    I was actually reading your thread on that yesterday! Did you ever figure out the rear springs? I guess the fork mounts would have to be fabricated which wouldn’t be hard, and I guess the top mount would also have to be fabbed up as well

    Boy, has it been a minute. That old XJ in this build thread is long gone. The guy who sold it to me neglected to tell me that the oil rings were shot. I'm not kidding when I say this, it would burn 1qt per 30 miles. I resorted to putting used oil in it just to put put around in it. Sold it for a...

    Changed the pitman shaft seal and had to take the front driveshaft off to grease it up. That center ling ball yoke is a PITA to grease. The flush zerk wasnt accepting grease so I had to squirt it in around the boot and work it into the joint And on another note: So if you have an old tired...

Lay it on thick keep the roller full at all times as I didnt use enough on the first coat and now i have to do a...

    Replaced both axle seals, wheel bearings, and brake shoes since the drivers seal blew out on the first wheeling trip and coated the drum and almost nonexistent friction material on the shoe so figured it was about time to fix em. The passenger side didn't catastrophically fail like the drivers...

    I've been very busy the past couple weeks. Fixed the rest of the holes in the floor, sanded everything down and applied chassis saver. Next step will be monstalining. Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

    Ripped out the rest of the interior in preparation for bedlining. Vacuumed out all of the dirt from last wheeling trip. Next step is to fix the rest of the holes and wire wheel the loose rust off then a final vacuum then MEK wipe down and itll be ready for bedlining Sent from my iPhone using...

    Replaced the harmonic balancer that was digging into my timing cover and front crank seal since I was in there and it was leaking. Also wire wheeled out all the rust and shop vacced the dirt and debris out.

    It's not the fan clutch that went it was the pulley mounted to the AC compressor bracket which is none serviceable. I'm eventually going to go with a dual efan setup in the next couple of weeks. As of right now it's staying at operating temp. My AC doesn't even work so as you can see I didn't...
