Today I did the valve cover gask. On both my 96 and my new 99. Then pulled off the cracked manifold on my 99. I ozzymicrobe washed everything so there's not one spec of grease on Anything anymore. Then welded the crack in the mani. then did brake pads, rotors and shoes and
Lines. I got hungry, left it 5 feet in the air where I'll throw er back together tomrow. And the exciting part..... Bought my new lift! iro 5.5" critical path long arm. Got it 270$ off and free shipping from xtremeterrain.com everyone should check them out great service and prices.

Yes I know for $6000 I could rebuild and maybe even build past what I've done so far but this was my 1st Jeep and I've done everything by myself ( no shops) and she is just hard to say good bye 2

Well do what your gut says. ask yourself some questions. is it in good condition. what do you forsee yourself having to fix in the near future(any rust, high mileage, old parts?) and if you can honestly say that your all set except for obvious periodic minor fixings and mods that will happen with any jeep, keep it, since building a new one will just be a time setback. but ultimately, no1 on this internet knows your jeep like you, so we can only help but to me sounds like your conected and if it is worth 6k(must be nice!) then keep it and love it forever

I think you just didn't pay shipping that's the only place you saved money sorry to break the bubble you pay that much on the kit from IRO's website

Did nothing but drive to work and drill my brain wishing I had enough to do windshield tune up and tires all at once but must decide the timeline and I think windshield is next since tires an wait till fall time.

Drive to work. Noticed my swaybar link somehow came unhooked and went up behind the mount between that and the coil. Should have left it off to begin with

Mounted a shovel on the right side of my rack and mounted a Jerry can on the left.

I also repainted my rear bumper (which looks 100% better), and bought some diamond plate mud flaps that I'll install tomorrow to keep all the rocks from flinging the rear quarter and starting rust.

ericfx1984

installed my front shocks, had to press out my old bar pins and press them into the shocks... also installed some bayonet eliminators

installed new longer brake lines front and rear... also made new brake line mounts as the new brake lines did not have them

early 90s Chevy 1500 front brake lines and early 90s Dodge Dakota rear brake line

Went wheeling, found out Moody Hill is not really doable in a stock XJ without a spotter, got hung up on the same rocky spot three times before I overheated and decided to wuss out. Found out after overheating that the heat soak misfire issue does happen on a 96. Went and did some easier trails instead.
I smashed my tcase crossmember pretty badly and something seems/sounds/feels broken. Going to look closely at everything underneath tomorrow to find out what I messed up.
Was a good day.
