If you could do it all over again how would you do it?
Probably not the right place for this question but, I'm trying to prioritize, the way I want to build my xj, and am interested to see what opinions any of the experienced guys on the thread here would have.
Does anyone have a particular order you would go in for starting your build?
i.e. brakes> body> interior> engine> exhaust> drive train> axles > tires> electrical.
For example one of my co-workers has said keep it running as long as you can before doing anything that will make it be a giant paperweight in your garage.
Thoughts?

The reality is better brakes and steering should be done before or with everything else

I changed my oil for the first time since I owned my xj. I put in vqlvoline high mileage 10W-30 and my oil pressure is about 10 psi higher on startup, is that a problem?

It had a pretty crappy compact "mile guard" filter before from when the previous owner took it to jiffy lube, I replaced it with a fairly beefy wix filter so that probably explains it.

What's the difference between these two cruise control servos? They look slightly Different. I went to the JY to get one for my 1993 jeep and found both of these on pre 97 XJs so I not sure which one I need. Are they the same? Or different?
