Tire was leaking pretty bad, would lose 15psi every few days. Fought it apart and found mud caked along the inside bead of the rim. Most likely from when I popped the bead from my first Cliffs trip.

Pretty nice...but you have the flag positioned wrong
When the flag is displayed in a manner other than by being flown from a staff, it should be displayed flat, whether indoors or out. When displayed either horizontally or vertically against a wall, the union should be uppermost and to the flag's own right, that is, to the observer's left. When displayed in a window it should be displayed in the same way, that is with the union or blue field to the left of the observer in the street. When festoons, rosettes or drapings are desired, bunting of blue, white and red should be used, but never the flag.

Diff issues...
So for the past 2 weeks or so I've been getting a funny nose from the back end, horrible soumd when backing up. I originally thought it was my driveshaft U-joint, but I took it to get checked out and they think it's a tooth or bearing in my differential. Whenever I shift from reverse to drive or vice versa there's a loud clunk and the driveshaft turns about 90°.
Time to order some lockers and get those 4.56s in!

Decided on some Lokka lockers both front and rear. I originally wanted an Eaton or ARB selectable for the front, but they're just too expensive for me and I want these new gears in as soon as I can. I have some people to help and may do it at home to save as I've never done gears before. I can also get a deal to send them to get done, but that means taking out axles that've never been removed before in the rust belt. Yikes. We'll see.
Bumper's almost done too.
Here's a meet and greet picture.
And this cool Procharged XJ

About to pull the trigger on the Lokka lockers, as you know I already have the gears and master installation kits and front carrier for the diffs. Need to decide on to try and tackle this myself or get the money and send it out.
Other issues are popping up too: like my brand new battery terminal acting up, the popping from my steering, and my un-alignable front end (seriously I've gotten 2 and the last 2k miles and my inside of my front tires are still getting destroyed)

^^^Agreed!
Saw your post on the "Lift & Tire Questions" thread, but forgot to respond. If you feel confident the alignment is good, I would think wheel hubs or ball joints.

It drives straight for the most part (warped rotor makes it pull slightly to the right). I got new U/L ball joints and U-joints only about 4k miles ago with 3 wheeling trips, always re greased them afterwards and alignment afterwards and still, my outside tread is 17/32 and inside is 11/32.

No I haven't yet, they're probably the factory ones. I went too hard on it on the trails sometimes so I could've done some damage there.
