I can't think of any POSITIVE effects of the tracbar being loose, other than ease of removal!

Lol, Not Sure If The Holes Could Be Wallowed Out Or Not, I'll Probably Completely Remove It And Clean It Up While I'm At It

I changed out my distributor cap, rotor, belt, air filter, and got some little trees to make my jeep smell good.

Put my front driveshaft back in so it is now a real Jeep again.
Topped off the oil too. Guess its burning oil now too, just like my Volkswagen.

Nothing, just drove it :clap: and worked on the Saturn, pulled the AC compressor and exhaust manifold to do a carbon build up enema on the head, Exh-manifold and second air injection....EGR system to get rid of codes. New AC compressor is next. Inspection due this month.
My 87 dry bearing noise is gone, the one at 3/4 WOT between 10 and 20 mph in 2nd gear I mentioned last month.
Seems the transfer case just wanted a lube job, it was low on fluid. I must have under filled it when I swapped AW4s in 2011, by not having it level, or it has a small leak.

Finally got around to installing those in-cab winch controls like I've been planning for years. :yelclap:
As with previous electrical projects, I replaced the LEDs in the Carling Contura switches with turquoise ones to match the stock XJ interior illumination color, and used the laser-etched rockers from OTRATTW.
But this time, I replaced the ON-state LEDs with super-bright red ones to really emphasize when the winch is "ON".
And just to be different, I added some LEDs to the grill to illuminate the winch at night. I don't recall the last time I actually had to use the winch in the dark but should the need arise, now I'm ready.
