Put a new OEM trac bar on my 92 Laredo. Adjusted the steering wheel since it was thrown off a little, then I took it for a drive to set up my hunting blind for tomorrow morning.

Flushed the diff. fluid in the Dana 30 and cleaned out the housing, ring gear, spiders ect. ect. and filled it with some Syntech Valvoline. May be picking up a set of new rims off of craigslist tomorrow. Hopefully I get them, mine are falling apart.

Surprised I didnt catch the jeep on fire.
Was driving down the road and kept smelling fuel, Finally I pulled over and popped the hood, I had a river of fuel running out of my fuel rail.
Turned around and got to my friends house as quick as I could, it was 1/4 mi down the road. Shut it off and popped the hood, soaked up the gas with a napkin.
Ended up being a fuel injector oring on the rail side. I moved the injector around and it stopped.
Not leaking anymore, but Im keeping an eye on it.

After I got back on the road and went the way I was going before I turned around, I could see a line of drips going down the road following where I had been.

Yeah my old spacer was doomed.. Unfortunately so was the first bolt I attempted to take out, as it snapped. Along with the return line that was stripped and seized in the box. I'm just praying all goes well tomorrow and I'm driving around a wonderfully steering XJ
