What was done to YOUR rig(XJ/MJ) today MECHANICALY????

[XJ Eric]

Re: What was done to YOUR rig today MECHANICALY????

Did this a while back and never posted it so....

Replaced
Clockspring
replaced temp sensor
installed a HUGE 130 AMP alternator. Serious bracket modification on that one
Washed the jeep, polished up the rims a little (they were horrible)
Picked up a new rear axle with 4.56s installed (now I need to find a carrier or a front axle with 4.56s installed already.)

The last remaining items on the XJ:
get rid of the cancer problem, replace leaking freeze plug, find out why CB doesn't work, replace destroyed fiberglass antenna, cut and fold corners, and then start saving for a locker.

I bought some Ginormous zip-ties and put my Rubicon Express discos up for the season. The aluminum attachments they provided were garbage.

Oh forgot to mention. I'm in Houston, so i was pretty hot, and I was cursing progressively louder with each subsequent "find something wrong, disassemble" and cut or burn.
