My ‘90 XJ was quick, even with the “non-HO” 4.0L. It had the NP242 t-case, and it was nimble as could be on snowy streets. I could do some Ken Block stuff with it. All that low end grunt was great.
Johnny, I hear you on the no car payments and easy to repair. I’d also like to add that googling repairs/parts are easy. I was thinking back to when I had my Cherokees. Google X-repair for Jeep Cherokee, and you get your results, plus every generation of Grand Cherokee. So, you google Jeep XJ...
I’m so glad ducking isn’t a thing in my neck of the woods.
It reminds me of a post on FB, though. A girl ducked this guy’s jeep, and she went into the store. On her return, she was met with the same duck back on her jeep, only it had been decapitated :D
I had a good time fishing. The “wheeling” was subpar. The old forest roads are a lot nicer than I remember. I pulled off on my way out to make a quick ramen noodle lunch.
I know if you’re in 4 Low, you can start the engine without pushing the clutch it. I’m guessing that’s what the “transmission range” block is in the upper diagram. I highly doubt my haynes book will show anything different, but I will look.
I’ll keep that in mind, Sota.
I went to the range and then tried a couple forest roads near it. I got a little muddy, but nothing crazy. Mostly, the roads were just lopey. Tomorrow, I’m going fishing, and I might find some more entertaining roads.
Almost rolled it…
I was returning my trailer to the back garage. I went and picked up my four wheeler (2003 Honda Rincon 650) from my parents’ house. It towed just fine. I need to make a regular tailgate for the trailer for when I’m hauling garbage and other things that sized. The ramp stands...
I figured out why my trailer lights don’t work properly (mostly). The yahoo who installed the T splice kit did not loom or tape the wires, and the insulation wore through over time. This must have shorted somewhere, because the right turn signal has always been too dim to see. So, I cut the...
They’ll have to rebalance everything anyways, and I don’t have time to do it this week or next. I got the manager to write it out on my tire slip, so it should be good.
Tires are on! However, the guy didn’t pay attention to my sheet and installed the tires white letter out… Oh well. They will get swapped around when I go back for a balance and rotate.
I ordered tires today. Our local L&M Supply (it’s basically a regional Tractor Supply type chain) has $50 off a set of 4 tires, which is what I’ve been waiting for. So, this week I’ll have a set of Advanta ATX-750’s coming in. They’re a cheap no frills tire, but the set I have have been awesome...
