I got my 2500 tail lights installed, definitely modernized the rear of my xj. Still gotta finish it with a few things, like adding another bulb socket for the extra tail lights.

Oh yeah, and bumped up my L.E.D. count with some bulbs for the tail lights.

Always nice when the xj pays for its own gas...

Enjoyed pulling a stuck minivan out of my parents driveway. FWD and it was buried to engine cradle. My XJ didn't hardly grunt pulling it loose, and the whole family remarked how impressively quick I pulled it out...then griped at my wife for poor choices on parking...drove thru the field behind the house to make myself feel better. Happy New Year!

Installed my JCR super sliders that I got for Christmas. I will put the flairs back on after I coat them with bed liner and fix the brackets that broke when I took them of.

Went wheeling with Mudrunner and the club up in Florence Az. Drove the 3 hours there,which is the longest trip I have ever taken in my XJ,wheeled my XJ harder than I ever have(Martinez Cabin),and drove it home.From home,then all day wheeling,and then to get fuel,I only burned a half a tank. I was Very suprised with my XJs performance.

The $10 bill was dated 1999 and folded up into quarters.........wonder if it came from a factory worker back in 99 or 2000 when my XJ was built.


Drove the XJ for the first time with the 784's and noticed a little more pep.....of course we are having sustained 30 mph winds with gusts up to 50mph, not the best driving weather for a comparison test.

Today I adjusted my steering stops with the spectacular help of Newkindofclown. No more rubbing on the lca's @ full lock.
Then we replaced the third brake light bulbs. Then we made my rear wiper sprayer not leak every time I parked on a hill, by replacing the little blue check valve.
So nothing huge, but a few things that have been bugging me for a while.
