Here what I did with my xj. I helped a BMW 5 series touring jump start their car. I hate when a battery can't be under the hood. Those little connection bolts they give suck ***, plus everything is plastic under the hood so you don't get a good ground. Took me 30 mins in 24 degree, windchill 0 weather and when I finally got it charged enough for them to start it their alternator was shot to hell, it was a pretty new BMW too sucks for them.

Haha!! thanks guys. and ya I need to upgrade to like 1 ton axles to get brakes big enough to stop the whole load, but it was a one time thing(I hope). So the bigger axles will wait until i'm running a lot bigger tire lol

Wow, I was reading along and saw the XJ on the trailer and thought... "what is my Jeep doing on that trailer???"
Mine:
Well... when we were at the mudhole today my buddys fuel pump went bad in his XJ, so he decided to play around in his Chevy tow rig that he towed his jeep out with. So... as you would think, he broke the tow rig too!!! So then my XJ got to tow home a 22ft. trailer with an XJ on 38s all the way home about 70 miles away while having 5 people in my jeep. I even did with no issues at all!! I didn't overheat, tranny didn't slip, nothin!! All I noticed was that my stock brakes suck at stopping about 12000lbs rolling down the road

Attempted to remove the rear sway bar. Got mad at stuck bolts and frozen mud melting and falling in my eyes, said screw it. I'll do it when its warm enough to wash the undercarriage.

Threw my new 2"x20' tow strap in the back of it. Last time out we had a strap chain combo an my strap broke slinging the chain an nearly hitting my buddy not good. So my new strap will prevent that in the future.

went & got my alignment done, i'd done sooo much since the last time (steering box, zj drag link, rusty's tie rod, KOR track bar, & some off-roading. toe-in was actually toe-out! only like that 4 a day or so (just put the new-2-me tie rod & drag link on), & didn't want 2 make mistakes before my trip up north 2 oregon.
the only thing that i found was that my brake lines were cracked, ordered yj front lines so i don't have 2 do the same work twice. (3.5" lift going on soon). lines in tomorrow.
thanks for the heads-up fajita, i'll go easy on her 'till i get more $$.
