What did you do to your Expo Jeep today?

[Bigjerm]

Installed Currie Antirock front swaybar and Skidrow steering box skid and got the MTRs on. Have Ten Factory front axle shafts and Aussie locker sitting in the garage now.

Got my Smittybuilt rear bumper on this past weekend; needed some help from another member here to get the tire swing to work correctly but its g2g now.

Looking good Joker....

i was tired of fighting her today, so i gave her love with a complete underbelly degrease, whole body scrub-down, and engine detailing - which then inspired me to take her to be buffed & waxed:

:sombrero: Put a set of these (5.38)in and a set of Synergy (Zirc) ball joints-then the 500 mile breakin, keeping tabs on the diff. temperature-

Heh Heh, wasn't today, but I've monitored the change for the last 3 weeks and trailer towing, is now "Duck Soup"

Worked out GREAT-phenominal power/mileage/response and makes auto O/D, while towing, solid and manageable-

Made a heavy duty loom for the headlights, just waiting on the H4 sockets so I can put it in. Also replaced the bulbs in the driving lights with a 55W HID kit.

Cheers

today I did the front brake pads and rotors. Combined with he disk brake rear swap, my XJ now can actually stop.

 

[chasingdreams]

Took her out to "strech her legs" up the Taylor Highway to Eagle Alaksa and the Top of the World Highway to the Canadian border.

Made the decision to install a Jasper engine to replace the one that dropped an intake valve seat at 171k miles.

rolled over 322,000 miles so it hit the 5k mark since my last oil change. decided to throw in some engine restore stuff. my friend had told me great stuff about it. i was skeptical but tried it, and i have to say it did make a very big improvement. i thought it was in my head at first but i had my sister drive the jeep without telling her what i did and she said that the throttle response was alot better. the revs are alot smoother and it seems like it has more get up and go. also replaced the cap and rotor which could have a bit to do with it. still aloooooooooot more work and money to go till this lil jeep is in decent condition

second picture was meant to be rotated but i forgot and now im just to lazy so tilt your head for me

Today I put in a new set of Monroe "Gas Magnum" shocks. They came in their boxes in the back of the jeep when I got it. I had to snap off the rear upper mounts (very common) and put in new Grade 8 Hardware, but it all went pretty smoothly. I only broke one front bolt. Automatic Transmission Fluid is made of magic. I put it on the rusty nuts and bolts and though it was hard and stiff, I was able to remove all but one of the front bolts without breaking them.

Out with the old:

And in with the new.

And some shots of the rear:

And this is how it stand now:

I also took care of the rubber piece in the front that was hanging down. I just used some sheet metal screws and the holes that were already there on the underside of the Jeep to put "it's tongue back in it's mouth"
