Bled the brakes and got the front end aligned after swapping the axles last week(bent front axle, replaced with both axles from an auto. A manual with the 3.55's is geared for 33's.). Came home and pulled the valve cover to replace the gasket. I think the problem was that all but four of the bolts holding it on came off just by turning the socket without the ratchet: in other words, WAY TOO LOOSE!
Ps. People on here say 31's don't fit stock xj's. They do. They just rub at full lock and they might rub at full flex, I know they rub if you hit a large bump with one front tire and the front swaybar unattached.

Was buttoning up the rear. Installin my shocks and realized on my BPEs the bolt that goes through the bushing wouldnt fit because the bolts on holding the BPEs to the unibody were too long.
And in an attempt to remedy this one of the bolts got pushed up out of the hole. And now I cant reach it. FML
Everything else is done. Other shock is good.
Everything except my tracbar bolt. Still havent gotten the determination to remove the draglink that is in the way.
