Had to get a replacement new expansion tank.  First one from Rockauto had a crack at the molding seem.

I never noticed that the coolant was jetting out of the bottle :laugh:. You have done quite a bit since I replied earlier. Great work

Thanks!  The Comanche has been quite reliable since I got the cooling system sorted.

Changed my engine mounts today, they had definitely met removal criteria.

Original mounts from 1989!

The new mounts were factory style replacements and they are awesome!  So much smoother.  Most noticeable though is that it shifts into gears so much nicer!

What the?!? Having owned an XJ for the last 23+ years, changing motor mounts has become routine maintenance after that time one motor mount failed completely and the shifter was over in the passenger seat...

Mine looked exactly like this when I removed em :eek:

I replaced them with used genuine motor mounts from a ~00 TJ. Who knows how they will hold up, but they may outlast the clone mounts of unknown quality. I really wish keyparts would clone the motor mounts. I'd grab like 4 sets for keepsies.
