Thanks husky-on vacation this week so that will be on the agenda.

Just checking here before I start with the yards around me (and since I'm traveling this upcoming week for work). Long story short-door locks take one worn worn ass key and now my ignition cylinder is broke-pulling the key out while on isn't the best for the battery when I forget to check it...

Jealous of that new ride UNCC-Wife won't let me get a hatchback so I settled for a Volvo S60 T5 Sedan. Great minus the hot ass leather when I park it outside. Side note-just picked up R134a and a new battery for the XJ-Ignition cylinder on order-mine broke and I pulled the key out leaving it...

Past weekend-pulled the key out of the ignition after turning the xj off-problem was it was in the on position and I didn't notice (so along with my nearly gone door locks the ignition cylinder is on the replace list). Go back out to replace the cigarette lighter (I smoke cigars and grabbed a...

Good to know. Too bad I've seen 5 or so trail worthy XJ's in the past 2 weeks near me. Going to start taking pictures and starting a directory of them lol.

Any aftermarket carpet setups worth the $$? Did it in a previous vehicle and never fit right. I'm thinking of just pulling what's left of the carpet-spraying it down with some bedliner type material then keeping my rubber mats in. Heat like Marcelo73 said will be increased but easier...

Just curious who all is in the area/where. I know there's a good bit that wheel URE but thinking, if it hasn't been done already, of some meetups sometime. Old car club used to do them-sometimes a seedy restaurant and other times it was a wrenching weekend. Don't want to hate on the further...

I see em but generally don't get time. Hoping to at least soon make it to URE. Few more details left. This weekend is no jeep work-in a wedding so I'll be well off by this time Sat I'm guessing. Shine shots before and after the ceremony. Boy must need some liquid courage.

There's a lot of XJ's built up around me in upstate SC and Charlotte area. TBH my time is crap-I've had my XJ for 2 years and just gotten it dirty once. Just been building/fixing it when time allows.

Anyone have one they're willing to sell?

Been a long while but filled up my diff with fluid (Lucas heavy duty with friction modifier-kind of forgot that last time and the etced didn't like it in LSD mode). Drove around-wife noticed a leak. Kind of helps to tighten the lower radiator belt down at the water pump. Considering I...

Damn-another parts store trip is in order. Sweet write ups by both.

Ditto. I'm doing the same job as the OP and went with a 3 row radiator and mostly Napa/Advance parts (Advance has some pretty sweet online order deals I've seen-helped doing it over a couple weeks to save some $).

Thanks-Ordered some skids for the XJ.

I'll get the model # and a picture tonight. Cassette works-used it with a tape input from my MP3 player. Shoot me an email address and I'll send you the picture(s) to it.
