Up two nights in a row with friends over past midnight. Hot tub and bon fire.
Now I am putting central air in my house.

Just ordered all the axle stuff to make another trailer. Going to make a 6x10 single axle for the camper, that way I can leave it on there and take it camping except when I am towing jeep. It's a pia to put in truck and I would like the use of the truck as a truck, so I don't have to leave the camper in it.
My car trailer is too wide to set it on there properly.
I should just get rid of the jeep and get a class a and a car that gets good mileage....but that wouldn't be any fun.

Installing a new radiator in the 2000 limited. Everything was going easy, but I knew there was one part that I was dreading to do....
The damn lower radiator transmission cooler line.
When I did the radiator in the 2000 rebuilder xj, it was a pain, but I got the four prong connector off with a small screwdriver. It helped that everything in front of the radiator was gone.
But this one as having none of it. Tried the plastic QD tool, the metal QD one too, and some handheld ones too. But no luck on any of them. Quite frustrated at this point.
So I borrowed a cordless angle grinder(omg, where have you been my life), and just cut the damn hose. I will get some 3/8" or 5/16" trans line and some hose clamps and call it done. Some say that fix won't last, and it might not. I'll just keep an eye on it. If something happens, I will get a new line and be done with it.

Mine hasnt had quick connects on it since I put the Radiator in 3 years ago. I shoved a hose on there and double clamped it and called it done. I did break a steel cooler line a couple months ago but the rest is holding strong.
Id say go for it.

Got my tom woods shaft the other day. Came polished and clear coated. Looks amazing! I don know why I didn't do this a long time ago. Going to spray some paint on it so it doesn't get surface rust. It's heavy and way beefier than the stock XJ front shaft that I twisted.

What size are the bolts that hold the trans to the engine? Need to pick some up to put the stroker on a stand.

3/8 for the top 2 and 7/16 for the bottom 2, coarse thread. Length will depend on how thick your flanges are on the engine stand, I'd think 2.5" long would be good.
