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

[Richard buttocks]

Broke front diff. Think its the sun gears as it locks up and wont turn on the road.
Made for an interesting drive from logan to gold coast
Still managed 5 odd hours of decent 4wdin after it broke.
Had a large group of patrols amazed at what I could do with the diff making horrible noises.

Snapped steering arm. Had enough thread for massive toe in and limp it out of the track

Noticed rear uni in the tail shaft is gone. Was squeaking for ages.

Not a bad day haha

Also got a mates pootrol bogged. Whoops. Took 3 4wds and 4straps to get it out

Yeah I still can't find a decent ADR compliant winch bar apart from arb and that's around the 1400 which I believe is too much.

Gettin it ready for a pink slip, tomorrow.

Hope it doesn't need carpet, was rotting, so I turfed it.
Hope it doesn't need rear bumper end caps. Broke 'em, so I turfed 'em.
Hope it doesn't need a front drive shaft. Or front axles. Haven't got the front diff re-geared yet. I hate bein lazy

Found rust in the front floor, on the trans hump in the D/S, 2 holes the size of a match head, and the inside of the sill on the P/S is rusted through, probably the size of ciggy lighter.

Adjusted the hand brake. Wow, it works...

It goes, it stops and everything works. ;cough; except 4x4 ;cough;
Find out tomorrow...

cheers
