Ya I know. Its been time. So that means its time to fire up Autocad and let the designing begin. Not going to buy an off the shelf kit.

I ask because I'm debating on fabricating some mounts so I can put an XJ header panel/grill on my ZJ (My header panel's horribly broken and needs to be replaced, and the XJ headers are far, far easier to find than the '93-94 ZJ's, at least here) and might be interested in retaining your services.
Nov 14:
-Installed a new coolant reservoir
-Replaced coolant
-Changed oil (10W30 Castrol High Mileage)
-replaced transmission fluid
-removed and cleaned center console trim

What are you planning on doing?

Just a couple easy things today... installed new thermostat (and flushed the system then new coolant) and new oil filter adapter seal. I only picked up my XJ a few weeks ago, but I've worked on the I6's for years.

Want to design a rear bumper that works with cut and fold rear quarters? I’ve caught both my rear quarters a couple of time and I’m thinking about getting a new rear bumper with cut and fold protection. May end up just getting the area fab bumper made for the cut and fold if I can scrape up some money/sell my current bumper/ get time. Should’ve just gotten it when I bought a bumper the first time, but I didn’t really wheel it then and didn’t think I’d ever need to cut and fold.

So while cruising Ebay I came across a 6 disc CD changer from a '98 Chrysler Minivan. If you guys remember I was having problems with my changer. I could not see the pin out but the wire and connector looked the same. The remote was completely different. Decided to take a chance. The changer was the correct one so I installed it. Seems to operate properly but we will see what happens in the long run.

Mine came with my '00. Also has the CD Enclosure in the back. I believe them to be Dealer installed options and not factory. Shot of my remote and the CD Enclosure. Just took a bit of a trip to gas up. Amazing how a 25 minute drive around here can save you 30 cents a gallon. The changer seemed to be operating as it should. Fingers crossed. LOL.

Used my Jeep to bring toys to a toy drive. Been doing this for about 5 years now. Enlisted the help of my friends kid. Thinking he was about 7 when we started doing this. He is 12 now. Then I take him out to lunch. It is kind of a thing now. We have a budget and try to get as much bang for our buck as we can. Made out great this year. 6 of those dump trucks and 9 of the dog dolls. Figure just because I am going to be miserable on Christmas (LOL) why should some kid be.
