Admittedly, I like the idea but the shine comes off a little when all of the additional stuff is used to fire a… car starter.
What did you do to your XJ/MJ today?

Today's pain in the *** largely maintenance work:
Removed the road-chem ruined factory undercoating from the rear wheel wells and adjacent frame rails, redid with rustoleum pro undercoating. Curious to see if it helps dampen road noise from the tires as claimed.
Also yanked out my RC shocks, managed to "press" out the old bar pins and "press" them into my new jk shocks. Oh and I repainted the JK shocks covering the rubi red with silver. I don't necessarily hate red shocks but they would not match my silver/black scheme well. doing the front wheel wells tomorrow so I'll have to give the road review on the JK shocks at 3" after I get the front wells done tomorrow. Or I might wait til later in the week to put them on. Doing the HD no-lift shackle relocation sometime this week, might be easier to just not have the rear shocks in for that. I feel like they'll be the limiting factor in droop and I plan to drop the axle as far as possible out of the way of the install.
Press is in quotes because I don't own a press or a vice, so I used a floorjack and the bottom of my trailer hitch to substitute. actually worked pretty damned well for something I invented on the spot.

Lund visor? You mean the rain guards? They were on my Jeep when I got it. Jeep came from Florida so I assume the previous owner just wanted to be able to leave the windows open in the Florida heat.newtomezj said:

Well, the road trip proved the overheating problem is still there. Got about 45min down the freeway before the XJ started to overheat. If anything it was more like just watching the temp #s creep up until they hit 245-250F and I shut it down.
Someone local pointed out that I might have gotten the wrong Flowkooler water pump, apparently there are 2 different models that will fit the 4.0L but the correct one is a reverse rotation (counter-clockwise). Sooooo...... I'm ripping out the water pump later today to see WTF the deal is.

Hmm I must have clicked the wrong one. Someone one here had a two toned jeep withy what looked like a Lund visor.

Yeah that would definitely cause it to heat up. I bought an 86 CJ years ago dirt cheap because the owner had the same issue and couldn't figure it out.

This one? I got mine right here on the forum.That's the one. I picked one up that came off of a ranger. But it doesn't look like it's going to fit without u some fooling around. Any suggestions?This one? I got mine right here on the forum.

You can cut it down the middle and remove material, or take off the A-pillar mounts.

Must be a 00-01?iSpark said:
It is. A '00
But the engine isn't messed up.
Eventually I'm going to rebuild it. Already have the head machined and valves done.
I'm taking the Dana 30, the trans., the transfer case, and all related items and putting it in another XJ.
This '00 is becoming a parts Jeep.

Noticed today my drag link on my JCR 1 ton steering rolls... I'm wondering if that's what's causing my bumpsteer...

Well, found out that the impeller on the Flowkooler water pump is rubbing against the cylinder wall.

Might also be why the Torque app was telling me I had a P0301 (cylinder #1 misfire) code pending?
