1. Flushed the radiator (entire inside of radiator was coated in muddy crap)
2. changed the serpentine belt, kept slipping and had dozens of cracks and splits in it
3. Used Meguiars trim detail to get my plastics nice and dark (actually worked too, unlike that crappy Mother's Back to Black)
4. Used Armor All extreme tire shine, found it in a gift pack my dad got me, so I thought why the hell not....
5. Gave my XJ a severely needed wash
6. Replaced bolt in front caliper, some idiot replaced the star pattern bolt with a standard bolt which was completely stripped to the point where it was smooth at the end
7. Interior cleaning (still smells like cigarettes though)

I think that's about it, best day spent this week

I took my 92 Laredo out for the first time in 6 months since I put it in storage for the winter. The neutral safety switch finally gave out so I replaced it. I love driving the 92 because it makes me realize how much of an unsafe vehicle my lifted 96 is. I mean, the steering, brakes, and shifter are stiff and feel like im driving a new Jeep. The 96 has tons of play in the steering, a crooked steering wheel, and my brakes have to be mashed down, even after I installed new cross drilled and slotted rotors, new calipers and pads, and bled the brakes.

I went out and drove back and forth over a stack of tires and wheels to make sure every thing still "works." Would drove onto the tailgate of the Colorado but didn't think the straps would hold!

Today...nothing. Yesterday I tested my new mudders, they gripped the terrain amazingly and gave me the best off road experience to date.

Yeah i think that that year of the laredo trim is probably the best Jeep XJ you can get your hands on. The laredo trim line looks great and it has the 4.0 High Output. the only reason why 96 is also a good year is because of OBDII, but other than that it doesn't have much goin for it lol
