There's always a toolbox with enough tools to take apart a xj in my xj lol. Only thing that is missing from my tool kit is a car lift lol

 

Cool, it looks good. What vendor over there?

 

Not from a vendor, bought it off a member.

 

Started turning the red bed into the trailer. Son doing the grinding and my wife doing some welding. Her first time, non-practice.

 

Bought a rear tube bumper, but can't use it, anyone looking for one?

 

pictures?

 

I'll grab some pictures later today.

 

I'm interested as well. Why can't u use it? Liquid iron sliders really limit the rear bumpers that are use able.

 

Any tips or anything else i should do or check while doing the head gasket job?

 

Only thing I forget is the rear bolt on the drivers side. Make sure you put it in the head, and tape it up. There's not enough room with the firewall to install the bolt after the heads on.... Unless ofcourse you're like me and beat the crap outbid the pinch seam and firewall so it can.

 

And stall the front driver side bolt, Coolant passage.



P.s. Thanks Paul!

 

What bolt are u speaking off?

 

I'm speaking of rear drivers side head bolt. Jake is speaking of head bolt #11. That one goes into water passage.

 

I'll be moving to Wv and you can't have tube bumpers unless they are from the factory

 

Lol. I guess I ll find out what u guys are talking about when I take it off lol
