scguy Posted February 27, 2022 Author Share Posted February 27, 2022 Snagged a black mini console if anyone needs one. Don't have the transfer case bezel, it was ruined. Also, finally found an OE 10 slot grille and a straight "air dam". Can't wait to get it on. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
scguy Posted March 10, 2022 Author Share Posted March 10, 2022 I FINALLY have a 10 slot. Just like I always admired in the Quadratec catalog back when I was in high school. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
scguy Posted March 10, 2022 Author Share Posted March 10, 2022 I used to spend class time daydreaming about these two particular Bushwhacker ad photos. The MJ is why I wanted the chrome grille surround, black 10 slot and why I want an ARB bumper Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MiNi Beast Posted March 10, 2022 Share Posted March 10, 2022 I daydreamed that as well for a bit Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

scguy Posted March 23, 2022 Author Share Posted March 23, 2022 Ahem. Waiting on brackets. $230 of brackets. Ouch. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MiNi Beast Posted March 23, 2022 Share Posted March 23, 2022 Yeah I like that bumper. Good deer catcher. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
scguy Posted March 24, 2022 Author Share Posted March 24, 2022 Also on order are the ARB brackets, Dirtbound bumper tie ins and battery hold down bracket Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
scguy Posted March 29, 2022 Author Share Posted March 29, 2022 Yeah, I'm glad I didn't try to fab these brackets. A bit beyond my pay grade. Ordered the turn signals for the bumper from eBay UK. Opened the bracket kit and it came with new ones. Oh well. Got my Dirtbound stuff also. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

scguy Posted April 29, 2022 Author Share Posted April 29, 2022 Ordered parts to add a coolant filter. My block sat with coolant passages open for a few years outside so there's rust in the coolant. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
scguy Posted April 30, 2022 Author Share Posted April 30, 2022 Mounted it behind the front bumper support, protected, plenty of space and the lowest point of the cooling system to catch sediment. I didn't go to the extent of adding ball valves, I'll just likely use hose crimp pliers when I change the filter annually. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
scguy Posted April 30, 2022 Author Share Posted April 30, 2022 Also, after fighting to get both hood latches to release for years, somehow I never sprayed any lube on them. Sprayed them down with some white lithium grease last night and they work like a charm. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

scguy Posted May 13, 2022 Author Share Posted May 13, 2022 Spent an evening finally getting around to adding cruise. Swapped the cruise stalk from my original Renix column shift steering column. I know it's a different plug but the wiring appears to work the same. Also swapped my dull black tilt lever for the Renix one. I'm cursed to like the Chrysler fuel injection but the Renix trim and look. I've got to get a new radiator soon, it's leaking like a sieve.

scguy Posted May 15, 2022 Author Share Posted May 15, 2022 Hit the junkyard today. Augusta PullaPart has 9! XJs with 8 being 84-96. There's some nice seats there for someone. Snagged a coolant sending unit plug, 97+ XJ wiper arms (thought I had already done that but nope), a really nice shifter bezel with all the sliders intact, and the other end of the cruise wiring connector I needed.

scguy Posted May 15, 2022 Author Share Posted May 15, 2022 Also while there, I found a 2000 XJ with a 3" Old Man Emu lift on it. Posted it in the local Jeep FB group for someone to snag. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
