09/27/04Miscellaneous163241Detailing
Finally had a chance to hand wash the Jeep. Washed it with Meguiar's Gold class soap, dried it, Scratch X'd the entire XJ, Polished the entire XJ, and finally waxed the whole XJ. The entire process took about 3.5hrs but was well worth the results... Pic's coming soon...

09/12/04Maintenance162545Wheel Stud/Coolant Flush
Broke a wheel stud off of the passanger side rear axle. I got a hold of a new stud and was in the process of 'sucking' it in with a lug when it began to spin - oh shit!! It was too late, the splines had been stripped off of the stud and axleshaft... So, the search for a new (or used) 29 spline C8.25 axle shaft begins... Also Coolant flushed the cooling system with a BG CT2 machine (50antifreeze/50 H20). Flushed and Bled the brakes (no more soft pedal). Also determined that the rear drums were NFG - so as soon as the shoes wear out, it's getting a complete rear brake job...

08/19/04Repair162126Transmission Mount
Clunking noise had gotten noticibly worse... got the XJ up on a lift and found one bolt from the transmision mount (mounts to crossmember) missing & stripped, the other losse, and 2/4 nuts missing from the area where the isolator mounts to the crossmember (oh shit!!). Ordered up a new isolator/mount from NAPA ($35 @ cost) and had it in ~1hr. All is much better now... also made first road trip with out a problem...
