Wow Geoff!  Make sure you submit the paperwork for Workman's comp. ;)

Roger came back by today to finish up.  We managed to get the T-case shift lever a little out of whack and Roger was driving around in 4LO since it wouldn't shift.  We dropped the case down a little and after a few minutes of pushing and pulling we got it working.  The 4wd light/vacuum switch needed a little modification to get to work, but we got that working too.  Then we tackled the emergency brake.  Roger swapped the cables over from the D35 to the 8.25 while I made a new adjustment rod for the cables since the old one snapped off when pulling the D35.  We also put the new front bumper on, which was not as easy as I thought it would be, but it looks really good. 

After all that we rolled up to Jeremy's and rolled/ dropped the parts XJ off of the trailer for pick up and then brought my trailer home and parked it back in its spot. 

It was a lot of work this weekend, but we will see next weekend if it was all worth it. ;D

Thanks for all the help this weekend Kirk. It was a lot of work, but the ride is so much better. All of the vibrations and clunking sound are gone and all I can hear is the hum of the tires. I don't have any more axle wrap and the XJ is tracking much better on the road. It was 2 full days of wrenching and I'll probably still have black on my hands for the run next weekend, but it was worth it.

Owning a CJ is for manly men, they allows you to do manly stuff like auto mechanics and welding and drinking beer. Manly men own CJs. Manly men do not drive hummers, they receive them.
