I finally removed my nasty factory coil isolators and installed BDS 1 3/4 spacers. Also removed all the ABS junk while I was down there. Figured out where i'm going to put my 4 Pontiac/frankenstein hood vents next weekend.

Had a fresh oil change, drove her 16 hours from NYC to northern Michigan. Installed a new radiator fan.. wheeled the ***** outta her for a week, pulled out a few trees, towed a bunch of stuff around. Now on to Chicago for 2 days before making the trek back to NYC. She's a great jeep. Running like a beast.

I tore my tire up on the trails. Cypress stumps are very unforgiving.

More what I did with my Jeep. than did to it.
I hauled a Catalina 22 home yesterday and today the XJ hauled it to the car wash to get a good cleaning.

The Mighty 4.0 pulls the 3300lb load better than the F150 5.0.

Man I never post in here anymore. Well the jeep is going to start chaning a lot in the next few months. I'm going to putting in a whole new lift. 5.5" long arm from Iron Rock Offroad along with shackle relocation boxes from RC and frame stiffeners. I'm also in the process of work with a buddy of mine who owns a fab company on building a set of bolt on tube fenders and last but not least we are working on dropping a 5.7 hemi in her. My buddy has one sitting in his garage that he said I can have.
