What did you do to your XJ today? 1M Views

Hey Rodge. Are you feeling OK Mate. This is One of your babies.
Didn't think that you had done so much to it.
I certainly still have a lot of boxes to tick off.

im okay...just want something new (not that there is anything wrong with Bandy).... ya gotta realize when one is a mechanic ya just cant have the same old thing day in day out (i rarely own any one car for more than 5 years)...I love Bandy but its time to look forwards. even so i may keep him...but its been a long thought out decision

Cut out a mess of wiring from my XJ's previous life as a caravan tow.
Wiring for an anderson plug went, badly done trailer wiring went, random single pair not powering or joined to anything went. Heaps of split conduit kept.
Then started on the new wiring for the spotlights, rock lights, rear lights and work light. All wires to the back are run inside 20mm flexy conduit from the rear bar along the sill pinch up inside the plastic inner guard then through the hole under the brake line into the engine bay, should keep everything safe and looks nice and neat.
Now i just have to make a bracket to mount the fuse box and all the relays neatly, join the switching wires in the roof console and it'll be done.

That's easy... keep "Bandy" and buy another Jeep "playmate" for him... drive both!


Oh yeah my total XJ exploits for the day culminated in a spin around the countryside followed up with a radiator check (recently reflowed tank seam joint)... I really need to give it a wash it needs it badly ROTFLMAO

well we still have Tigger (once the V8 goes in). so its not all gloom and despair and i reckon no one will pay the coin for bandy anyways...still a 2 jeep household!

Put in a 4.5 " lift, waiting on a panhard from Wooders and some shockies!!!
thanks to Steve aka JJ for the adjustable arms and Rob aka XJRob for the shock mount raises and the spare to run 30's.
