Got mad at the '95 and yelled at it.
Driving home as a blizzard is picking up. Made it just fine until I tried to turn around in my driveway. Under the fresh snow is a layer of ice from freezing rain last weekend. Couldn't climb the slight incline toward the road. Rear wheel drive with an open differential is useless.
To be fair, my car would have been even more stuck. At least the Jeep was still over the snow. The car's floorpan would have been down in it.

Now to either yell at it some more or browse the web for inexpensive lockers. I suppose I won't yell it now. It did get me to work and back, blasting through snowdrifts. The latter would be more productive anyway.

Had the whole rear end torn apart with the bumper and gas tank skid removed to install shackle relocators so figured I would replace the fuel pump while I had easy access to the gas tank in order to replace a blown check valve that was making me have to do the double start.

Thinking of picking up some Rotella T6 and Napa oil filter then doing an oil change. Only problem is snow. We are currently have it and are getting more right now and the next couple days, I need a garage to work in

The fluids all appeared good when I initially looked at it. Reservoir was at the full line. Next time I went to see it, assumed (stupid mistake) that all was good and over looked it. I got the XJ for practically a steal, so no complaints.

Check your oil and make sure it isn't milky

Converted driver seat from power to manual today:
Also, installed the Hooligan 50-inch light bar brackets to replace the Inspired Engineering ones. They sit lower for a lower-profile on the Jeep. I also removed teh roof rack:
