YKYDAXJW the 4.0L just doesnt want to die no matter how many times you overheat or loss oil. Peaceful retirement time for it.

Inverse Torx size E12.

Replace them with 3/8"-16. Hex head capscrews will work neatly to replace those E-Torx atrocities.

we did it in school !!!!! Our teacher was pretty cool about letting us sit around and wrench most of the day, I remember one time a friend of mine left to "test" a wrangler they were working on.. well the ****ing wheel fell off pulling up at a stoplight. (idiocy) an hour an a half later he shows up with a bag of tacos, hands em to Mr. sandoval and he just laughed an never asked

YKYDAXJW you are following somebody who is texting on their phone and not doing the speed limit so you get close to them and wait for them to finally check their mirror, than nervously check it four more times because they are intimidated by your Xj. Who wouldn't be intimidated by my front end? Lol

When you go to a reenactment and start looking at an old WW2 VW... and you snap pictures of the front end first.


And then you start thinking about how it would look if givin an axle in front, lift, and 33's.

YKYDAXJ when you have a female passenger and see a bump ahead and speed up to 40 so it causes a death wobble and scares the crap out of the passenger
