Title: Wrenching in Michigan
Post by: calvynandhobbs on December 31, 2008, 01:02:56 AM
I got my sliders installed and am getting ready to put the seats in the XJ. The cloth seats in the front are being replaced with leather seats that match my rear leather seat. It will be nice to not have that broken seat and lean toward the door.

They're not 15mm anymore. All the bolts were frozen and most of them broke off so they were all replaced with stainless hardware.

It's a combination of a couple different sizes, but I cannot disclose that kind of information.

Everything is done and I'm driving back to CT tomorrow. The seats I put in are very comfortable. Hopefully I won't fall asleep while driving.  ;D After I got the sliders installed I decided to go ahead and do some work on the rockers and clean things up a little bit. I ended up with a two tone paint scheme and I really like how it turned out.

I had to change the batteries and was too lazy to reset the time.

Last Saturday the temp got up to 55 degrees and it poured rain all day long. Snow doesn't have a chance with rain and warm temps.

you may be able to charge the flux capacitor up to 1.1 jigawatts, but getting the jeep up to 88mph, thats the real dilema!

I'm back. I got in around 2130 on Saturday night. I was going to drive back on Sunday, but Michigan, Ohio and parts of Pennsylvania were expecting freezing rain and sleet Saturday night going into Sunday. I had gorgeous sunny, dry weather driving back on Saturday instead.
