Tightened belt, it was loose since I replace water pump last week and the belt is new. It was beginning to squek when I used my AC or Defroster.

My 98' XJ is easy just loosen the idler pulley below the water pump and turn the adjusting screw, retighten idler pulley and done total time 10 minutes including getting tools. My older jeep 88 I had to loosen the water pump which was kind of a pain.

All is fine now.

Next job the short in my power window lock. Then everything will be perfect in XJ.

Well I don't know gears and axles like most of y'all, I'm mostly a engine Guy. But making **** out out metal is my thing. So it will either kick a bunch of *** or be lame as hell. Either way ill rock it I'm my Jeep. I'm hoping to keep the hole thing under 2 1/2 inches high. I'll post a pic of the lights when I get them.

Apologized to Sherri for cussing at her so much last night when I was replacing her left motor mount. She was looking very sad this morning, and she said it was the way I said it, not what I said.....

We're all happy now though!
