pulled out the winch cable and rewound it. Checked oil and added a half qt. topped the antifreeze off and added some power steering fluid. Got all the old worn out part out of her and tosed them into my scrap pile its about time to run it to the scrap yard.

Drove it to work, got pulled over for speeding. I was happy cause I found where my 2 year old hid my keys 2 weeks ago. Sneaky little bugger.

Past 2 days.
Removed old 27 spline axle, and dented gas tank, rebuilt the brakes on a new 29 spline 8.25 with a locker, built an XJ XJ bastard pack, used the old sway bar mounts for bar pin eliminators, note the 8.25 sway bar mounts need a little bit of work to be used as bar pin eliminators , replaced the gas tank, new to me rancho 9000s.
now the rig is level and locked out back.

Hit a guardrail thanks to black ice and ABS that makes your brakes not work at inopportune times. Now I need a new bumper and headlight bezel. What a great way to ruin my afternoon drive.

Replaced sparkplugs and changed oil for first time on friday. I used 10w40 to try to quiet down a couple things. Sanded rear bumper, fixed a few knicks and repainted with 3m professional rubberized undercoating. Came out pretty good, not perfect. Then again, it's just gonna get banged up and scratched, that's why it's a bumper.

Not today but, yesterday, I finished the install of my rear hitch. Now I have both front and rear hitches installed and ready for use.

Still Just Emptying Every Pocket
Worked on trying to finish the lift install (On hour 77). Just keep finding things that need to be fixed.
Worked on replacing the unit bearing on the front axle. Rotor was severely seized to the old bearing, so I just removed the whole bearing rotor attached. I guess it needs to have the font brakes re-done any way.
I the process I noticed that the axle- u-joints have almost fallen apart so this will be the third set I have to change (3rd jeep 3rd set makes sense)
My steering is still binding on my sway bar mounts. Haven't figured it out yet. More drop on the pitman? Sway Bar mount relocation? or is my drag link bent on my Currie HD steering
