Got to 187,000 miles on my way home from work yesterday. Filled up with gas today and drove to school. Pretty uneventful

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.
Yeah I've had that heat misfire before on my 96 lol. Before I put a new radiator in and replaced all my hoses, my jeep would get this random misfire after about 15 minutes of driving. It would go away after a couple of miles though.

Found out that the problem was due to both overheating and having a leaky heater hose that would drip coolant all over my distributor haha.

Added another leaf to my saggy springs, put a spare in my basket, new plugs, and took it into my buddy's shop for a once over before my 700 mile trip from Detroit to Minneapolis tomorrow.

Put a new 195 degree thermostat in the girlfriend's xj hoping to cool it down. Been running steady around 230. No such luck. Time to start putting coins back for radiator, water pump,etc. Dangit.

Did a PWI (Post-Wheeling Inspection) and figured out the source of most of my front end problems (swaybar squeaking/grinding on left side of skid, tire rubbing on left LCA, maybe more) My axle is off center by about 1/2 inch. No idea how since its not lifted, but it looks like the track bar mount has been broken before (crappy weld marks on it and a big dent)
Never once had a death wobble though...

Thanks to gaboy1911 we finished welding up my quarter panels, then filled in what couldnt be welded together with some awesome grey compound. Next up maybe rear axle, or bed lining..
