ugh, I had to pull my wheel to tighten a loose bolt yesterday, It took so long to get it back together, kept dropping parts and not realizing it.

Yea it is. Turn signal switches actually come out easy too. I've had to do enough that I just bought my own puller.

Tightened up all my exhaust and intake manifold bolts

New oxygen sensor installed,new coil in aswell.

Was a good day,and she runs like a beast!

Once I get my balljoints and muffler done with I'll be satisfied and will start saving for longarm's.


Its been getting consistently better running since I got It,and I bought it about a year ago

Cleaned out the inside of my XJ today, took the doors off, and went for a drive. Threw a 12" subwoofer in it too, hooked up to my Kicker ZX200.2 amp, and hooked the 6x9's straight to the head unit (they were run off the amp before I put the subwoofer in).

Pulled my Jeep up to the garage to weld up an exhaust leak, and the water pump blew out. So I replaced the O2 senor, clutch fan, water pump and welded the exhaust back together. Got to love when this crap happens, but at least it's all fixed and much quieter!

Installed a new catalytic converter and Spectre cowl intake. My muffler is in my back seat at the moment because I had to cut off some of the pipe with the old rusted cat still stuck in it, which didn't leave enough room to clamp around the new cat converter. Gotta get it welded on later this week.

The jeep sounds so badass now with the new intake and no muffler. Was seriously considering straight piping it haha.
