threw 5 bucks in the gas tank and drove it to work. 27 miles later it's on E again- gotta love a good gas leak combined with horrid gas mileage.

Installed the ZJ tie rod and ZJ pitman I got at the jy today. Replaced the torn boot on my Rustys trac bar. Before the night is over I will have the muffler and tail pipe that I got at the jy 2 weeks ago installed.

IIRC, its good for 1" drop compared to stock XJ one

Installed my KC Daylighters on the front bumper and installed aux. electric fan with relay and switch.

After we pulled the pitman arm off of the ZJ, we found 2 XJs with same pitman arm and they were both bone stock. It may have been some form of option package. One was a 88 with a factory gas tank skid (we got that). The other was a 95 with factory gas tank, tcase, and front skids (we got the tcase skid from it).

Welded my front bumper to near completion. Moved it out east of town to a buddies shop with a chassis lift, so I can start tearing into the front end!!

1) Wrote the check to purchase it.

2) Drove it home.

3) Washed it.

4) Took pictures of it.



That wind deflector on the rear is ugly, and it's hopefully coming off tomorrow.

I would have more pics shown, but the uploader is being weird. I'll try again later...
