 If the cars a good one maybe tough it out and let it grow? My XJ was a real grower tbh. Never a nice car but so much character... |
I did a lot of (mostly) maintenance work to my last XJ . I had the time and money to spare to throw at it.
Now I have to work a lot longer and harder to just pay the bills these days. I can't justify spending too much on the Jeep, there just isn't the spare cash. Or the time to play with it. Maybe that's why it's not fun anymore. I didn't used to have to worry about burning time on the XJ when I felt I should be working like I do now.
I'm very tempted to have a go at fixing the pinion bearings myself over Xmas. It's about $80-$100 in parts. Plus I need to buy a torque-meter thingy to make sure I've got the correct preload. The LP D30'd crush bearing doesn't sound like fun to get right either...
