Well didn't really do much to it but priced out parts. New axle u-joints, balance driveshaft, and clear turn lenses for the front end.

If it's hits hissing at you then i don't know. Mine hisses but works so don't fix what ain't broke!
Check the plug on the tranny. My reverse lights stopped working and when I was underneath looking for an oil leak I noticed the a plug(assuming reverse lights) half melted cuz it landed on the exhaust. Now I don't care since I installed backup lights on the roof rack that are brighter and at my command.

Completed rear drum brake overhaul on my 97 XJ. Relatively simple following "how to" on this forum, except didn't have needlenose vice grips or spring compressing tool for the maddening shoe retainer springs. Found out after that a compressing tool is only about 4 bucks and would have been the best investment of the year!

found out the brakes are not fixed. seems like the booster is slowly kicking the bucket. activation point is slowly rising when i drive around. each time i hit hte brakes they are closer and closer till they are hard and at the top
