Ps, you've got to be much closer to the truck if you want to get any real benefit out of it!

Benefits: strong, tunable, good looking
Drawback: not as cheap as a no name white body shock

I gave my XJ a tune up. New distributor cap, rotor, plug wires, and spark plugs.

Replaced 6 qts of dexiii from my tranny. It's finally starting to look red! I have 2 qts left in the bottle but I'm going to drive it a bit more before doing the rest. I was just taking it for 5 minute rides to cycle the fluid for the first 6qts.

Did a winter inspection, figured out where my leaky tire is leaking from, hopefully get it fixed tomorrow. Also realized my transmission was running a quart low

I picked up a used tnt long arm kit today!! They have been sitting outside for three years, and have a bolt snapped off in one of the bushings, but they look like they will clean up nice.

Solid! Where was the tire leaking? I guess mine is leaking from the rim/valve area. Had a shop look at it, and they couldn't find any tire/bead problems, and they replaced the valve. They said it looked pretty rusty around the valve area so it may not seal well. I was thinking of throwing some Stan's notubes sealant or similar in there, and trying to get it to seal. Anyone have luck doing that?
