That would bring more $$$ than the waffle with ben franklin's face on it. (There wasn't one? Exactly. Then it'd really bring more.)

(Probly been said before, but...)
YKYDAXJW you see a glimpse of an XJ on the highway and push it to 75, despite all the rattles, clunks, and death wobble, just to see what the other guy (or gal) is drivin'.

================================================

YKYDAXJW your basic XJ tool kit consists of duck tape, WD40, a small fire extinguisher, and two twenty-four packs of mountain dew. (If it move's and it shouldn't, use the duck tape. If it doesn't move and it should, use the WD40. If you can't move and you need to, crack open another 'Dew. If the last words to come out of your mouth went something like this: "SH**!! THE MOTHER******* JEEP IS ON FIRE!!!!! GOD ******* DANGIT!!!!" ...Use the fire extinguisher.)

Upgrades to tool kit:
Stack of NAPA parts books- Supposedly makes it easier to order parts, so you have the NAPA part number when you walk in the door- In reality makes it 10 times harder because nothing seems to be where you would put it if you designed the books.

Cheap hand rags- used to try to clean dirt, grease, oil, and other crud off your hands before you look through the parts book. In all reality, it only gets 30% of it off, and the rest promptly transfers to the pages anyway.

battery powered AM/FM radio toolbox- keeps you from going insane when doing quiet, tedious tasks.. Like trying to hunt down the one part you need in the heap of NAPA parts books with grease, oil, and crud stained pages.

Haynes Service Manual- You have this so that, when you finally find and have the NAPA parts you need, you have some kind of a clue how the heck it goes back together, because it took so long to have the parts delivered to the local NAPA (Thanks, backorder) that you've forgotten how it came apart by now.

All this sounds about right... only thing I would change is to replace the napa parts books w/ the NAPA app on your phone... makes it a lot easier.

I don't have a smart phone.. lol.. It was either a smart phone or an XJ and a low-tech full-keyboard phone. Besides, when you get new parts books, you toss the old books and used rags in the back, drive out to the country with your buds, and have a huge bonfire.

YKYDAXJW you get home from a trip in the RAM across the state line, and the first thing you do when you see your new XJ in the driveway is hug it and lay on the hood. The second thing you do- (after takin' grandpas shotgun inside and lockin' it up) Is drive it into town to "look at my church that caught fire" A.K.A., checking for death wobble. Answer: yes- slightly.
