Its going to be a cold motorcycle ride to see the family tomorrow.

Thanks I was planing on taking my Jeep onto the back of my grandparents property and playing around with some of my cousins on Christmas day but I guess it will have to wait. I'm just glad it decided to seize up in my driveway and not on the road over a hour away from my house.

Ran my upgraded sub wire through the the firewall where the bulk head comes through. Never had a problem until now. Managed to break the wire for the wipers, DOH! All the other functions of the turn signal switch still work though. Any ideas which one is the wipers before I get online and try to find a diagram? I might just have to run a new power wire to the multifunction switch to get my wipers back.
Also got a Jensen Power 900w amp. Good buy for $100.

Got a call from my mom to come over today so since the Jeep is down I rode my motorcycle over. She ended up giving me a $50 visa gift card. 
After I left her house I went straight to autozone and picked up a new idler pulley. Got home and installed it. I can take my Jeep to my Grandmothers tomorrow and tear up her property hehe

Well it would of been good but she broke down on the way back over to my moms house. The trans cooler line popped off the new radiator and I had to leave her on the side of the road in town. I love my Jeep

installed the front skidplate, and found out the ****ers who did my alignment didnt tighten the jam nut on the tierod so now they need to fix is ASAP and it better not take a 2 weeks to get in again. i hate shops, unfortunately an alignment is something i cant do on my own.

Let the Peep have a day of rest, was dump day, so we took the Liberty, son in law's with 5 bags of garbage, 2 boxes of recycles, pile of cardboard, no job for an XJ when in laws are available, to his credit the Libby's chipped and chilled and has a great pullin midrange. Merry Christmas to all!
