Just counted, and there are only 41 days until I am supposed to leave on my long 2+ week expedition in my new 2000 XJ. I have a lot of work to finish in that time, and sure hope I can pull it off. I’m kinda getting worried. I have a whole Jeep that I need to build in that time…..
Wish me luck…..and if you live close and want to help out one weekend, let me know! I can always use an extra hand 😉

Working in the cold and wet snow sucks! Too bad Brian’s Jeep was too tall to fit in my garage.
Nope, not enough room
Guess we will work on it like that……the heater doesn’t work well with the door open
Detroit locker in
Brian cutting the new plate to cover up where the vacuum disconnect motor used to be
my jeep got to park out in the snow all morning

You might remember that my tranny went out on the way back from Tellico in July. Zach saved me by getting his companies tow truck and picking me up near Lafayette, Indiana.
When he made it to The Cliffs this morning, the fuel pump on his truck went out. So I got to drive him back to the shop to get the same tow truck.
Here’s a few pics 🙂

Heading down I-64 in KY at about 65 I hear a loud pop and then my ride got really rough.
I changed it on the shoulder with my full sized spare and then went to the next exit where there was a Walmart and got a new tire
It set me back almost 2 hours
Anyways, I’m here by Windrock now….so all is good.
