Stuff to do:

  • Thanks to Lenny and Ghost, My Disco is now a Lincoln Locker! Works like a charm too.​
  • Passenger side outer bearing has been replaced
  • Muffler welded in place
I have a couple of odds and ends to complete, but I am done.
Armor All and some Kit wax........:conceited

Does that make it run faster? I have a brown door on a blue Jeep and I have always felt like it has held me back a little....maybe more drag??:dunno: :rof:

:D It just might.....and then....:conceited
 
If anything, the origin of that door should make it a badass.
 
bleed rear brakes.
go to orthopedic surgeon tomorrow to get shattered thumb looked at.:dunce:
hopefully still get jeep done one handed.:wow:
 
Swapped in a new 6 piece battery cable kit from 5-90 hoping some of my idle issues were ground related. Kit is super well made. Putting in the kit I must have caused a boo boo.

Started up the XJ and it was running terrible. Chuffing black smoke out the tailpipe and idling poorly. This SUCKS!!! The Crawl is 3 days away and my XJ won't idle.

Stared at it trying to find a vacuum leak. Since the brakes were hard, figured that's what it might be still couldn't find anything. Wife gets home and sees my frustration and black smoke. Well, she comes to :NAXJA: and does a search for "blowing black smoke" and tells me to look at the MAP sensor vacuum line. Sure enough it had broken at the TB. Go to parts rig and get a spare so that I know where it is supposed to go. Put on spare and it runs way better.

WhooooHooooo! Yeah baby!!!!!!!!!!! Thank you Sunshine (my wife) and :NAXJA:.
