Hey gang,

I am finally going to put my XJ back together. I have the head and all of the gaskets and the steering items.

Looking for a little help.

I will be starting around 9:30 ish this Saturday.

My goal is to get my Jeep back on the road this weekend.

To do list:

reinstall head, intake, header
install C-rok steering plates
install axle seals
install steering
maybe install upper control arm bushings if time permits
add oil, plus, antifreeze, etc...


My address is 25251 Arder Court, Lake Forest, 92630

Thanks in advance!
 
Hey Robert, glad to see you got all your parts. Was the head o.k? I don't know if I can make it, but I'll try. I might be getting another XJ, if I get it maybe I'll bring it over.

Thanks! Nope, the head was cracked. I was able to get a goo deal from a couple of fellow XJ'rs. I had the "new" head checked, valve job, and had to have new valves installed. It is ready to go.

I will get all of my gaskets today.

Good luck with the "new" XJ!
 
Great!

Still on. I have to go get a couple of things at 9:00 AM, so if folks could show up closer to 10:00, that would be great!

Just the strippers.... they need to practice....


I should have everything I need.


Thanks!
 
A big thanks to MJR, Original Mud Butt, and Rhino XJ for their help yesterday!

We got a lot done, consider the late start.

Thanks again guys!

The Jeep should be back on the road this week. :yelclap:

Things to finish:

replace or repair A/C bracket (I broke a bolt off during removal)
install radiator
install axle shafts
install steering
add oil
replace upper control bushings
re-do both diff cover gaskets


There may be a few other minor things.
