"Thats a little harsh, there aren't that many people here these days, and we don't always look for threads so it may take some time to see a response.

What was the problem out of curiosity?"

some halfwit in replacing the front disc pads, cross threaded the calliper lower mounting bolt, and then to make it worse....... wait for it......

tried to GLUE it back in, no I'm not kidding.

so i simply had to clean out the thread on the mount and the bolts, find a replacement bolt and put it all together

the PO was lead to believe he had a damaged transfer case,

so now I'm just running through it and doing 20 years of missed TLC.

i wouldn't bother except its a stock very straight car with good paint , white so no clear coat peel, and whats more surprising an exceptionally good leather interior.

only problem now is i have three cars and wife thinks that might be to much

i will never part with my XJ, so now i have to decide weather to keep the ZJ and sell my daily driver, a 2013 ford kuga trend.

my heart wants to keep the jeep, my head says the other.

at the moment the heart is winning.
