Chased the threads on the clutch post for my AC compressor. Finally spliced in the new magnet, and fired it up and everything worked great. Burned in the new clutch faces and took it for a spin. Operational once again!

Attempted to start the front of my lift. Not a good first day. Started by taking the trans crossmember off and broke 3 of the 4 bolts. I ordered some nutserts, hopefully they work.

Yup. Go for another xj and you'll have a small army. Plus you'll have many choices each morning like the stars lol

Yeah we're not a rich town...everybody pulls with their daily drivers. Plus it's a small town, with a population of 10,000...I didn't get to stay for most of the diesel class, sadly.

Idk how familiar you are with Maine, but only tourists with 6,000+ square foot vacation homes on the water have that kind of money here. Unless you're in Cape Elizabeth, or maybe some Bowdoin College kids with their brand new Range Rovers...Plus rich people here spend all their money on multimillion dollar yachts...I see them every day im out lobstering

I got my 50-inch LED light bar installed on the roof with some Inspired Engineering brackets and found a great way to route the wiring without doing any drilling at all and keeping it all out of sight.







Another thing is I was able to wire it up to the factory fog light switch so that I didn't have any of the aftermarket toggle switches dangling around in the cabin. So overall, I'm pretty happy with the installation results.

Yes, the light came with the wiring harness pictured (relay is in that). I routed the 3 wires from the included wiring harness through the switch.
