I have a whole list of work to do on my jeep in the next year and I thought we would get started soon. Thought you guys and gals would like to chyme in. If I get enough verbal responses and help I also might have a new GF pic I could add to the list of things to get done. She doesn't have much on. :) I'm sure you guys won't like that pic.
The jeep xj has 255K on it and runs good. I's just getting older and needs some love. So with the cost of new SUV's at about $40K I really don't see a reason why I can't spend $1500 over the next year on upgrades and safety so that my son will get a nicely functioning good condition vehicle.
I'm looking to buy a 2007-2011 Lexus IS 250. The Jeep will still be mine and will be my fun project vehicle. I suspect we will have it another 10 years.
He will get it when I hit about 280K.
#1 Rear Main seal what brand?
oil pan seal , what brand?
oil pump what is the best type or brand?
#2 Rear shackles. I'm getting the polyurethane/rubber combo, unless you guys can find me a better one.
#3 Rear Bushings
2 rear drag links polyurethane
2 sway bar bushings polyurethane
All of the stuff above is for spring break coming up. I don't think that's too bad of a list.
Early Summer
#4 Top of the line track bar with replacement metal plate to change the
type of bar.
Front springs.
#5
Master cylinder,two brake calipers, 2 brake new brake hoses.
Other items I would like to replace but don't know when, most likely summer.
2 seat covers with heaters underneath.
2 new front seat belts.
rear hitch
Front drive shaft and rear drive shaft
neutral safety switch
Padded hood liner
2nd funny horn
roof rack with lights.
Alright so the first 3 are on deck. I need to start buying parts and seals. I want the best parts.
