New Timken unit bearings, newish 95 abs front shafts with Spicer 760 joints. Found out my seals are in worse shape than I thought.

New Toy Project
Just got a "new to me" XJ. I have owned several Jeeps and been looking up at the undersides of Jeeps since the 70's. Just put a Zone Brand 3" lift with an Add-a-leaf, some new Cooper rubber and new wheels from Tire Discounters. Added new stabilizer links and 1" trans drop kit. Easy install for the most part. I did have to install new rear brake hose. Used one listed for a 95 YJ Wrangler. It provided an additional 3" of length and worked out just right. Front hoses still have adequate length. Found this Jeep from a VA dealer. Thought I could save some time and money running around the east coast looking for a quality rig. What I got was a long list of issues and a dealer who showed no interest in making things right. This is a Roanoke-Salem dealer that "specializes" in Jeeps. Not to worry, I will get the bugs worked out and enjoy this one for years to come.

What did you do to your cherokee today?
Cleaned it up and drove it today to our local club meet and greet/work day. I haven't actually drove it in a while.

Last week I replaced the sway bar, links and bushings then drove it and there is still a little slop but not a full on death wobble anymore (pics to follow eventually) and today I started the heater valve removal. I am waiting on a hose to be delivered to Advance Auto tomorrow to complete it but the heater core is flushed out and not leaking in the cab but I discovered that the leak appears to be coming from the top radiator hose so my list for Sunday after work just expanded.
