Don't forget to get some plate steel for brackets or buy some brackets. you don't want to use factory bumper mounts. Mine are about a foot long and tie into the steering box and frame.
What did you do to your XJ today

alright thanks for the tip man
Well got the rear cargo area sanded and shot with some black primer paint to prep it for the bed liner, got the whole from floor section lined with carpet padding for insulation getting it ready for the new carpet I'm going to be putting in it and also got the last of the tinted windows put in. Nothing real big but stuff that needs to get done though.

I'm about to tear into my Durango box, anybody in the Kirkland area(will travel) have a drill press I can use later this weekend. I bought a tap and drill bit to set the box up for hydro assist. Figure I might as well do it while I have the box apart.

realized that my rear drums are captured... just like my fronts, so I guess that i'll be ordering front and back, brakes, calipers/ wheel cylinders, seals and bearings. I also need to get a new housing for one of my warn hubs.
Oh and my front lines came in the mail today, I am really impressed with the quality of the braided lines that I got from inlinetube.com. So now I need to do some plumbing and delete the load sensing proportioning valve. I also picked up a power bleeder and a fluid extractor cheap at work from a tech that was leaving and needed money.

I would be impressed too, their site looks like it was designed by a 12 year old 15 years ago.

I just got done replacing my broken rear drive shaft. For the inquiring minds that wanted to know how to make it so the tcase does not puke out soo much fluid after you break it
the hanger rode along the front lip of the drive shaft and was held up to buy the ebrake cable.
The rear of the shaft was held up by some stainless steel wire held in place by the rear part of the ebrake cables. 01whitexj and the guy in the TJ with us that day were macgyvers for sure!!! Thanks again!!!!!
I also taught myself how to dismount and mount a tire on a rim. This is not the easiest process and will leave it up to the machine from now on, but it was something I wanted to learn just in case
finally some new to me rubber

Got my seats installed. Woot Woot !
Corbeau Baja JP Seats. So far I love them. Pretty firm, but everyone says they will soften up after a bit of use. They sit just a pinch higher than stock, but nothing major.
Need to add another tube for the shoulder harness. Anyone have 5" of DOM lying around

I looked in to it. It's 80-90 buck for the steel, or it's 109 cut. Milled. And boxed with stickers...
I would rather just buy it...
Installed the new rear drive line. Fits perfect, hopefully it runs just as smooth.
Re-installed the belly pan. Drilled some of the holes to go through the frame. Seemed to make it a lot more solid.
Blew out 3lbs of dust from my air filter.
Cleaned out the throttle body.
Went through my spare parts and fluids. Did a quick inventory, and made sure everything was ready to go.
I'd say the Jeep is ready for it's next big adventure.

Do you plan to hang a pair of Truck Nuts off the stinger?
