Tackled the good ol' rear shock bolts. I bought this XJ (98) a couple months ago with 254k on the clock and it still had the original shocks. Only the front passenger shock was even partially functional. Had to use a dremel to completely grind away the heads of the rear bolts (too rusty to even get a socket on them) so I could punch them through and fish in new bolts.
Also discovered that the rear output of the transfer case is bent, so I suppose that's next weekend's project. Then ball joints and front wheel bearings the next week since the bottom bj's are seized up pretty bad and the bearings have just a bit more play than I'm willing to ignore. After that I think she'll be ready for duty as my new winter beater
