I put 27k on my XJ in a little under a year. The Comanche is about to roll 150k...again, since I swapped clusters.

What a great idea! I might have to steal it from you! I'll probably stick with my SuperBrightLEDs though. They're really wonderful, and obnoxiously bright. How'd you go about running the wiring for that? I found it interesting that since my LED install, the push-button switch lens on the rear cargo doesn't work anymore.

I drove it (the 99) like an ******* to get my girl to work. Did 85 almost the whole way, changing lanes like a Ferrari.

That made me realize that neither of my front shocks are shocking. I think I also lost the last bit of bushing in my driver side sway bar link.

Also when I got home I realised my rear leafs are sagging pretty bad. Worse than before, probably because there's only one rear shock.

I can't wait til I can get stuff done on my 91 and give this DD some attention. Poor thing.

Welcome to the "stocker" club! I took out my swaybar altogether since my bushings were shot as well, and the end links are nearly rusted through. My shocks are rusty and surprised that they work at all. can't wait to replace all that crap!

Haha... yea the stock-ness of my DD is getting to me. It will have a BB and 30s and decent used shocks after I get my sye case in my 91 and it can be driven.

I'd be afraid to take the sway bar off in its current state the shocks are shot and the coils are well worn thing sway like a weak tree on the wind WITH the sway bar lol.

Mine definitely rolls pretty good around corners more noticably without the sway. It's really not bad though. My shocks are horribly rusted. I suspect they are factory original. Lord I can't wait to get my new suspension installed!

Petcock is what we call that on the radiator. IIRC, the factory one is plastic garbage.

And impossible to get to. For the longest I didn't know they had one until I pulled a radiator out. Lol
