LMAO. Nicely done sir.

I would just say pay close attention to how the flat part is done on the brake piston. I had to redo mine after I re-installed it. Easier to do out side the XJ than in side.

Stopping on those 35's is gonna be a bit different than stopping on your 33's. You've added a lot of rolling mass to the XJ when you went bigger. Don't forget that part.

HEY! I was being serious. You said, OBO, so I gave my best offer. Now, let's see if anyone tops it. :)

my wife said she'd give me some for it.......sorry you got beat :D

Yano, if I didn't like Lisa I could make SOOOOOOOO many comments about that Flores! I do think she's cool, and since she has to put up with you and all, I won't.

That being said....she doesn't count since SHE'S the owner anyway. You cannot buy what you already own, so, I guess I did just beat it. :)

Oh? M'thinks that you're legally obligated to do so.

As the personal representative of the actual owner of the vehicle in question, you extended an offer, to wit: to sell the above-referenced Jeep Cherokee XJ for $8,000.00 or best offer. The said offer contained no disclaimer or right to revoke the said offer. The said offer was accepted upon the issuance of the best offer to date (the "Contract"). You then unilaterally attempted to renegotiate the newly formed said Contract.

I assure you that your continued attempts to breach the Contract will be met with the filing of a law suit for,amongst other things, breach of contract, violations of the Texas Deceptive Trade Practices - Consumer Protection Act (chapter 17, Texas Business and Commerce Code), attorneys fees (if applicable), and for any further relief under the law or equity to which I might be entitled.

My offer is $500 then I sell it back to you for $510. This will get you out of said offer from Ian, and make me $10 for just being a nice guy!

BTW should this be moved to the For Sale section now?? LOL

Glad you caught that before the offer was accepted Ian or i would have been in Flores's shoes.... however, thanks to you catching my mistake... I changed the offer before it was seen/accepted by the seller.

Glad I could help. :)

You're correct Flores, the reverse holds true also however. I'll gladly help Justin draft all the documents he needs to file the same lawsuit and leave it to you to prove to the trier of fact as to what the time frame was to be.

And given your actions during this discussion, I bet he'd win. ;)

About the brake booster I followed MadMax's directions (I think that is his name) And did not alter the rod going to the booster but just removed the nylon bushing. I have to depress the brake pedal pretty hard to get it out of park but that is the only drawback I have come across. Mine is a 90 and the booster is a 96.
