Hey if anyone is having problems with water leaks let me know I worked in an auto glass shop for 8 yrs so I can help you out Jeeps are notorious for windshield leaks especially if the windshield has been replaced.

Everytime It rains I have a lake on my passenger side floor. Is that were it is coming from the windshield?

installed ironmanfab 4x4 motor mounts my wife gave me for christmas early. Wow talk about improvement. Also picked up some black daylighters on clearance at o'reilly auto parts for 45 bucks and replaced my harbor freight joke lights. If anyone needs some offroad lights kc's and hella's are on clearance at o-reillys for cheap. Get Some!

After riding with me on the tree run the wife (cherokeechick81) decided to start driving the xj again. Other then pistons wild it has been sitting about a year.

Today she went to put tags on it,she made it to the gas station and it wouldn't start again so I had to leave work to rescue her.

Turned out it was just badly corroded battery terminals,I got it going for her and we went to deq where it failed miserably. I did a tune up right before we parked it and it has new injectors so I bought a new o2 sensor and we got a temp tag for it. Plan is for me to drive it and run some gas through it then try again.

Forget locktite??

I saw the old locktite still on what was left of the bolts, so I wouldn't say that. I didn't do the gears anyways, ACRO did.

Apparently the ring gear on 8.8s lose their bolts sometimes.
Rich- The threads were partially eff'ed but worked well enough to throw some red-loctite on all the bolts and reinstall 4 new bolts where I lost them. So everything is back together and works, but it's only a matter of time till my 8.8 blows up.

Now it looks like I need a whole new rear differential/gears. Sweet. :bawl:
On the bright side...this gives me a chance to buy a rear locker. I just wish it didn't cost more than I have.

Ben, I'd throw some paint on the frame rail stiffeners before fully installing the crossmemeber you've got there.

I used rustoleum primer and bedliner on my frame stiffeners, works great.

Mine leaks there too. I know it's because I didn't shim the doors when I swapped them with the ones set up to be removable tho.. :laugh:

Ben, to be honest, don't waste the money having it done by a pro. It's alot of extra weight u don't need also.
