They pulled it out once test drove it then pulled it back in and it was another hour. Now my steering wheel is off to the left.... one of my huge pet peeves.

I looked under my Jeep today and found a clump of road salt literally twice the size of my fist tucked up between my gas tank and hitch reciever, so I gave my XJ a good washing . Found that the urethane sealant did not seal my windshield leaks...again, So I'm just going to get my windshield replaced because it's chipped anyway

Not to it but for it, went to the junkyard and pulled more goodies than ever before. Found a few new arrivals completely in tact, out of those a sound bar from a 93 pioneer so they're the 5.25 speakers rather than 6x9 only 5 bucks with two pioneer speakers in it. Another 2 pioneer speakers out of the same jeep for free. A whole mess of inspection required stuff (bumper caps non blacked out marker lights etc.). Durango steering box and a rustys re enforced tie rod from a fellow xj lover who lost his jeep to the yard, poor guy (rear end was completely obliterated found a Mack truck emblem imprinted on it ouch). Total damage 40$ cash is king lol

I align my Jeep in my garage with a tape measure and then fix the steering wheel if its off by adjusting the drag link a little. Its pretty simple luckily.

A can and a half on during the week leading up to it...
And two full cans during the actual install.


The stuff works to a degree. Its just not the miracle spray that people make it out to be.

Sure do. They arent very noisy. Do awesome in snow and rain. Do pretty good in mud for not being a mud tire.
