Pressure washed all the mud off it from the weekend. hit all the grease fitting that I could. Vaccumed it. Waxed it. Then just let it look pretty in the drive way.

Got it back from the shop. Had the sheared motor mount bolts taken out. Glad i brought it to a shop...seems the PO had this happen before and drilled CROOKEDLY through to the crankcase in one hole, which only had 2 "wraps" of thread for the bolt to hold. Due got it all fixed up for me though, and the good news is that that motor mount hole he had drilled through (which the shop plugged somehow) was the source of ALL my oil leaks. I now have a leak free XJ. WITH the motor held in place properly! I am a happy dude today!

I've been running without front or rear swaybars for a few months now, and let me tell ya... HELL YA IT LEANS!!! With my 4'' lift i've leaned so far over in a turn that I heard my outside tire rub the fender Its scary, trust me. But its ok, I "accidentely" threw the stock swaybars in the scrap metal pile. So now the wife says I can buy the Currie Antirock that I really want
