Just finished replacing the starter. It wouldn't engage at 4 am when I was tried to go to work so I had to commandeer my wifes car for the day. New starter and it fired right up.

Great, now address your oil leak preferably the valve cover gasket and oil filter adapter. They are the main killers of our 4.0 starters.

Or get a manual transmission and ditch your starter

Yeah, I considered replacing with a replacement 195 thermostat. Just decided to go with the lower temp. I talked with another Jeep buddy and pulled the trigger on the lower one. I didn't think it could hurt. We shall see, right?

Spent the morning swearing at my alternator. Easier than some cars but were all those bolts and two brackets necessary?

Front is pretty much done, just gotta sand out and bedline the rears in the morning and that's a wrap.

Prepped the green gremlin for this weekends trip down to Uwharrie. Put together the oh **** bag, packed what little I need. Is it sad that Im taking more for the jeep than I am for me? Checked all fluids and the tires.

On a different note, some idiot flying through the parking lot clipped my truck as I was backing out yesterday after work. Luckily, in the old days they built vehicles out of metal so it only dented my bumper a little bit.

I was invited by the Line-X crew who had four spots reserved for us.



My friend's drone captured me and a friend in front of my XJ.







Of all the XJs I saw, this was one of the best! This guy has been painstakingly modding his ride for the past 16 years! He even converted it from an automatic transmission to a manual. Very impressive build.



Despite the derision by many of the new Cherokee, this guy really had it decked out and boasted about being able to handle tough trails in Rausch.



Jeeps Against Cancer 2016 in Lyndhurst, NJ.
That's actually a pretty respectable KL.... based on those that I've seen. We had one running the stock course at Jeeptoberfest this year. Not sure how many bypasses he had to take, but he made it all the way to the end at least once

So.... I'm guessing we're getting creative with attaching them to the body seeing as there's not factory brackets.... AMIRIGHT?
