine, not knowing much about what I was doing nor having researched here...at all...I zipped mine off with an impact gun. All of them came right off no problem. Later on once I realized how easy they broke (after installing multiple other lifts on other XJ's), I thought to myself..."Damn I got lucky!"
Next time I lifted mine they all broke...

I wonder if 93 was the same way? I broke 2 in my 93. They popped out pretty easy.
I broke 3 on the new Jeep. I was already prepared with the bolts to fix the issue.

I dunno. Maybe I got unlucky.
I don't buy rear shocks without hitting home depot for 4x 5/16 1.25" grade 8 bolts and nuts/washers now. I plan for the worst.

Did a day trip to Illinois yesterday. Flight left Charlotte at 6am and landed at 12:30 this morning. Made for one hell of a day, but at least I had a nice view on the jobsite:
Evergreen Lake...from about 100ft in the air.

So wait... you left Charlotte at 6am, flew for 18.5 hours, and you landed in Illinois? That would be a flight plan fail. You guys have a layover in Tokyo?
