Heather just uploaded the first part of last weeks adventure in our 1989 XJ. For those that didn't see my previous posts, our friends gave us the XJ when they moved from N. CA to Ely NV about 6 months ago. It had been off the road for 10 years after a botched engine swap by a previous owner. We had planned to go visit them and I thought it would be neat to surprise them by showing up in the XJ. It was a lot more work than anticipated, but we made it. 1985 miles with an average MPG of 17.97. We reached elevations as high as 9000 FT. I was a bit leery after the ignition Control module failed on my first drive to work and the EGR valve got stuck open two days before we left, but it was a successful trip and our friends were very surprised and excited when we rolled up in their Jeep! There will be more to come and please consider subscribing if you enjoy, (YouTube doesn't pay a cent until you have 1000 subscribers, no matter how many views you get). Thanks for following along!

Just like the title says, how in the hell do you get the factory rubber bump stops out of the metal cup to install extended ones? I just bought some Daystar 4" extended stops (2" diameter) and I have basically ripped the hell out of the OEM rubber ones attempting to remove them. It's like it was glued or cast into the metal cup thing. Should I just bust out the torch and fry these M-effers?
