Always start with cheap and easy. a $10 multimeter will reap many benefits. And, you get to look real smart while using it!!

Dropped it off for inspection, seems like I actually did a good job fixing it up when I got it.

It needs a new brake line and the oil filter housing o ring is leaking like suggested by some of you here. So the only thing I missed really to get it to pass inspection was the brake line, which actually just broke the other day anyway.

Only bad news? Steering pump is the leak I have been trying to nail down. It must be a slow leak because I haven't had any issues with it yet. Probably just fix it myself when it goes bad.

How hard are these to replace?

PS pumps aint that bad to replace. Did mine in a few hours but I took it slow and replaced a few other parts while I had it apart.

Got some bumps in my xj. Had an old box sitting around from my scion tc. The last box I had took up to much room in the back so I downgraded a little but I gained a ton of storage space.

Put my grille guard on yesterday. Now my jeep looks kind of cool again but I'd much rather just get a big winch bumper but I don't have any money for that..

Rearview mirror fell off. So while I am in the auto part store getting the glue. I come outside to find the dang mail man checking out the jeep (he pulled right next to it). He said "that's a nice TRUCK" and drove off.

Drove 200 miles back home from summer school. Ran as cool as the other side of the pillow at 70mph on the highway with the AC on!! And it's 93 degrees outside!!
The temp was about 205 the whole way
