Built some new shackles. The old ones couldn’t hang.

What did you do to your XJ/MJ today?

That looks to be in fair shape .
And , 3.29 ... I filled up yesterday . It was 2.95 . Still about double what it should be .
It’s got some dings and dents, but it’s pretty clean as far as rust is concerned. And yeah gas prices in CT suck. I mostly buy diesel, and those prices suck even more.That looks to be in fair shape .

Dings and dents are easy enough to take care of . I always envied the 'rustless' Jeeps pictured here .
Michigan salt rusting the frame through on our '95 XJ was the biggest reason we traded it .
I likely wouldn't loose much sleep if I owned fairly rust free XJ .
Well buy this one. It will be for sale in a few weeks.Dings and dents are easy enough to take care of . I always envied the 'rustless' Jeeps pictured here .

Ha . The deals always seem to happen at the worst times for me .
All non essential funds are being channeled toward buying a new to us home .
We've been on the road full time RVers for going on 14 years . My wife wants a base to travel from and I'd like some kind of shop to tinker in .
Who’s knocking? The answer is number 3.

What are you doing to that poor Jeep ?
Bought the Jeep like this. Clean XJ but was cheap because the motor sounded terrible. I’m just getting it back in shape so someone else can love it again.What are you doing to that poor Jeep ?
Skirt issues are more common than people like to talk about on these engines. I’ve seen quite a few failed piston skirts.

So a picture of the Jeep's new home.
Did an oil and filter change, greased everything, checked all the fluids, new air filter, and wiper blades.
Slight problem with the oil filter though.
I restocked on my Napa Gold 1085's awhile back. And while they are rebranded Wix due to covid and supply chain issues they are made by some company out of Germany.
Can't recall who something H_____ & M______ I think.
I use an oil filter cap. Helps to not whack the oil pressure sending unit and since I plumbed it those fittings it sticks out that much farther.
And my hands don't really work as well as they used to so when putting on the filter I do it hand tight the best I can, put the oil cap back on, and give it a little extra.
I find it I don't do that a little tiny bit of oil wants to come out between the adapter and the filter at the bottom.
So the new filters are fluted at the top, sorry I should have taken a picture, and I can not use my oil filter cap on it.
So I cranked it the best I could with my hands and we will see what happens.
What also worries me is trying to get it off in October for the next oil change.
Doubt I will be able to get it off with hands and thinking now I will have to buy an oil filter wrench,
Hoping I can get it in there and not bang on the sensor while doing it.
Going to go to the store and see if we sell a cap for this type of filter.
But also hoping that regular Wix filters are back in stock and swap the other 2 I have in stock for them.
Just wished I noticed this before.
Oh well.
LOL.

So have had a blown driver's side fog light since last Winter and finally got around to swapping another one in.
Had 2 brand new, left and right, fog lights still in "stock" so installed both of those.
Figured this way both would match.
Also figure replace the blown bulb in the one and have 2 used ones in "stock" for the next time.
Also got around to vacuuming the Jeep.
After the move And Winter it was kind of a mess in there.
Still needs a good cleaning and detailing and will get that done in time.
