Changed the oil sending unit and tightened the valve cover bolts up.

Trimmed my spacers a bit, leveled it out and made it feel more stable. Double checked the torque everything. Checked brake lines for length. Definitely need the steering upgrade now, flex on the right is limited by the steering. Oh well, on the list.

Have you looked at cutting a hole in the side of the consol by the shifter? I would take it apart and see if you can cut a hole in the side and then screw it in there. I know on the 95 xj there is room in there if you place it just right.

took it and filled her up 3.52 and then went and degreased the engine to help in locating my leak that has my driveway covered in oil lately. It kinda looks like the oil pan it the colprut right after cleaning but I could be wrong. what is the best way to get it the pan off with a stock XJ???? I am not able to lift it any time soon!!!
