It got stuck at 85 for a few minutes as I slowed down. Now that there's day light I looked over the jeep and noticed it full of river bed sand. Stuff smells bad when wet. And I plan on dropping the tc today to replace. Now I gotta wash her.

Oil change!
Never buying one of those again. I know why they put a "nut" on top now, because otherwise there is NO where to get grip on that thing. Had to find a 1" socket to torque that pos off.
Replaced it with Puralator L30001 nice big filter.
And Mobil Super, I'll probably go synthetic after I fix all my leaks lol.
After I got it done the rain looked like it was moving in so I went back home. I need my dads help anyways because it sucks dropping a tcase without a second pair of hands. Damn near impossible to get one back in there lol.

Recently I removed the little plastic thing at the bottom of the doors of my xj, but there were some imperfection that I didn't like so yesterday I decided to give plasti dip a shot and try it out. I've only done it for the driver's door because it took me forever to clean everything up. I'll do the rest as I get more free time.
Oh, and I'm really happy with the results. I'll just have to wait to see if it holds on correctly.
(left is plasti dipped, right is normal)

Removed valve cover to re-torque the head bolts. When I put the valve cover back on, I broke two valve cover bolts when torquing them to spec. One was a complete break and the other snapped about half way thru. I had to drill out the middle and use the ez-out bit to get the lower half out. It came out very easy. Man, glad I did not have to tap hole and re-thread it. Is it very common for these to fatigue and break?
The rockers, push rods, and valve springs looked to be in great shape. Hardly any varnish and I have 170,000 miles.
