Checked with my dad about that he said it was good but Im not sure. My dads been a mechanic for 35+yrs so I trust him but I also wonder how he could tell it was good PO ran salt water thru the motor which is why I rebuilt the cooling system and flushed the block. Is there any way to really check the water pump? I mean water circulates in the over flow tank when the motors running so I assume its working as it should.

Old School Cherokee Fender Emblems
Installed these today as a nod to the past. Like the 1970's. I scored a pair of these old FSJ Cherokee emblems. They are in good shape really. The full relief of the indian head did not come out real well in the pic. They are too shiny to photograph well. But in real life they are way cool looking.

Bodywork looks seriously polished, I should be ashamed as apart from the underneath of mine I rely on rain to keep crap off.

Replaced my Wiper Arms
I upgraded to the '97-'01 wiper arms on my '96..............To get rid of that stupid pin-mount blade retention.........(I lost a blade more than once)...
They are a direct fit on the older XJ's. Just pop the old ones off, and pop the new ones on.
These are Dorman new replacements. $10 each.
