What did I do to my XJ today? (Post your XJ TECH happenings)

Re: What did I do to my XJ today? (Post your XJ happenings)

replaced the water pump on my 92. last replaced it on october 3rd,2008. i hope this one last longer.

the most sucking part was,my shop is full,i can`t get anything else in it. i had to do this on the carport in the wind and blowing sleet/snow with manual tools,our power is out, and to boot,i`m recovering from my first bout ever with pneumonia.

we`ve got a 5500 watt genny for the house but it won`t run the shop compressor even if i could get my jeep in it. boo hoo,wa,wa. life is still good.

Power washed the underside since we have had lots of ice and snow here(lots for OK) lately. I then changed the oil and greased everything.

Haha, just got my Autopals today. I realized i bought the crystal clear lens e-code housings instead of the regular e-code. Oh well, if they suck too bad I'll sell them and get the regular e-codes. I also have a HD harness ready to go on for the lights. I still need to get my Tail light housings installed and swap the interior bulbs and instrument cluster bulbs to LED and I also need to get my Rails, hitch, and all my skids on before WF and trim my rear bumper caps! Damn, I'm gonna be busy!

I'm a stonemason so there's always a 5 gal bucket in my trunk full of hammers, chisels, bars, etc... I was tired of it always falling over and dumping my tools out so I drilled a hole in the bucket and used the spare tire mount and screwed the bucket to that with the factory wingnut. (my spare tire is on the roof rack) no more spilled tools!! pics in the fab section on cherokeeforum.com

/\ great, cheap mod! good stuff! /\

I drilled and tapped my costco compressor for a standard 1/4 fitting on superbowl sunday. Now it'll take any standard fitting.

yay! OBA here I come.

I also installed a non ghetto looking black flexible antenna. Matches my black/silver color scheme much better. :)
