Awww <3
I'll talk to Chris next time I see him. I need someone who knows what they're doing to make sure I don't screw up, and so it can get done in a timely manner lol

 

Cool, let me know.

 

Im in the same boat all the time. I drive to far to work to have the xj down more than my days off

 

Well I'm on the side of the highway

 

What happened, upper ball joint went?

 

Assuming so. Getting it towed to my buddy's shop soon, and 96xjclassic is gonna let me borrow his XJ.

 

That's good, least you'll be able to travel around

 

Driver side D30 shaft tried to attack my wheel. Thinking broken clip, but it's being towed to my friend's shop to get torn apart and looked over. Probably gonna replace ball joints anyway since I have a 2k mile roadtrip coming up at the end of May.

Current list before end of May (with some best-guess problems):
Axle shaft clip
Front brakes because my driver side setup was just decimated
Ball joints
Timing
Harmonic Balancer
Motor Mounts / Trans mount
Fix temp and oil pressure gauges
Install soundbar
Replace #1 freeze plug...for the third time
Head gasket and OFA
Spectre cowl intake
D44 build completion & install
Rear shocks
Interior lights
Make my bench stop squeaking because it drives me nuts

I also need to replace the master cylinder and all the front brake hardware in the Camaro (again) because I replaced my bad caliper with a new bad caliper.

Yeah... Time for work. Thanks again to 96xjclassic for hooking me up with his ride. Nothing better than driving a lifted XJ to work while your MJ is in the shop.

 

No prob. Lol, you're the only person I know who's has broken axle parts while onroading.

 

Its the mjs way of telling you its not ready.

 

This reeeaaaallllllyyyyy makes me nervous about the condition of my front steering and suspension:

Popping when I turn, popping when I go over certain bumps, and when it's cold out there's more play in the steering wheel than is already there... GO JEEP!

 

My disconnects won't fall apart at least

 

I've had a grinding sound and a really annoying squeak for about a week. Took a look, and we couldn't see anything wrong, so I figured I'd redo my brakes soon.

Then yesterday I was on the highway on the way to my friend's shop, and my truck was pulling to the left. It hit the rumble strip, and I turned the wheel a bit to the right to get off of it. As soon as I got off the strip, the Jeep bucked and almost sent me into the right lane. When I straightened it out again, it pulled hard back to the left.

There was no question that something was wrong, so I pulled over. Brakes were hardly doing anything at that point, so I downshifted and rolled to a stop.

 

Ain't that the truth. Actually, the coil springs, shocks, and discos on Classic's XJ all came from mine. I bought the leaf springs for mine, too, but he took 'em off my hands because we weren't sure of the height.

 

So when are you going to bob the bed?
