Well let's see.. The XJ got 2 100 watt six inch kc dayligters to mount on the detour a pillar brackets, which came with a can of duplicolor to paint them. Also She (XJ, female goes by Jess, don't tell my girlfriend) got Navigator 55 watt driving lights, a new set of don't tread on me plates that say ZAV XJ with the snake in the middle over a yellow background. A coupon in the form of a IOU for a premium la tint when the weather warms up above freezing. The girlfriend got me a cobra 40 channel. Also there are some green LEDs for the cluster and auto tranny selector. And there was a Haynes repair Manuel (which I am extremely excited about, and have begun reading) and electronic tire pressure gauge in the stocking.

I get what your saying, but I don't want it so I can be creative, I wanted it so I could do it right. For example I'll be going to the jy to pull a zj track bar (easy but it suits my example) now I'm sure I would have got it done without someone telling me how, but I'm the type of person where if I can have instructions for anything layed out for me before I do it I'm happy, whether it's working on the xj, traveling with the family, or anything else. Also like I have a really slow slow drip out the back of my transmission, I now know that it's probably that o ring and I have step by step instructions how to fix it, exciting for me!

If you're doing dizzy cap & rotor, don't rely on the Hayne's diagram for the right firing order. It's completely wrong. It also doesn't have the torque specs or sequence for the intake/exhaust manifolds. The two times I attempted to use mine ended up being useless, and I haven't touched it since. Don't rely on the Hayne's when you're doing important jobs...research that O-ring a little before trusting Hayne with your jeep!

Got my girl a lot...
3.5" OME lift (coils, springs, shocks)
JKS quick disco's
JKS adj. trackbar
Misc extra goodies to go with the lift kit from DPG
"New" wheels chrome that I just painted black. 15x8 with 3.75" backspace. ($20 each on craigslist!)
Brand new set of 5 BFG AT's. 31x10.5x15
ZJ steering upgrade
New steering stabilizer (cheapo off of amazon)
used CD played from my buddy ($25)
1 pair 5.25 speakers from amazon.
1 pair 6.5 speakers from amazon.
Meguier's complete car care kit so I can take care of the new paint I had done.
Yeah the next couple of weeks are going to be busy ... Need to install all of that, plus change my oil pressure sensor, and the orings on the oil filter adapter. I found a power steering hose leaking as well... and maybe some window tinting.

Dropped in a new engine in my 89'. Finishing up the connections to make the engine run. Welded up some rock sliders and made a rear bumper.

Got my girl a ruff stuff diff cover. New fluid for the rear. Some hatch struts and more fog lights. Hopefully tires and a locker coming soon. Oh and I'm folding the rear so she can stretch her legs a bit more.
