I think I would change the old engine oil, if you havent already. I never, I said never leave whatever engine oil there is in a New Jeep I get. This is the first thing I do. Might be 5w-20 or Hydraulic fluid for all you know, or might be Mobil 1 10w-30 Extended Performance, You just Dont Know, Do You?

NEW XJ
That was a GREAT deal trading the gun for the Jeep. My 2000 XJ is a daily driver and need to keep it somewhat stock; but have my eyes open for an
older XJ down the road.
Keep us posted on your projects -- you were lucky getting that gas tank out without frozen bolts and/or broken ones. I want to put a gas tank skidplate on the 2000; but not ready for a 2 day job and broken bolts ....
There should be a easier way to put a skidplate on without taking the d____ gas tank out ????

NICE JOB !!!
Don't show it the guy with the rifle -- he might want to trade you back ..... LOOKS FANTASTIC !!

PS: I ran into problems with my new Cooper tires when the Discount Tire guys told me 245/75/16 would fit without rubbing. When I went in to pick
the Cherokee up, I mentioned that it did not look like it would work.
Now I have to wait 10 days for the next size down to come from Ohio !
I only got about 5 miles from home where there are dips in the freeway (on the way to Home Depot) and the rears rubbed the back. Last night I picked up my 240 lb son and his 250 lb friend and I barely got home ......
Crap -- was going to go camping this weekend !

EXP. VEHICLE cont
It has got to be the 16 inch wheels and I am finding out that 16 inch tires are hard to come by also !!!
This is a "Freedom" 2000 XJ and either the dealer or factory went up a size and added a few goodies to the base model. If I would have known both of these issues; I would have bought some 15" wheels and had an easier time finding tires. I have been dealing with discount now for 3 weeks with the original order. Both sets had to come from Ohio via Pony Express ..... For some reason my Cherokee also has rear mudflaps which I am going to take off before the tire exchange. The issue with that is the guys power up their impact wrench and I can not get them off with a star wrench or my medium size breaker bar. Going by Harbor Freight tonight and picking up a 1/2 inch electric impact wrench ...
Have a GREAT weekend . If I get the tires sorted out, I am going to Anza-Borrego Desert Sunday and play !!! thanks, Randy

Exp rig update
Alright so I ended up selling this rig and I got lucky and ran into my old jeep XJ that already had a ton of work done to her so I'm picking up the expeditionary rig portion back up on that thread I'll be doing the same floor plan I did with the XJ and won't have as much work but still plenty of work though
